Our weekly rankings are based on an average ranking from Yahoo! Sports, ESPN, Sportsline and SI.  
Our viewpoint is that it is better to smooth out the variation in recommendations from different sources
and arrive at more useful data.  The highest and lowest ranking is included as well so you can see how
greatly the "gurus" differ in their opinions.

Note: In determining our rankings, if a player is not included in a source's weekly rankings, it is
assumed that the player would receive the next spot.  For example, Sportsline ranked 20 Defenses.  If
a Defense wasn't on their list, we put him at 21 since there is no way to know whether he would be 21,
22, etc.
