Power Rankings Updated

Power Rankings have been updated for February 28, 2007.

The movement has definitely died down on the rankings, due to the fact that my rankings take into account the entire season without emphasizing recent games.  I’m going to be taking a long look at the rankings in the off-season and will likely change how I calculate the rankings for next year, probably giving the most recent 5 or 10 games more importance to better illustrate how a team performs as the season progresses.

I still think my Power Rankings are a pretty solid indicator team strength, but only if you keep in mind that I emphasize shots taken and allowed.  Teams can win when they’re regularly outshot and can lose when they outshoot their opponents.  As with any stats, take them with a grain of salt.
