I think I have a better grasp of where your original power rankings should have been than you, or your broken program seem to. That's been my complaint from the get go. You said at the beginning that your rankings would get more accurate around week 5. We're about to play our 7th game, and your rankings are still FUBAR.
You're ahead of me by one game. Patriot Paul is running away with it, and even he thinks your rankings are a joke. So don't just take my word for it.
You say you're not defending your grossly errant starting points, then in the next sentence try to defend it. I know how the stupid thing is supposed to work. But if the program starts with bogus assumptions it will magnify those assumptions with each successive week.
Never said there weren't better teams out there than Valley. But I know Crowell, GC, Abbott, Zephyr, Sands, and Ropes are not one of them. Valley has beaten better teams than Happy. They've beaten Crowell (ranked #14 on your joke) and covered the spread (which is your holy grail of criteria) against Throck. I think your Valley mistake just shines a glaring spotlight on the ignorance of your initial assumptions.
You just don't get it, do you? And you have the temerity to ask if I'm ate up? Your like the overprotective mother of a half-witted kid.
