I think that they should reserve the power ranking until at least the 5th week. Things are so volatile in the first few weeks that it is not reasonable to try and assess much of anything.

On another note, what the hell is going on with these new rules to "protect" players. This is football, you know a physical game. While I think that blatant personal fouls should be enforced, the types of penalties players are getting, especially for hitting QB's is downright ridiculous. The scariest part is, these rules get stricter every year, we have indeed stepped onto the slippery slope. Next thing you know they will be playing football indoors!

I understand that the rules committee is considering implementing a new dictum mandating that QBs wear this getup begining next year.
