Power Rankings

Why are we ranked 2nd on sportsline.com, but 6 and 4 on these two sites? They both have Pittsburg listed above us. SI has the Titans listed ahead of us! Man we don't get no respect! :firehead:

Unfortunately, we'll probably never get the respect we want. Especially not until AFTER we've won a Ring.

True that! After we beat a few more teams we should start to move up.

That's fine with me. The less respect we get, the lower profile we stay and the more surprised teams are when we beat them. Example: The Patriots. :laughter:

I agree. It doesn't hurt to stay below the national radar for a while. But as we pile up wins, no one will be able to ignore us.

I really don't think we can be classified as below the radar anymore. Everyone seems to have notied that we blew out... shut out the Patriots. It's hard to not notice that.

The most surprising of those rankings was Dr. Z's, who had us ranked at 5, the lowest of the big 3 sports sites. He's usually pretty nice to us. Last year, he almost seemed a fan...

But I"d hardly classify us as below the radar now... Mort and Prisco have already labeled us AFC champions and Pasquerelli seems close to it.

I think they're all waiting to see if we fall asleep against the Jags and if we can take care of Miami and Philly.
