Right now the Jazz has the 19th best record but I would put the Jazz at about 14 in power ranking. So I guess USA Today is most accurate in my opinion

The teams that have a better record (Feb record in Parenthesis) but I have lower than the Jazz in the current power rankings are:

- Detroit Pistons (3-0, 3 home games)
- LA Clippers (2-0)
- New Orleans Pelicans (1-2)
- Portland Trailblazers (0-3)
- Miami Heat (0-3)

They are all opinion, so whichever comes closest to your opinion is the most accurate.

It may be nerdy but Net Rating I think is probably the best. In terms of favoring recent success/failures as power rankings do you can just weight recent games more heavily

I laughed at Pelicans ranking in ESPN. Last weeks ranking 17th, had 1-2 record in the week, moved up by one to 16th lol. Yet Jazz was 18th, had 3-0 week and moved by one to 17th only?
