When Lewis Samuels was let go by Surfline, it was assumed that his infamous Power Rankings would go with him. The assumption was half-right; while Lewis’ Power Rankings are posted on his site PostSurf.com, Surfline decided to keep the Power Rankings going on their site as well. Now we have two different sets of ASP Power Rankings, similar to the dual polls we see in college athletics. So naturally, I posted both site’s Power Rankings on one page, to compare the two and see whose rankings fit more closely to your tastes.
