I have a Power Rankings algorithm designed, will be a little bit before it's implemented but thought I'd go ahead and list how it's rating out the teams after week 10:

1. New Jersey
2. Carolina
3. Buffalo

The top 3 are very close in the ratings, there is a bit of a drop-off to #4

4. Baltimore
5. Pittsburgh
6. New England
7. New Orleans

#'s 4-7 are very strong as well, just not quite to the tier of the top 3

8. Atlanta
9. Arizona
10. Kansas City

KC rounds out the third block of strength. The rest below are pretty close, with the difference gradually rising as we get toward the end of the list.

11. San Diego
12. St. Louis
13. Tennessee
14. Green Bay
15. Indianapolis
16. Miami
17. Jacksonville
18. Chicago
19. Dallas
20. Cleveland
21. Tampa Bay
22. Philadelphia
23. New York
24. Minnesota
25. Oakland
26. San Fransisco
27. Seattle
28. Houston
29. Denver
30. Washington
31. Detroit
32. Cincinnatti

Nice addition!

Thanks

Great script. I'd love to see it get implemented into the game.

:) Very good, love stuff like this, thanks

It will be :-) It's in pre-beta at this point.

Here are the resumes of the teams in the top 10 with the next 6 teams for reference to round out the top half of the league. Losses for teams in the top half of the league were given a ranking, with no ranking indicated for losses to teams in the bottom half.

1. New Jersey (9-0) Best Wins: #5 Pittsburg, #6 New England, #9 Arizona, #12 St Louis, #15 Indianapolis, #16 Miami
2. Carolina (9-0) Best Wins: #8 Atlanta (x2), #15 Indianapolis
3. Buffalo (6 - 3) Best Wins: #4 Baltimore, #12 St. Louis, #13 Tennessee; Losses: #5 Pittsburg, #9 Arizona, #16 Miami

4. Baltimore (6 - 3) Best Wins: #5 Pittsburgh (x2), #14 Green Bay; Losses: #3 Buffalo, #16 Miami, Cincinnatti

Did My Own Power Rankings based on a equation I made up at 3 in the morning so don't place any wagers on the outcome of games. It was just for fun.
This is exactly as my algorithm spat out with no manipulation based on experience or knowledge of the league, as I am new to the game and this league in particular. Before the Slash is my Ranking after Is Denver (Jdavdibakr) and the position difference followed after the next slash by the available ranking from kansas city (Oukjweather) obviously it will need further work as my knowledge base increases

Pittsburgh Getting lots of love from jdavidbakr but other than that nothing to wild, although disappointed to see even my calculations put me at 19th.

Sorry Cleveland still bottom third.
