Week 2 Consensus Power Rankings

[Schmoopy1000]

We all know that power ranking aren't really true until about Week 4 or 5. By that time, first game jitters, adrenalin rushes and just unfamiliarity are behind every player. Week two will begin to sort the pile.

Only three teams in NFL history have started the season 0-2 and won the Super Bowl. 1993 (Cowboys), 2001 (Patriots), 2007 (Giants)

Only four others started 0-2 and made it to the Super Bowl 1996(Patriots), 1998(Jets), 2003(Eagles), 2014(Colts)

Just an FYI

I may be getting old & losing my memory, but I dont remember the Jets ever going to a superbowl since Joe Namath.

Pfft...
Way to show your complete Bias in Power rankings.
Why wouldnt you do it in a more unbiased way like RTK?

Stupid logical people

I feel like there is selective overreaction to week 1 but it is what it is.

Niners secondary is a question mark. I would have them as the 4th place NFC West team currently.

Well even lets say you are right.
The way to not over react to one week of football is to not make drastic changes due to just one week. (to be fair)

I may be getting old & losing my memory, but I dont remember the Jets ever going to a superbowl since Joe Namath.

Oh snap, I caught the 2014 one but totally missed that one. Elway and the Broncos beat the Jets in the CG.

Maybe he meant to say Championship game & not superbowl

The ONLY rankings that matter.

RememberTheKoy's Official 2021 NFL Power Rankings W2

Last weeks ranks are in parenthesis. RemberTheKoy's EXCLUSIVE Division Rankings located at the bottom based on mathematical analytics from the Power Rankings. No other power rankings do it. Very exclusive, very intuitive. These Power Rankings are based on who I think the teams stand right now...

I saw the official power rankings and Minnesota jumped past he Bengals even though the Bengals beat them.

 

[Clayton]

Did you mean Browns in that tier with the Bills, Chiefs, etc. Clayton or did you just forget about them?

Browns are somewhere in between a team that needs great QB play and a team with a good defense. I probably should have used 'mold' instead of 'tiers'

I find the anomalies interesting.

Denver comes in at 17, but was voted as high as 9 and low as 26, which are both larger than standard variations (+8, and -9 from the average). So it appears even a panel of "experts" cannot agree on how good they will be.

Any thoughts on this? Is Denver closer to 9, 17, or 26?

I am old and took it off google this morning.

That is a pretty wide spread but I think that mid range is pretty close. They are in tough with the Chiefs, Chargers and Raiders in that division. Really good defense, solid but not spectacular QB play and some weapons but I'm not sold on Fangio being a HC. I could be wrong though. They could be a dark horse WC team.

Actually when you look at all of the votes Denver not only had the largest deviations but also has more "outliers" than any other team. They have 7 in the 15 to 19 range, but 5 rankings with 4 or more deviation from the average.

Ok, I know it is all kinda boring to crunch these numbers but I don't see that any other team has more than 3 (Raiders, Arizona, GB, possibly more??) I guess all of these teams are still considered relatively unknown quantities by comparison in terms of public perception.

All of this should be somewhat sorted in the next few weeks.
