+/- TR gap from a stats junkie

I just put this together for the league I currently play in and I'll be updating it every week or so.
We use a coach reputation ranking in our league to determine which is the best and worst in our league. The math is kinda messy but, in short, the better your team is than your opponent (both in Rep and TR) you gain fewer Rep points for winning and lose more for losing. The inverse is also true; if you are the underdog, you get more for winning but you risk fewer points.
I put together that spreadsheet for two reasons. One, I like having hard evidence for labelling certain coaches 'baby seal clubbers'. Two, I wanted to see if the best and worst teams got to where they are because of the TR differences in their games, an important topic regarding open leagues.
It appears that coaches get to the top both ways. Some by playing tough opposition and winning a few more than they lose and some because they play exclusively against cupcakes. The teams that play cupcakes, though, tend to take much bigger nosedives when they finally do lose/tie those lesser teams, whereas the teams who play the tougher opposition are much more resiliant to a loss or three.
