Points will not accumulate, but will be retallied each week. So, if you have a come from behind year, you will visibly see your Power Rankings rise, instead of a team that starts off hot staying at the top all year long.

Any suggestions and/or modifications are always welcome.

I absolutely love this feature. Thank you for doing it!

[bschr682]

it truly is a nice touch.

[JimBob2232]

Me too. Especially climbing up to #13 after years with top 5 draft picks.

Vancouver fourth is nice.
California second 73 points ahead of me, not so nice (for me).

Good job on the ranking though.

Thought it would be interesting to compare the EchoesIE power ranking with the OOTP power ranking.
So I did.
Voila:

This would be more interesting if it weren't absolutely identical...

and I'm happy to still be in the top half.

Huh? It isn't absolutely identical.
E.g., LV is 11th in one, 7th in the other.
Birmingham is 12th and 9th

Um, apparently I should have read the chart more closely. I wonder what the "tendency" category is.

I believe it indicates whether your ootp power ranking is trending up, down, or staying about equal.
