Buster Olney's Top 10 This Week

[HammerDown]

Terrible top 10 in my opinion!!!


Boston #2? Laughable. San Fran and St. Louis would sweep them. Cinci is the 8th best team in the league? KC is 7th best. Utterly absurd.

The Yankees are too low

It's about time he took the Nats off his Top 10. They have done nothing to deserve to be ranked that high. 15 or so is about right.

Why Boston being # laughable?

The Yankees are too low

The only reason the Yankees are in the top 10 is because they're the Yankees. Why are they #9 but Colorado isn't in the top 10? Oh well, it's obvious ESPN East Coast bias. AL East is always heavily weighted in their rankings.

It's not. this numbers based (no alleged east coast bias)ranking has them tied for 2nd

Exactly... Not laughable at all... Pretty accurate actually

ATL's too high. 3-7 in their last 10 games. No reason why they should be ahead of SF and Det (who they recently got swept by)

The Yanks play Colorado this week....The score will be settled

Colorado is not top 10 yet... it is too early not to use preseason projections as a factor in the power rankings... Teams that are playing well and expected to do well will always be ranked higher than the flavor of the week or even month... I dont think i disagree with his top 10 in general...
