This is waht Paydirt has become for me:

Ive never figured out how the Power Rankings are calculated by the Ai, but the Giants moved up 19 spots this week, Mid Week 8 sim, its biggest jump one of my teams has made that Ive ever noticed as I dont look at the Power Rankings much. The Giants were at the bottom when I started with them and now are at #9 after the 4 wins in a row. Hope we keep movin in the same direction. With the next highest jump, the Texans moved up 12 to the #5 spot! Third best were the Vikings, who jumped 8 spots to #16. Both the Giants and Vikings were bottom dwellers last season but have turned it around quickly with new owners and roster re-builds this season. The old guy in the Giants pic is somewhat of a resemblance, lol, .... nah, well, maybe a little, ha!

The Power rankings are so broken right along with trade scores.

I mean seriously the two 7-0 teams are 4th and 7th with the Chargers (7--0) dropping 5 spots this week?!?!? And the Browns (7-0) dropping 1 spot?!?!?

Ok.... you can think it's their opponents which dropped both these 7-0 teams. The Chargers did beat 0-6 Green Bay but the score was 37-9. An undefeated team is undefeated regardless but then the Browns beat the 5-1 Bengals....so why drop that undefeated team a spot.

Then you could say, statistically they just don't measure up right??? But the Chargers are 3rd/16th on total offense and defense while the Browns are 12th/7th. Thats a combined 19th for both which ranks them tied for 6th in the league. The best overall ranking is the 5-2 Bengals at 4th/4th who the Browns just beat moving the Bengals up 5 spots????? Huh?!?!?!

Now the top team is Atlanta who nobody will argue with ranked 1st/21st coming off a lose while Carolina is #2 after squeezing out a win over Atlanta but ranked 11th/20th and are 5-2 with a split with Atanta which is understandable but they also lost to the Bears (3-4) with total rankings of 8th/25th.

So while an argument can be made for Atlanta #1...what's the aruguement for Carolina (5-2) outranking 2 undefeated teams????

So finally you think maybe wins/loses aren't factored in or even total offense/defense is a mute factor....maybe it's just point differential....maybe it's that easy....nah!!!!

1. FALCONS (6-1) +225
2. PANTHERS (5-2) +32
3. RAIDERS (5-2) +114
4. BROWNS (7-0) +91
5. TEXANS (5-2) +30
6. BENGALS (5-2) +77
7. CHARGERS (7-0) +66

So nope!!!!

Finally, you just give up making sense about the power rankings because they simply have no known logic.

Power rankings are a mess which can be ignored but in the end that's where the point spreads come from in the game....and they max out at -14 as to not get college spreads.

So if you wanna get upset at the game....check out the Power Ranking and start asking what the **** are they based on???

Gg Crazyrazor...my defense really did its job while my offense made a few plays in its continued struggles

GG Androwski. Only the engine make the difference like expected in our games....good luck for the rest of the season!

P.S. where is the Falcons offense?

Good game Chargers/cruz....we just can't stop that run game.

GG KC
