How Markov Chains Can Rank Sports Teams: A Simple Voting Model

This article explains a Markov‑based scoring method for ranking sports teams, treating each match as a vote where weaker teams award points to stronger ones, and shows how to construct a stochastic matrix, handle dangling nodes, compute the steady‑state vector, and derive final rankings, analogous to Google’s PageRank.
