2015 NFL power rankings: Seahawks stay on top

[TwoDeep3]

With the NFL Draft in the books and free agency nearly complete, it's time to take another stab at ranking the 32 NFL teams. There won't be any meaningful games for another four months, but it's never too early to start analyzing which teams got better or worse now that the offseason roster movement is largely done.

There are few surprises at the top of the list, with the four teams that played in the conference championship games last year -- the Seahawks, Packers, Patriots and Colts -- each ranking in the top five of the majority of the polls.

I feel like I constantly live in an alternate dimension where I'm the only person who thinks the Colts and Andrew Luck at this point in his career are really, really overrated and I do not know why.

Did anyone who did the poll look at the Cowboys Colts game????

Because they are. Andrew Luck throws A LOT of picks. Brutal ones, too.

if you toss stupid USA today and fill it in with the average, we would be tied for 5th.

last year, 40 TD, 16 INT...ya, thats overrated.....not.

 

[SHAMSzy]

So um.. USA Today ranked the Saints, Rams and Vikings better than the Cowboys right now?.. Heh..

Yeah, the comparison chart clearly exposes the USA Today list for the joke that it is.

The colts are probably the worst team in the division without Andrew Luck. He can elevate their play, but ultimately they are not going to beat good teams... Ala the Cowboys with Romo between 2010-2013.

I just don't see the Broncos as stronger than the Cowboys. The Cards-barely,by virtue of their defense. The Colts made the top 4 by default, coming from the weaker conference and an even weaker division. If they get a legitimate running game, look out.

You are not the only person, my friend.

We beat that team down last year and hung 40 points on their soft defense. That's exactly what they are, soft.

If it helps, you're not the only one.

LOL at people thinking demarco was our whole team.

But he is still the golden boy according to the media

No, you are not the only one.

Of course! Gotta slurp something.

I guess they are looking at the fact they didn't have TY Hilton???? *shrugs*

 

[cajuncocoa]

Our ranking on USA Today looks pretty stupid compared with all the others. Just sayin'

Yes, USA probably saying, "wait, did we miss something?" It really does stand out..embarrassing. Seriously, I have to believe they did this just to get clicks.

I was just about to compare the Colts and Luck to Romo and the Cowboys. Luck has way too many attempts and interceptions behind a mediocre offensive line and defense. He also has a rediculous number of 4th quarter comebacks. The guy single handedly carries his team to victories at time but he also losses them at times as well. He reminds me of early Romo with more "talent."

To your point though, the Cowboys would have made the playoffs the years you listed had they been in the AFC south.
