HawkerHurricane's NFL Power Ratings, 2005 edition

[HawkerHurricane]

OK, here’s how I figure this out…
Two points for every victory. One point for every victory that the team defeated has. Ties go to the better record. Still tied, goes to my opinion. I’ll admit my bias in advance: I like teams from Los Angeles. And no, the Raiders aren’t from Los Angeles. I understand they played some games in Los Angeles, but I first heard that they had when they stopped.
I used this system to correctly predict the Super Bowl winner in 2002. Don’t knock it.
To the ratings….
