I guess cowboys will be #1 in espn power ranking tomorrow

[JPTEXAS]

what do you think?

 

[Real1st]

Some how we will be number 2 or 3.

You know how ESPN rolls. Their love affair with the AFC

 

[YosemiteSam]

Nah, the Eagles will be #1. Or the Giants. Never the Cowboys.

 

[theogt]

You'd think so, but I wouldn't be surprised with ...

1. Pittsburgh
2. Philadelphia
3. Dallas

 

[LeonDixson]

Philthy has a legitimate claim to the title, week 1. Or at least a legitimate argument can be made for them. We certainly qualify too if both offense and defense are taken into account.

 

[TD22]

It does not matter who is #1 after Week one........

The Cowboys will be #1 after the Super Bowl!!!!!!!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

You'd think so, but I wouldn't be surprised with ...

1. Pittsburgh
2. Philadelphia
3. Dallas

Actually I wouldn't be shocked at all, if that is how it goes down.

 

[jterrell]

1. Pitt
2. Dallas
3. Philly
4. Saints
5. Carolina

is my early guess....

could change after tonight's game.

 

[Brandon4Cowboys]

You'd think so, but I wouldn't be surprised with ...

1. Pittsburgh
2. Philadelphia
3. Dallas

I think the fact that Pukesburgh had an awful team in Houston @ home whilst the Cowboys played a tougher team on the road will factor in. But nothing is surprising when it comes to ESPN. They could move the Saints up just b/c of the Gustav factor.

 

[J-Skip]

With last year's final rankings and the final scores from yesterday(including injuries), you'd expect the Cowboys to be #1, but our next week's opponent, Philadelphia, sure looked sharp on offense, defense and special teams return/coverage. "East Coast Media Bias" may have something to say about whether or not the Cowboys will claim their rightful #1 ranking(in my opinion).

 

[Bungarian]

Power rankings are a waste of time.

 

[Dwight]

Power rankings are a waste of time.

I was just about to say that. What matters is what Dallas does in the end. The Giants are a perfect example.

Rick Gosselin's NFL rankings


10:55 AM CDT on Monday, September 8, 2008


Rank, team, prev.


1. Dallas, 3

The Cowboys overwhelmed a good Cleveland team, handing the Browns their first home loss in seven games. Tony Romo, Marion Barber, Terrell Owens and Jason Witten manhandle teams with any defensive deficiencies.

2. Pittsburgh, 6

3. Philadelphia, 7

4. NY Giants, 8


5. New England, 1

If NFL MVP Tom Brady is gone for the season with a knee injury, the swagger is gone from the Patriots. New England still may win the division with Matt Cassel, but that's probably where the 2008 aspirations end.

6. Indianapolis, 2

7. San Diego, 4

8. New Orleans, 10

9. Minnesota, 12

10. Tennessee, 13

11. Green Bay, 15


12. Carolina, 20

DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart give Carolina a powerful 1-2 rushing punch – and the new-look Panthers controlled the ball for more than 32 minutes in the season-opening upset of the Chargers in San Diego.

13. Chicago, 26

14. Buffalo, 17

15. Jacksonville, 5

16. Cleveland, 9

17. Seattle, 11

18. Tampa Bay, 14


19. Arizona, 22

Pro Bowl WR Anquan Boldin may want out of Arizona but on Sundays, he continues to play his tail off for the Cardinals. Boldin caught eight passes for 82 yards to help power the Cardinals past the 49ers in the opener.

20. Denver, 23

21. Oakland, 24

22. NY Jets, 25

23. Baltimore, 30

24. Atlanta, 32

25. Kansas City, 27

26. Miami, 29

27. Houston, 19

28. Cincinnati, 16

29. Washington, 18

30. San Francisco, 31

31. Detroit, 21

32. St. Louis, 28

But the Dallas/Phily game could be a toss up so Pitt looks like a safe early leader. Especially with the Jags, Chargers and Colts losing while the Pats lost Brady. The Steelers could waltz in the AFC.

 

[Tovya]

I betcha they keep the Patriots on top and make some ridiculous prediction that Cassel is gonna be the guy who takes over for Brady like Brady did for Bledsoe and lead the Patriots to glory. Maybe not, but it'll be the same typical ESPN one way or another. :

 

[LongSnapper]

You'd think so, but I wouldn't be surprised with ...

1. Pittsburgh
2. Philadelphia
3. Dallas

Maybe but I have put a double down on who will be ranked #1 next week:starspin

 

[Doomsday]

The NFC has to get its due they went 3-1 vs the AFC with wins over two of the top 3 teams in the AFC.

 

[BigDinAZ]

Bad teams make OK teams look great...

Pittsburgh beat a struggling Texans team, and the Iggles beat the Rams... Who the heck are the Rams???????

My prediction:

1. Dallas
2. Pittsburgh
3. Giants (Superbowl Factor)
4. Eagles

Thats pure B.S. IMO

They dominated the games and they won games they were supposed to.
