When all teams only play 1 game...SOS can't really weigh in yet.

LOL what is this...?!

Quote:The common theme in Week 1 was big offense, with 11 teams putting up more than 600 yards of offense. Sure, most of those came against FCS teams, but this is ranking is solely based on statistics.

If your team dominated in the first week of the season, you'll see them in the Top 15 and can vote for them in our Top 40. If not? Wait 'til next week.

WE WIN!!!!

Everything seems to be in order.

The fan rankings also have NIU #1 right now on that site, lol.

See? Jiff must have known something when he scheduled Presbyterian. Playing them has put us on the top!!

All hail the great Jiffy!

This reminds of the UPS power index when NIU was hovering in the top 5 most of the Orange Bowl year.

The NCAA.com Power Rankings are based solely on team statistics. The formula includes current stats for both offense and defense, taking into account teams’ ability to produce positive results on both ends of the field. A strength-of-schedule factor is also included to reward teams that play more BCS opponents, and gives a disadvantage to teams that play a high number of non-BCS and FCS teams. The same SOS factor carries across the whole season for a team, meaning the weekly shift in ranking is accounted for completely by that week’s statistics.

Its on their home page too.
