Power Rankings Archives - Most NFL power rankings bounce teams all over
because they disregard strength of schedule, or over-emphasize the most recent game played;
giving too much credit for a single blowout of a low ranked team,
and not enough credit for a close loss to a
high ranked team.
At FootballLOCKS.com we dubbed that {{unstable power ranking syndrome}}.
Historical NFL power ratings at FootballLOCKS.com payed close attention to
strength of opponents played without over-crediting the last
game played (that was too fresh on the mind of many writers);
all in a quest to deliver you with a weekly NFL power ranking that
reflected the power of each team, and not just their record.
For a team to crack the top 10 in FootballLOCKS.com's NFL football rankings, they had to earn it
with more than a single crushing of a bottom ranked squad-- as you'll discover when reading through the archives.
