Yes, everyone knows that.

Its the disrespect we're commenting on, not the fact that we may miss out on a BCS bowl.

OK, I'll keep in mind to immediately disregard your opinion when I see it, because saying the Patriots aren't a decent team is kind of laughable.

Guido FTW!

I would personally rather be disrespected and ignored and overlooked, fly under the radar all year long, quietly beating the pants off everybody...power rankings don't matter.

The main thing to remember is that, most of the pundits and the people who vote on these silly power rankings each week, they don't actually watch the games or the teams...they watch the same three or four national games on TV on Sunday, and the same highlights and same game breaks that all the rest of us watch, and then they vote for whatever they think is popular. Many of them go to the big games in person, so the actual amount of real football these jokers see on a given weekend, when they vote on their "power rankings," would probably shock you people if you knew how little it was. They don't know who the Saints are, they probably couldn't name four other Saint players besides Drew Brees.

See this is why Power Rankings are a pet peeve of mine.

Its ONE person's opinion it is worse than the BCS because at least there is a computer calculations and a system in place.

They also have NO PLACE in "GROWN MAN TACKLE FOOTBALL". Go watch the kids if you want Power Rannkings.

Here is my rankings:
NFC SOUTH
1. New Orleans - because they are 4-1
2. Tampa Bay - because they are 3-2
3. Atlanta - 2-3
4. who cares.

Not sure kids have power rankings chief.

And how is one person's opinion worse than a BCS ranking? Its not worse, BCS rankings mean something. One person's opinion doesn't.

I laugh at you guys who get all bent out of shape at ranking NFL teams. Its no different than any other opinion piece in sports media.

Would it make you more warm and fuzzy if it was titled "Here's my list of the best teams in the NFL, from best to worst"?

Get over it guys, they're opinions, and its OK to agree/disagree and discuss why they think team X is beter than team Y.

Do you guys not understand that these rankings (or lists) have nothing to do with who makes the playoffs and who doesn't? I'm beginning to wonder.

Power rankings are worse than masturbating a paraplegic.
