What is a "Power Ranking"?

This question comes up every year. This is from Google, but please interpret how you see fit and vote accordingly.

Power rankings are periodic lists that rank sports teams or players from best to worst based on current form, strength, and recent performance rather than just official win-loss records

Standings: Purely mathematical. They rank teams strictly by wins, losses, and ties.

Power Rankings: Flexible and interpretive. A team with a worse record might rank higher than a first-place team if experts believe they are playing better at the moment.
