so these arent power rankings? power rankings are SUPPOSED to rely heavily on the recent results

I think they do to some extent or else UGA would be like 9th or so.

One could fairly ask you "why" in so far as the wins and losses on each team's resume count just as much on your W-L record if they happened just now as if they happened two months ago. Personally I don't see "week 7 power ranking" and "who had the best week this past week" to mean the same thing at all. In my mind a power ranking is how teams' overall bodies of work stack up. I know Kentucky would be none too pleased if their win over Louisville wasn't supposed to matter anymore because it happened a long while ago and if instead the fact they went 1-1 last week should be the only emphasis, and so on. You may disagree and want all the focus to be on recent trends, but that stance is no more or less valid than mine in terms of what a "power ranking" should be. The subjectivity of it is part of what makes it fun for people.

I didn't realize there was an official definition of power ranking. My life is forever changed.
When I rank stuff I do it based on how I think things will finish up when all is said and done.
If I put Auburn football at 14th in the preseason, I'd be a shitty voter. If I put them at 3, people would think I was a shitty voter at the time, but time would have told the truth.
