Looks terrifically scientific until I noticed Sheffield Wednesday in 14th...

Rovers 10th with a marginally better probability of going up than going down.

Pretty sure It's mostly based on form, weighted by recency and division

"Supercomputer" is just another word for "Excel spreadsheet"

Apparently it uses a mixture of match betting odds and Opta's 'Power Rankings', both of which themselves are basically products of historical results. 

So yeah, it's basically predicting this season by using last season's form.

Some teams are going to be really hard to judge, even for Championship standards. Sheff U will be one given the loans they lost (plus Ahmedozdic) without spending much yet. Norwich could finish almost anywhere with their player turnover.
