Although the Giants are the defending champs, it can be argued that Dallas sports the league's biggest bull's-eye because the Cowboys are continually mentioned as being the best team in the league.

I'm sure teams want to beat the Giants, but they are using Dallas as the measuring stick.

Agreed

This guy must not take into account the quality of wins that the Cowboys and Giants have had.

The Cowboys won @Cle, vs. Philly, and @GB.
The Giants won vs. Was, @Stl, and vs. Cin

Basically they played the worst team in the east, the worst team in the league, and maybe the worst team in the AFC...barely. Give me a break.

The Giants needed overtime to beat the Bengals at home.

The Cowboys just smacked the Packers at Lambeau.

Nuff said.

That must have been Aikman who did the ranking for Fox. :)

I'd like to be the 3rd best team on the charts if you ask me. This way some of the attention can get off of us and on the other teams. But hey, we're the Cowboys and the world pays attention to us when we're even kinda good, so now that we're dynamic and awesome, the world can't get enough of us.

"We have a good football team," Romo said. "I know that. But it doesn't matter if you are the favorite now or the least favorite. The reality is, you have to keep playing games. You're not trying to be the favorite in Week Three. You're trying to be it at the end of the year. All we can do is try to control what we can do today and this week. Outside of that, we can't worry about the future and stuff that's gonna happen."

...What he said.

Not to get too worked up about this, we will get our crack at the g-men, but does anyone here not believe that if Brady was
playing and the pats were 3-0 that the writer would have found a justification to rank them first above the giants?

Power Rankings are funny. Especially 3 weeks into the season. I would rather Dallas not be on the top spot and not be the bullseye. We all know who is playing the best football so far. Until Dallas wins a playoff game, better yet a Superbowl, they could be in last place on that Power Ranking for all I care.
