Need some advice and a sanity check from the real experts.

In my exceptional boredom waiting for baseball season to start, I started working on models for power ranking SEC teams and creating a method for predicting matchup outcomes. I found using Bill James' pythagorean W/L as a way to power rank teams and assign ratings to be generally simple and passes the initial sniff test.

Here is a photo of the final regular season power rankings based on this:


Here is a photo of our winning probability for each SEC game this year based on these ratings:


And here is what LSU's winning probability would look like for their schedule this year:




LSU was the team I primarily used to tweak my scaling factors to match their results as this was the team that performed closest to their expected record.

I know my model is a bit simple at the moment. Any advice on how I might be able to improve would be appreciated. And feedback is appreciated as well. I feel like my tuning has produced reasonable win probabilities but would love to hear what this board thinks.
