They use the word "power" to try and intimate that their rankings are somehow more accurate. But on one site I saw, the phrase power ranking when in actuality was the same vote of the site staff like we have here. That poll needed some more "power" as they had a school in one of their polls which was not even in the right classification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liltex Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I was thinking the single most factor came from strength of schedule over a period of time tacked on to a perticular coaches winning % + the number of starters returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
