If you're looking for an upset, I'm going Jaguars over Cowboys and I won't deny part of this is because I hate the Cowboys.

So much for that upset pick. Friggin Tony Romo playing with a broken back, wtf is that about!

Wasn't Week 10 when you said it would all make sense - your rankings, I mean? What was supposed to happen that apparently didn't?

Pittsburgh 3rd? Where did that come from?

Philadelphia 26th? Detroit, New England, Indianapolis, Miami, just to name a few?

I'm busy right now, but I'll try to come up with something a little more realistic in a while.

I just noticed, your rankings are a week old. I guess this week's are still in the algorithm machine.

This is taking the entire season into consideration, not reactionary perceptions based off the last three games final box scores.
It does make sense, it is quite fascinating.
The only problem with using algorithms for rankings is they do not take into account for injuries, like Cardinals losing Carson Palmer. That has to drop them a peg or two, one would think.

Yeah but ....... there's still a whole lot that just doesn't make sense - ESPECIALLY when you take the entire season into consideration. My rankings still to come later. I don't use algorithms, just biorhythms - I just shit 'em out and type 'em.

I've been wondering for a few weeks and think I may have cracked it. Zero, are your ratings based entirely on passer rating differential? If not, they are damned close to it.

Well done earthquake.

All along I have been attributing Zero2Cool's "Power rankings" to a disconnected thought process.
What with his still hovering around #19 on the NFL Picks Leaderboard...[grin1]

I think I like this Gilligan guy \:d/

Nice job StarrMax1 and polargrizz being two of three who correctly picked Rams over Broncos out of the 24 who made a pick for that game.
