ESPN's Week 8 Power Rankings

As soon as the clowns start getting upset about where there team is ranked. Sometimes they have a valid argument. Or the writer of the article has clearly show his favorites.

Essential Beastmode is so correct. Its just self gratification and weird to watch, lol.

"Grown Man Tackle Football" is about win championships. Don't care how you're ranked in some "power ranking" might as well be a power bottom, lol.
Its sort of like helping everyone feel better by giving them a trophy for participating...

I don't see that at all. I see an opinion piece which is no different than every other sportwiter's opinion about a team. Its simply a big picture opinion about all 32 teams. I just don't see why you'd think P-R's are any different than any other article.

Not one single article by any sportswriter means anything more or less than a ranking, so basically every article about every team is therfore ghey... right?

In fact, posting your opinion on a website is just as meaningless as P-R's, right?

Question... If the only thing that matters in "Grown Man Tackle Football" is winning the Superbowl, why would you watch any of the "Grown Man Tackle Football" games leading up to it?

'ghey' is gay.

I never said anything about winning the super bowl I said winning championships and the game of football does matter that leads to winning the championships, division and what not.

Your record is the only thing that matters not your pool standings.

If it was a big picture kind of thing then KC would be over the Raiders? I mean if you want a pig picture of the 32 teams see it here: NFL Standings: Division

They want people to think the power rankings matter that's why they post them like "Week 8 Power rankings are out". It's silly really. Then everyone gets bent out of shape and has an argument while its wrong, when they really don't matter. They matter when the Super Bowl no longer exist and its the official BCS of the NFL.

I like your argument about the 'big picture' but there are wholes with it when they rank certain teams high than others that just beat them. Its not a big picture in that case.
