With summer officially over and Fall in the air, the leaves aren’t the only things that are going to be changing. As an NFL fan, you are now leaving #ArbitraryAllTimeListSzn to enter into the much more official (or at least based on more concrete evidence) #PowerRankingsSzn.
While the “all-time list” and “Mount Rushmore” content of the dog days of summer are fun, power rankings have a bit more of a legit feel to them. As opposed to just listening to your buddies arguing endlessly at the bar about their own objective opinions due to a dearth of actual stuff to talk about, power rankings feel more like a glimpse into something like the stock market, where ratings rise and fall based on cold hard facts (or at least what we perceive to be fact in that moment in time).
