Week 2 Power Rankings: Patience

Admittedly, there are issues when it comes to creating a rankings system that is entirely based on statistics. Clearly the Ravens are not this good, and the Eagles and Broncos beat two of the worst teams I think I have ever seen. And when one of the metrics used is strength of schedule, the ratings skew even more in the early weeks. I think we need a good three, four, or five weeks of games before these will start to truly reflect how good (or bad) certain teams are. But I stand by my system.
