I have ranked the clubs in MLS (I split out the Canadian MLS teams from the US teams) and the Mexican Primera Division. I did this to see how MLS teams compared to Mexican teams and also to see who is the best team in North America. I used regular season games, playoff games, and CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) games to create the ratings. I use a "country" rating that is generated based on how the US, Mexican, and Canadian teams do in the CCL. I also use a rating that is generated from how many wins and draws a teams has in the regular season, playoffs, and CCL. I combine these two ratings to get the final rating. The ratings are after the jump...
Please feel free to provide any feedback or comments. I am still trying to tweak the ratings and would appreciate your thoughts and comments.
