WEEK 14: Final installment of the power ranks. No shocks in order or scores, but definite movement. The teams trending up definitely showed themselves with an incline over the last two weeks (since there were no Wk 13 ranks).

WEEK 12: Points down. Power scores down. Big surges, big corrections (though not at the edges). The parity is more evident than ever. Speaks to the competitiveness of the league. Are the Cheetahs about to pop? Bruisers rally? Doms, Marauders, WFT fade? We'll see.

WEEK 11: Better scoring this past week boosted the averages slightly. Accounted for big trade (GK/RMX) in the Wk11 projected points input. The upper half has a couple of fast risers. Does this tell us something about what's to come? The lower tier has a bottleneck that will soon clear itself.

WEEK 10: A low-scoring Week 9 and the ongoing bye week shuffle taxed power scores a little from the previous week. Still familiar scenery on the top end, and below that...plenty of up/downs reflecting the inconsistency so many have experienced this season. If your team's score went up this week, well done.

WEEK 9: The highest Power Score average of the season thus far (8.72). Record three weeks in a row with no 7's. The top 3 establish some notable distance from the rest of the group. The tiers are beginning to solidify, but every week is a chance to change the order.

WEEK 8: The top 4 remain unchanged. In a seemingly formulaic shuffle, the middle 4 teams from last week traded places with the lowest 4. Still no 7's in the scores. Means there's still a lot of hope amid the parity.

WEEK 7: The narrative shifts with the scores. Addicts on the rise. Suddenly tight at the top with a 4-team separation in power scores. Some teams continue to bounce, a few holding steady. No 7's for the first time in a long time! That won't hold up.

WEEK 6: Several sizeable power score adjustments entering this week, especially in the lower 6. The Wolves still hold a big overall edge. A lot of room to move up if you can piece things together right. One good way to do that is to start 10 active players. It's unlikely to be the same ones you started in Week 1.

WEEK 5: Winning records don't necessarily mean winning power scores, as evidenced by this week's shakeups. The Wolves challenged the Commish's mediocre algorithm. For the first time ever, there were two sets of scores that required an extra decimal point to be ranked. Simple rounding wouldn't account for just how close these rankings are.

First week of rankings, things are always a little stretched. Obviously no "rank change" element this time around. Annual reminder that the metrics for these rankings are Total Points, Total Wins, Pts Last Week, Projected Points this week, Rest of Season score, ESPN rank. These are distilled down to a general 7-10 point range, then averaged out (with slightly more weight on wins than the other factors).
1) Wolves | 9.72
2) Addicts | 9.44
3) Dominators | 9.19
4) Football Team | 8.85
5) Bruisers | 8.82
6) Marauders | 8.65
