NFL Power Ranking: Averages

A lot of websites put up Power Rankings each week. Here are 6 websites that do so:

NFL.com, ESPN, NBC, CBS, FOX, and the Bleacher Report.

The New York Giants are tops on the list with an average ranking of 1.83. Cleveland Browns are clear bottom feeders with an average rank of 31.3. My beloved Patriots were ranked as high as 5 and as low as 8.Philadelphia had the most disparity with an average rank of 8, but were ranked as high as 4 and as low as 14. Below is a list of the composite averages of all 6 websites.

P.S. The whole reason I spent an hour and half doing the math to come up with these averages was because I wanted to know which website was the most accurate with their own rankings when compared with the averages. ESPN had 10 correct, NFL and NBC had 9, Fox had 7, Bleacher Report had 6, and CBS had 5. Am I the only person on the planet that cares. Probably.
