That's true. In linear math, you have to account for the zero, but in reality, that's a tie, which can't happen in basketball. So, you can throw that out.
I'm a conspiracy theorist when it comes to this hobby. That's why your plays have appealed to me in the first place. I've used your method with a different set of power rating numbers with some success this season. I've added a wrinkle of my own involving line moves to strengthen my plays. I had Notre Dame as a play last night under my version of the system. Your play tonight falls into both systems like Notre Dame did, which is why I am in love with your play.
As a weaker play in my version of the system, I like Northern Arizona +24 tonight, but the line hasn't moved where I usually check to strengthen or eliminate the play.
