Does anyone know how it's calculated?

Isn't it a weighted average of your win %, plus the win % of the people you play and it may even factor in who they played. To me, it is a really subjective way of getting at your rank and strength of schedule. Why don't they just put Computer rankings out there and a SOS if they want. To use some secret formula to combine them just seems arbitrary.
