Total points and All Play are included in Power Rankings...Bench points a part of the formula, yes, but only a part of it. Here is the formula used by MFL to calculate the Power Rankings, which I posted in the thread where we discussed using the Power Rankings to determine 6th seed:

points_per_week_per_starter = A
points_per_week_per_nonstarter = B
all_play_wins_per_week = C
actual_wins = D
division_wins = E
Power Rank = A+B+C+D+E

So as you see, there are 5 categories that go into power rankings, and we all, at the time, thought this was best indicator of quality of team.
Regardless of what Preds would have you believe about his team...he is not currently ranked 2nd based solely on his Bench Points
