Pick Standings
A high-ranked Dallas team is one-and-done in the playoffs thanks to a surging team from New York. Somehow, that sounds oddly familiar...
In spite of my warnings to the contrary, APR (and SRS) were right to pick Grand Rapids to beat Arizona. And Arizona (and to a lesser extent, Dallas) show the correlation between losing a "meaningless" end-of-season game, and early exits from the playoffs.

Power Rankings
Georgia and San Jose are virtually tied in their power index, so relatively minor changes to their power index values swaps their rankings. In hindsight, it looks like APR was right to rank Dallas as low as it did.
Note that New York's power index is just a shade under Chicago's... another upset isn't out of the question.
