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.
liltex Posted August 23, 2010 Report 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.
