***UPDATED 12/01/04 8:50 PM EST***
I keep these updated every week, just for my own enjoyment. And I present them to you all for your enjoyment.
What:
Its in an excel document. Its the power rankings in a nice excel document without the need to visit all 10 of these sites individually to get the power rankings from the site. Hey, its easier to compare that way, right? They are all listed side by side. I would make it an HTM but for some reason the borders around the boxes become crooked due to the inclusion of pictures (you will see). Besides the fact that the pictures seem to escalate the HTM to about three times the size of the XLS format.
How:
It was made using Microsoft Excel...using pictures from the ESPN power rankings ...those little 51x51 images of the NFL logos.
Why:
My brother once told me that he knew a site that did just this; List off all the power rankings from around the web in a nice viewable way. That site has since disappeared, and I thought to myself "Man i really hate going to ESPN, CNNSI, etc. and downloading all those crap ass adds just to read the opinions of a so called 'experts' with their little blobs which are usually negative towards the eagles anyway."
Who:
Heres the people I included:
ESPN Staff Power Rankings
Dr.Z's Power Rankings on CNNSI
Pete Prisco's Power Rankings on SportsLine.com
CBS Staff's Team Rankings available at SportsLine.com
Vic Carucci's Power Poll on NFL.com (he only ranks 12 teams)
The War Room's Power Rankings available on Fox Sports.com and Sporting News.com
James Alder's Power Rankings available on About.com
Jeff Sagarin's calculated Rankings on USAToday.com...his rankings are less opinionated, more of a performance base.
The Commish's Rankings on AskTheCommish.com
Brad Oremland on Sports-Central.org
Staff here at Sportscolumn.com
Averaged Troy Aikman's Defense/Offense Efficiency Ratings
TSN.ca power rankings.
I didnt want to include rankings from biased unknown people from newspapers. I know of rankings in the Boston globe and on some Minnesota Vikings site due to searches on google , but those are probably more biased than the ones i have listed...
You will see a blank column for football.com...im still waiting for updated rankings on that site...
You will also see a few pages in the book for Week 3 and 4 which of course arent out yet. Well the Week 3 is for this week and the week 4 i have for a template so i can make new copies of the base template.
You will also see a column for Troy Aikman separate from the other 10 columns. Every week over at NFL.com, he posts these wacky ratings for defense and offense based on some equation that he came up with. He is pissed off with the NFL's means on ratings Defenses and Offenses (ratings by yards and points) so he has emailed the NFL and just for his own amusement he is doing his own ratings. So what I did was take the average of the two values he posted for each team's offense and defense, and arranged them high to low. The order of the teams are reflected in the excel document in that column .
And here I present for you, exclusive to this forum only (maybe try to keep it that way?)...Power Rankings in an Excel Document:
