After a week break, here they are. I had them done yesterday, but I had to change the Jets ranking after watching them last night. Would've posted this earlier but my comp was restricting me access this morning.

Agree with your rankings, especially at the note that the Bengals raped the Raiders on that trade.

Bengals at 17? You can bash the schedule but you play who is on it. They may not finish 12-4 but this team is making me a believer and shoulda put away #5 in your rankings early in the year. The Bills win and Bronco loss cancel each other out.

They are power rankings, not win-loss record rankings. All of the teams above them are better than the Bengals imo (yes even though they beat the Bills), and I could argue that the Texans, Cowboys, and Eagles (all below the Bengals) are better as well.

Hell I have them ranked one sport higher than the "experts" at ESPN do.

I think the Bucs are a little high again but other than that I can accept the list.

Edit: I guess I should rephrase this. I forget once in a while that power rankings aren't necessarily the order of the best teams. I'm just not sold on Tampa Bay.

I think the Bengals are better than the Titans and Bears, and quite possibly the Jets, but it doesn't matter where they're ranked. As long as they keep winning they'll move up.

Haha you really don't like the Cowboys or that Rob Ryan left Cleveland huh? It was interesting seeing you list the Eagles and Cowboys right behind the Redskins while saying the Skins will be last in the the NFC East. Other then I think the Redskins should be lower I like your list. Might have a few teams switched in spots but its all subjective. I agree with your top 6 though.

I like Ryan, no resentment toward him at all. The Browns didn't have the personnel for his type of defense, and it's not hating, but his defenses do not close out games. It was like that with the Browns last year, and it was like that with the Raiders. He needs to adjust his last 5 min playcalling or something.

Looks good, did have two questions:

Why do you have the Bills so high if you think they are a .500 team?
If the Dolphins are better than the Broncos, put them above them since it is a power rankings.

Being a .500 team is my prediction. At the moment they look better than most teams I have listed below them. The notable wins is what kept them this high.


As for the Dolphins, I just can't justify ranking a winless team higher than a team with a win.
