    BEST power rating

    Who do you guys think have the best power ratings early in the season. ????

    The problem with power ratings is they pretty much are all the same-------I mean, they use the same data roughly.

    They usually combine last year's performance coupled with returning starters-----guys with multiple sets will include subjective data like adding a number for a great QB or a great coach, and others will even try and quantify recruiting and include it.

    I create my own power ratings---I have even traded them with guys like NY56----and I find them to be eerily similar to the numbers released by guys like Steele, Lawrence, and even the GS.

    The bitch is how to adjust the power ratings/numbers throughout the season. What do you do to a team like VT who loses to James Madison? or how about a team like Ohio State who lost their head coach? How do you quantify those things?
