I don't like Seattle above Denver, and 3-0 plus potential or not, power rankings for right now should have NE lower IMO. If you are projecting for the end of the season it's fine, but right now they are not the fifth best team in the league.

Compilation rankings are awesome!!!

Power rankings are completely subjective. They are worth a grain of salt. Who cares where the Pats are ranked right now? 3-0 is a great start. At the start of season, I thought they would have lost at least one game by now, luck and resiliency has played a part. Enjoy the wins and don't analyze so much is my motto.

 

[JDM]

I am perfectly happy with where we are. I think by the end of the season we could very well be the best, most complete team in the league.

But right now, for a power ranking that's supposed to be based in part on how they have played so far, they seem high.

 

[night]

Seems a little early to even care about the power rankings much.

 

[gowazzu02]

im surprised Seattle is above media darling manning.

 

[Golden Spur]

Panzers up 4 spots -> still not quite a believer, though.

Judging how the media can't even have a clear cut favorite since week 1, the power rankings right now is clearly subjective and rightfully so because it's still way too early to tell.

The Broncos right now are the best team offensively and their defense is decent with the ability to stop the run, but near the bottom in opponent passing game. The Seahawks right now, on the other hands down have the best defense in the league and the offense is decent. I'll even vouch for the Hawks right now in even saying they do have a slightly tougher schedule heading into week 4 than Denver.

Overall, you can't go wrong with putting either team at #1 right now. It's still too early in the season to know who's really #1.

Holy Hell Man! What an in depth set of rankings. These are awesome and must have taken you a helluva long time to compile. Great job!
