Thought I'd give this a go, it's non-biased since it is based off a formula. The formula uses wins, strength-of-schedule, and point difference; with it weighted in that order.

Without further ado: Week One's Power Rankings.

For those wondering about the formula:

Basically take the win total and multiply that by 4, then add in stregth of schedule (which is a running difference of your opponents win/lose divided by 16), and finally add in Point Difference which is divided by 100. Then all of that is divided by the week number.

So as the season goes on SOS will play a larger role, but will not skew the importance of win totals, the PD is thrown in as another factor to set like teams apart.

Guarantee that.


On a different note, we're investigating a possible bug that changed our game plan against Texas. We're gonna be on top of our tactics screen from now on because of it.
If anyone else has had this problem so far this season, let me know. I've already heard that a couple teams from USA A and AA have also experienced this in the last 2 days so it's obviously not a coincidence apparently.
We're waiting to see if someone submits a post to the Bugs forum so we can get our 2 cents in. If not, one will be submitted real damn soon.
