Week 5 Power Rankings.

I decided to do my very own power rankings. However, instead of using my inferior judgement skills, I decided to do it mathematically. First, I based it off of Win/Loss. I've never been fond of a 1-3 team being ahead of a 3-1 team. Second, I based it off of strength of schedule played so far. The lower the strength, the lower the rating. This has created some interesting listings.

I am going to do this after Week 5, Week 10, and Week 15. I think it will be interesting to see how things progress throughout the season.

Now, onto my power rankings!

  30. Carolina Panthers 1-4 54% SOS
  31. New Orleans Saints 1-4 36% SOS
  32. Cleveland Browns 0-5 60% SOS
Some interesting notes:
Team with the hardest SOS so far this season: Jacksonville Jaguars. Next up is the Denver Broncos.
Team with the easiest SOS so far this season: New York Giants. Next up is the Houston Texans.
Please note that this doesn't mean that I think that the Jaguars are better than the Saints, though I think there is a strong argument in that direction. I acknowledge that there are many other factors in deciding how good a team actually is. (For example, the Chargers have beaten a three one-win teams but lost to the Saints and the Falcons.) I do think, however, that this gives another perspective on how teams are doing so far this year.
