One variable that is HUGE and no one ever talks about is the fact that you are playing against totally different teams from week to week. Since everyone is randomized into a new league each "season" your competition can vary significantly. Add this to the normal variance of a single game, and you get results like we experience; reverse sweeps and unexpected standings.
The control we have over our teams is limited. As mentioned, you can have a 110-52 season one week and find the same team (the following week) go 81-81.
How do you fix it?
No good answers, but some kind of logic code that would pair up teams to similar "talent" ratings would certainly help. Right now I think all it does is match up teams with similar win-loss records and that doesn't work well.
(PS: and I'm not sure it even does that)
