First Ever Jefferson’s Finest Power Rankings

Brought to you by the Jefferson’s Finest Championship Series
Special thanks to my research schedule for giving me down time with nothing to do today.



These official power rankings are calculated based on a standardized objective quantitative valuation equation as well as my own personal opinion.  The equation takes into account total points for, total points against, win/loss record, position rank of each player in starting lineup (accounting for bye week changes), and current standings.  My opinion takes into account whatever I want.  However, since this is the first installment of official power rankings, I will not alter any of the formula’s rankings with my own opinion this week.

And so… at this point in the season, power rankings are as follows:

#12 with a JFCS (Jefferson’s Finest Championship Series) score of -9.263157895: Black Angus.  No surprise here.  Doug Martin and CJ Spiller have really hurt Spike this year.  Too bad you didn’t keep Peyton (Lucky Matt).  You’ve done well on the waiver wire (Harry Douglas and others), but it seems to be too little too late.  You are almost mathematically eliminated from playoffs.


#11 with a JFCS score of -7.571915064: Reynosa el Torro Loco.  In his first year back from his mission, Matty B decided not to keep Peyton Manning and instead to draft Tom Brady.  To improve his QB he had to trade away Demarco Murray to get Andy Dalton.  Andre Johnson also didn’t pan out, leaving the Mexican Team Owner with the fewest points scored in the league to date.  Better luck next year bro.

#10 with a JFCS score of -1.001988636: Skittles Taste Dwayne Bowe.  Just 2 years removed from a championship, Mike struggles to put up points.  As noted by columnist Austin Hyde, Mike tends to play Fitzgerald on down weeks and bench him on big weeks.  You do have the best RB in the league and you rival Taylor for best team name.  Your QB is also 4th best in the league.  But why do you have three TEs on your team?  And none of them are Jimmy Graham.

#9 with a JFCS score of 2.462191358: Sandusky’s Tight Ends.  Our first JFCS score that’s not a negative number.  Ty, you are pulling wins out of nowhere.  Keep it up.  Only Brady has had fewer points scored against him.  You must be intimidating your opponents or something, because your 536 Points For ranks as 9th highest, but you are currently ranked 4th in the league overall.

#8 with a JFCS score of 5.494940476: Draft Champion
At 4-4, Jared still has hope that the draft won’t be the only thing he won this year.  It’s an uphill battle however, considering Jared has had the most points scored against him. Julio Jones’ injury and J-rod’s replacement WR starters aren’t helping his cause.  I feel like stuff like this happens to Jared every year.

#7 with a JFCS score of 7.171744792: Salt Lake Mountaineers.  With a logo made by my cousin-in-law, the best thing about my performance might be that logo (and it’s not even as good as Taylor’s).  I’ve lost the past 2 weeks by a combined 5 points and have all but given up hope on playoffs. After trading away Andy Dalton for Demarco Murray I’m hoping he gives me the boost I need to win 4 straight and squeak into playoffs.

#6 with a JFCS score of 7.686848958: Houston Heat.  Fewest Points Against.  Interesting weeks for Brady: Week 2 loss by 1 point to Matt, who is leading his division.  Won week 3 while scoring only 44 points.  Scored just 55 against Taylor and only lost by 2.  You have the best defense in the league, Brady (fewest points against).  Even though you’re only 6th in the JFCS, you’re currently third place in the league, thanks largely in part to Dez Bryant.

#5 with a JFCS score of 9.427573529: Auty 2 Hottie. Austin, you have been outscored by your opponents by 66 points, but you’re still 4-4.  That’s impressive.  Good thing you got Cam Newton, instead of relying on Mike “Mr. Glass” Vick.  Your playoff hopes are still alive, especially if you can get a WR for one or two of your RBs.

#4 with a JFCS score of 10.21180556: Little Chicago Criminals.  Chiefs D.  Undrafted.  Jimmy Graham is behind only Dez Bryant and Megatron in total scoring for the WR/TE category.  You took him in round 4.  Great keepers in Drew Brees and Frank Gore.  Welker’s been awesome too.  Your team is real good.  In fact, according to total points scored, your team is the best in the league.  But I think we all hope you don’t repeat as champion.

#3 with a JFCS score of 10.22853535: NSL Knights. Peyton Manning is leading all scorers with 215 points.  Next highest is 163.  How have you lost at all?  And how was one of your losses to Nick?

#2 with a JFCS score of 15.46153846: The Ansah.  Why is The Ansah number 2 in the power rankings?  Maybe my formula is flawed.  Maybe it’s cuz Jared Hatch changed his team name.  Or maybe you, Nick, really are just most improved.  In any case, you’ve come a long way since drafting three defenses in our inaugural season.  That was back when I was league manager.  Man am I gald it’s Austin now.

#1 with a JFCS score of 42.98425926: Attack of the Marshawns.  Somehow Taylors JFCS score is nearly 3 times better than the number 2 team.  His starting lineup includes the third best QB, the second and third best RBs, the number 1 and number 7 WRs, the third best D/ST, and a kicker (he is 6th best at his position but who cares about kickers).  In summary, Tay Tay Money’s team is scary good.  This is your season to lose, Tay.  Pressure’s on.

So that’s it.  Power rankings have been released.  Feel free to debate them.
