Hasn't the BCS shown that a formula to rank teams pretty much doesn't work?

That being said, it is hard to look at teams in week 1 and rank them, regardless of how you are doing it. It's a new season.

Mo'...i dono if you payed attention to sully's rankings last year, but by the end, they wound up being pretty damn good.

This isnt the ESPN power rankings most of us are used to...this is taken game-by-game...and as of right now, the Fins, Steelers, etc. played the best games.

The rankings always look flawed at first...after about 5 or 6 weeks they'll start to look more normal. This is due to certain guys having rediculous games (a la Willie Parker and Gus Ferrotte), as well as favorable matchups for certain teams.
