Here are the cumulative results of the
voting that took place at the FF Today board August 13th -15th.
234 lists were compiled to formulate this year's Consensus
Rankings. The FF
Today Board members were asked to rank their top 30 RBs.
The rankings are calculated using traditional polling measures
so that a consensus can be reached. A big thank you to Kirk
Hollis for his help on this feature.
Analysis:
No surprises at #1 or #2, but the choice at #3 may get tough
as the votes are very split between Gore, Johnson, and Addai.
Even Alexander garnered a bunch of #3 votes. After those six,
there are solid choices all the way down to Brandon Jacobs
at #20, but according to the voting, there is a significant
drop-off in value at that point. Tough choices amongst RBs
include Lynch vs. Williams vs. Green & Norwood vs. Lewis
vs. Peterson. And how about Cedric Benson and Thomas Jones.
The two ended up being separated by only 3 votes/points after
69 lists were tallied. Very ironic. Looks like a solid group
of RBs this year with strength throughout the top 30.
