Dallas Wins - Loses 2 spots in ESPN Power Rankings

[BALCO]

Can you hate more than BSPN does? I'm not saying we are top 10 but honestly...moving us down after a win. I'm beginning to feel this is a college football poll and you have to beat your opponent by 50 just to get respect. Does Clayton even watch football?

17 (15) Cowboys 2-1-0 Tashard Choice and Felix Jones prove the Cowboys can still have a running offense when Marion Barber is injured. (Clayton)

Why do people get so worked up about power rankings??

Now that's funny. :laugh2:

Now that's funny. :laugh2:

I love it. I wish they drop us everytime we win.

 

[Doomsday101]

They need to go to computer rankings like the BCS. :laugh2:

This is pretty sad and I’m not talking about where they have the Cowboys ranked but the overall rankings

I agree the rankings in Pro football are meaningless but when you see the rankings top to bottom you have to stop and think what are these guys thinking. The Pats are ranked 7th? have they been watching the games?

What bowl games are being offered to us?

Eagle bias. Hmmm....you've beat two terrible teams (ranked 30th and 32nd in these rankings) and get blown out by the only good team you've played, and you get ranked 9th. We beat their 25th and 31st teams, and barely lost to their #4 team....17th.

It all makes perfect sense. It's just filler, these guys aren't even thinking it through.

Okay, I can relate to that. I do examine them more for the comedy effect, and I don't get worked up over them. I remember one year, we were ranked 2nd place. Then we lost to a woeful Eagles team, and they put us at 31 the following week. It was the game with the Irvin neck injury.

The Cowboys beat a team they should have beaten and the final score wasn't indicative of how close a game it was.

As of yet this team hasn't played a complete game. Play a complete game and beat Denver on the road and you'll see a nice jump in the rankings.

We're better than about 5 or 6 teams they list ahead of us. And how do the Gimats get ranked that high after almost losing to what they consuder a #17 team especially with having 4 gift turnivers handed to them? Not only do the Giants need to be ranked lower, the Eagles should be ranked ahead of them and not too far ahead of us.

I don't get worked up over any of the media claims. I find it entertaining and have no issue when they poke fun at Dallas. I tend to get more PO'ed by our own fans than anything these guys say.

I agree with every team that is in front of us on that other than ****zburg... I have no problem with our ranking and like most really don't care about rankings and standings unless they are the one's that count...

 

[Achozen]

We're the worst 2-1 team in the league.

 

[TD-33]

I can guess just as well as they can. It means nothing 3 games in.

Here are some top teams;
Ravens
Steelers
Giants
Colts

Teams that could be top teams next week
Saints
Eagles
Jets
Chargers
Vikings
Green bay

The rest don't matter except that next week some could move up like;
Cowboys
Falcons
Patriots
etc...

See? Took seconds and wasn't hard at all. Hell I wasn't even biased unlike the "professionals"

I can't decided what is more ridiculous:

The Cowboys beat a team and go down in the ratings.

OR

The Commanders lose to the 32nd rated team (after squeaking by the 31st rated team in a 9-6 game) and go up in the rankings.

Which is more absurd?

You know you may be able to get a job at ESPN keep up the good work.

Dallas could win the Superbowl and still be #2.

I guess I'm still pissed by some of the comments during the pregame show yesterday. I know these polls are meaningless, just shows lack of respect for our team and the talent on this team.
