1961 Stats

Rank Sum– Wins Rank + (Stats Rank * 2) + Efficiency Rank.

Efficiency– Ranks players based on Passer Rating.

Stats– The JTA’s ranking of which players had the best total touchdowns, total yards, interceptions, and fumbles combined

Wins Bonus– If starred (*), the player is outright #1 in wins; his Rank Sum will get a bonus of -2 * (however many games he is ahead of the nearest competition)

Tie Breaker– If two or more players have the same Rank Sum, the first tie breaker is wins, and the second is efficiency. The player ahead gets a (-0.25) in their Rank Sum to signify that they are ahead.
