Here at the ICT Zone, our power rankings are based on a very simple philosophy. "To be the man you gotta beat the man", if a lower ranked team beats a higher ranked team, then the two teams automatically swap spots regardless of results from prior weeks.
The second week of games was very mundane in that there weren't a lot of surprises. The great teams continue to improve, as the not so great teams slowly lose ground. The Seahawks-Patriots matchup was an amazing look into the future of the NFL and a new age of mobile quarterbacks. Speaking of mobile quarterbacks, it's time we start looking like Dak Prescott in the proper light, an elite quarterback.
With that said, let's look at our Week 3 Power Rankings.

(0-2)

Guys, I am devastated. I let you all down last year. It was right under my nose that UConn would win the championship, but I missed it due to poor data collection.
