The 2014 Regular Season has concluded and so have the weekly power rankings.
To the handful or so who picked up on the "sophisticated algorithm" predicated these rankings and kept quiet, thank you.

The rankings are merely the teams passer rating differential.
What that means is any individual who threw a pass for the team is calculated in the quarterback passer rating. That also applies for the defense too. Both of the values are are compared and the team with the highest differential has the highest rank. This season it is the Green Bay Packers.

I am confident that between the top five in these rankings, at least one will be in the Super Bowl, if not the winner.

The Colts and Texans jumped up +7 positions while the Dolphins fell -7 positions.
