Originally it used the page rank algorithm to rank each indivisual team in each league compared to the league. It also ranked each league and added in winning percentage for the league vs other leagues and teams vs other teams in the league. Also winning percentage for the last 10 games. I then used a neural network but switched to a svm. The page ranked seemed useless to the svm and when I viewed how good it was by using seaborn it seemed the page rank was indeed useless so I removed them.
