BengalsRZ Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Our rankings are kinda all over the place. Ranging from #3-21. Looks like nobody knows what to expect. I guess almost every will be shocked when we are playing in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Everyone gets the wakeup call after week 2, then they can get off the raven's ass and start paying attention.

BENGALS666 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Q: why do Power Rankings change every week? A: because none of these fuckers have a clue.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBengalFan Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I've done the analysis. Won't bore everyone with the excrutiating details, but in a nutshell I: 1 - Figured how far off each "expert" placed each team from the average of the other 7 2 - Weighted each "expert" in terms of the cumulative margin of error - those with less total error were weighted higher. 8 for the best, 1 for the worst. 3 - Re-ran the weighted averages for each team and computed their relative ranks. The weights were: 8: Wyche (error = 65.75) 7: Brooks (70.50) 6: Theismann (75.00) 5: Lombardi (76.00) 4: LaCanfora (80.00) 3: Kirwan (81.75) 2: Brandt (85.50) 1: Carucci (87.50) Usually Brandt is MUCH closer to the mean and Theismann is MUCH farther. I chalk this up to Week 0 being a total crapshoot. Here's the concensus ratings for all 32 teams: 1: 86 GB (2) 2: 112 IND (1) 3: 113 NO (4) 4: 142 BAL (1) 5: 228 SD 6: 236 DAL 7: 328 MIN 8: 334 NYJ 9: 361 NE 10: 392 ATL 11: 395 CIN 12: 421 HOU 13: 433 SF 14: 486 PIT 15: 510 MIA 16: 572 NYG 17: 629 PHI 18: 638 TEN 19: 676 WAS 20: 701 OAK 21: 783 CAR 22: 806 ARI 23: 842 CHI 24: 846 JAX 25: 871 DET 26: 879 DEN 27: 908 SEA 28: 978 KC 29: 1000 CLE 30: 1078 TB 31: 1107 STL 32: 1117 BUF Legend (fewer points is better) RANK: Points TEAM (# of 1st place votes) Note: If you throw out Theismann, we move up from 11th to 9th. The top 16 would be: 1: GB 2: IND 3: NO 4: BAL 5: DAL (up 1) 6: SD (down 1) 7: NYJ (up 1) 8: MIN (down 1) 9: CIN (up 2) 10: ATL 11: NE (down 2) 12: HOU 13: SF 14: PIT 15: MIA 16: NYG Continuing the lunacy, here's the current concensus post-season picture, including Theismann: NFC-E: 236-DAL 572-NYG 629-PHI 676-WAS NFC-N: 86-GB 328-MIN 842-CHI 871-DET NFC-S: 113-NO 392-ATL 783-CAR 1078-TB NFC-W: 433-SF 806-ARI 908-SEA 1107-STL AFC-E: 334-NYJ 361-NE 510-MIA 1117-BUF AFC-N: 142-BAL 395-CIN 486-PIT 1000-CLE AFC-S: 112-IND 421-HOU 638-TEN 846-JAX AFC-W: 228-SD 701-OAK 879-DEN 978-KC NFC Seeds: (1)GB (2)NO (3)DAL (4)SF (5)MIN (6)ATL AFC Seeds: (1)IND (2)BAL (3)SD (4)NYJ (5)NE (6)CIN Wildcard Playoffs: ATL@DAL = DAL MIN@SF = MIN CIN@SD = SD NE@NYJ = NYJ Divisional Playoffs: MIN@GB = GB DAL@NO = NO NYJ@IND = IND SD@BAL = BAL Super Bowl: Packers over Colts (The non-Theismann picture would be: NFC Seeds: completely unchanged AFC Seeds: (1)IND (2)BAL (3)SD (4)NYJ (5)CIN (6)NE We and NE still lose our Wildcard games, although to different opponents.

oldschooler Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 From FOX Sports ... 3 Bengals Why isn't everyone talking about this team? Sure, they'll sign some questionable players from time to time, but when you examine Cincinnati's roster, you'll find they don't have many weaknesses. And defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is among the best at getting the most out of his players. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/powerRankings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincity Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 It's amazing me how the "experts" aren't looking at Ed Reed being out for 6 weeks (at least). How the Ravens haven't played well within their own division, and how they STILL don't have a deep threat.... The Bengals could play 8 in the box against them, because neither TJ nor Boldin are going to beat JJ and Leon deep. Their defense really has a bad match up against the Bengals.
