Records are the league's official standings. The model does not read them directly — it works from margins and opponent quality — which is why a team's rank here and its rank on the ratings board can differ.

Ratings move after every final score, scaled by margin and by how strong the opponent was at kickoff. A close win over a good team can be worth more than a comfortable win over a bad one.
How this page stays current
This recap is generated, not typed. Every time it loads it re-reads the live scoreboard, the live standings and the ratings table, so it reflects the newest completed week automatically — and a new recap replaces it once the next week kicks off.
