They are all irrelevant.

They are all irrelevant.

This man has no time for power rankings.

Amen.. this aint the NCAA.. nobody is voting you into the playoffs and nobody is voting you a champion. Everything will be earned on the field. These rankings aren't worth the electrons used to transmit them over the internet.

How can any power rankings not have Jake Ferguson #1?

I don't trust the standings so much midseason

-Vikes are not a 2 seed caliber team.
-Giants are not a playoff caliber team.
-49ers are much better than their record
-TB better than their record

You asked which one do you trust from all the rankings, and I trust the standings today more than I trust any of the rankings.

You are what you are. You may not be that at the end of the season, but for now, you are what you are and the standings reflect that.

So, following your logic (standings best reflect what you are)... you are on record saying:
-You'd rather face the Bucs than the Giants
and
-You'd rather face the Vikings than the 49ers

Vegas sure doesn't think the standings tell the real story.

All I want to know is how many NFC teams made the top five, in any of those rankings? Because we don't have to worry about the AFC teams until...the SB.

8-3, 2nd place in the NFCE.

Frankly all things being equal I think the Cowboys and 49ers are the two best teams in the NFC. Both have really good defenses, both can run the rock. Weird to think that neither of them might win their divisions. I think in last year's matchup the Cowboys RB1 and LT1 being gimpy and the QB lacking confidence in the calf in his plant foot tipped the scales in favor of the 49ers. Hopefully the football gods grant the Cowboys better health if there is a rematch.

Damn! You on @T-RO side or @Reality side?

Rankings are cool, coaches look at standings. At least in pro sports.

 

[Creeper]

They are all just some guy's opinion. It's just a bunch of malarkey. It's a way some of these guys stay relevant.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

I’d still put the 9ers and Bucs in front of Dallas. We haven’t proven we can beat those teams. Considering we blew out Minny, I’d say we should certainly be ahead of them. 6 or 7 is fair so these rankings seem to flatter us a bit.
