Absolutely, that's one of our plans for the immediate future. What makes such a task hard is the number of requests to the FIRST site necessary to gather the info for every team; all the processing is done client-side, so the number of requests to the FIRST site would be enormous, which is undesirable.
Luckily, my partner in this project came up with a better way to fetch and store so much information, and he began work on it this afternoon. We'll begin writing code tomorrow for global rating calculations and a corresponding match prediction tool, which we'll hopefully publish before the end of the day. (Last minute coding in the stands, as always!)
