ESPN Power Rankings

[Douglar]

Last year, I tracked the status of all the different Cavs picks over the course of the season. This year, I'll track the different power rankings in a graph.

What would be better? Tracking a bunch of different team's power rankings so we can watch the batter for the 8th seed unfold or watching a bunch of different power rankings so we can see what the average impression is of the Cavs team?

Here's the Cavs power rankings so far:

I'd like to see a compilation of power rankings to watch the battle for the 8th seed.

Playoff graph.

 

[AuxiliaryPie]

Id go with battle for 8th seed as well, it will be pretty neat after a couple weeks of games to easily see who's who

 

[Binkster]

I'd like to see the battle for the 5th seed.

 

[Frank Stallone]

They dropped in power rankings? Damn. We suck!

 

[Ohio]

Seeds 6-8 would be ideal. If possible.

 

[KI4MVP]

How did they drop us? I thought we looked good in the preseason. I don't care who wins the game, I care how we look when our main guys are playing and there was a lot to like. Maybe they didn't bother to watch any of our games?

Tracking a bunch of different team's power rankings is the way to go. Let's see how far up the chain we go this year!

I agree with tracking different teams' power rankings, because it gives us another opportunity to bash Simmons.

 

[Josh Criiiiibbs]

I'd be most interested in a graph that tracks all of the various power rankings and their perception of the Cavs as the season progresses.

I could honestly give two shits what a random writer thinks of Detroit or Washington, but I'd love to look back and see how people like Stein and Spears shifted throughout the year in terms of the Cavs specifically.

I also love graphs and RCF, so I'll look at whatever you make.

I hope people are sleeping on the cavs

Pelton's Schoene projections after the Wizards trade have the Cavs coming in pretty close to a three way tie with New York and Toronto for the 8th seed.

Detroit as the 5th seed :chuckles:
Atlanta as the 6th seed :chuckles:

That's awful.
