2010 Average Rankings Position Spreadsheet

It's time for the 2010 Average Rankings Position spreadsheet! I snagged the latest Top 100 rankings from 9 different websites and they're updated as of this evening, August 11th. I'll be conducting an update at the end of August for those of you who have drafts at the end of the month. The sites I looked at all provide their rankings for free on their sites and they include: Ask the Commish, CBSSports.com (note: CBSSports.com is providing 2 different sets of rankings this year), ESPN, FFToolbox, FOX Sports, KFFL, NFL.com, SI, and Yahoo.

A few things to note about the spreadsheet:

• This is just an average of Top 100 players. I'll try and update the spreadsheet this weekend to reflect the ranking within position as well, so look for that update in the Google Docs version of the spreadsheet in the next few days.
• I tried to ensure that the experts all used the same scoring system (non-PPR) but many sites didn't note their scoring system at all.
• I pulled all of these rankings within the span of an hour or two so that they represent rankings from the same time period/news/injury updates, etc.
• As in the past several years, I assigned a ranking of 125 to any player that wasn't ranked in the Top 100 by a site. For example, several sites did not rank Vincent Jackson within their Top 100 players, so I gave Jackson a ranking of 125 from those sites to try and represent that missing rank.
• I've included the standard deviation of each player's ranking so that you can get an idea of how much consensus there was on a player's ranking across the 10 experts. So the lower the standard deviation, the more of a consensus there is on the ranking for that player. I added the standard deviation to the average ranking position to create one number to represent both a player's ranking and the level of agreement on that ranking. I find this pretty interesting in and of itself, but it could be particularly useful for players that are a bit deeper in the Top 100. 
• With my late August update, I'll try to incorporate the bye weeks for each player if that's of interest to everyone - just ran out of time tonight and wanted to get this posted for you all ASAP!

To view the full average rankings, see the Google Docs version or send me an e-mail and I'll shoot over an excel version your way. But here are the top overall 30 players across all positions for the 2010 season according to the average from 10 experts (9 sites):
