Hawks #4...KC #1
Yea. KC. COLTS, BRONCOS, HAWKSJoey13091":3fjzu40q said:I'm guessing they got Broncos and Colts ahead of us.
I feel like we don't deserve #1 until we put together two consecutive largely-mistake-free games. What's the "odometer" think about that?Tech Worlds":1iy3sj85 said:Tech Worlds power rankings have the Seahawks in at #1.
All you need to know.
If KC played our schedule or the Coltss or Whiners' scedule, they'd probably be 4-3 or 5-2 if they got lucky. No way the Chiefs are anywhere close to the most powerful team in football.Smelly McUgly":18cvoit9 said:ESPN has us absurdly low. Also, the Chiefs being #1 is just terrible. On the other hand, Shutdown Corner has us at #1 and PFT has us at #2 (despite Florio kind of hating Richard Sherman and thus us by default in general). I'd say #2 is about right. It's us, the Saints, and the 49ers, basically. The Broncos aren't that good, and neither are the Chiefs or Colts. They are probably #4-#6.

Denver has some big problems on defense that need fixing. So I think they're downgraded to #3. The Colts lost Reggie and the Packers are injured everywhere. NE is still not very dominant but the Gronk will help. San Fran is playing incredible football right now. Dominant everywhere. We're struggling a little with the line, but I think we'll be fine in a few weeks.
Currently my power rankings are this...
1) San Fran
2) Seattle (tied with San Fran at top)
3) Denver
4) NO
5) Colts
6) Packers
7) NE
8) KC
and after that it get's pretty bad.

I have a hard time putting SF at #1 purely based on their record. We beat them. If anything, they need to win or surpass us in wins before I place them on a list higher than the Seattle Seahawks. If they do either of those things, I have no issue w/ them being higher in a power ranking.
NINEster":20hpfnbl said:That's fair but I'm willing to bet an inferior record and a loss to a common playoff opponent didn't stop you and many others from placing Seattle above sf after the season ended.
The team that goes farther in the playoffs is the better team.

I'm not sure how you make this argument.
SF gets blown out by SEA, blown out by INDY at home and plays a tight game at home vs. AZ.
SEA should have beat INDY on the road and looked better vs. AZ on the road. They are statistically better than SF on both offense and defense.
How in the world are these two teams equal?

As of now I'll concede that the Seahawks are a bit better than SF, but a good amount of that has to do with injuries and Seattle having a Better and more consistent identity now (although the latter gap IMHO is closing).
And while your analysis is logical , when applied to last year (sf beating GB and NE convincingly on the road vs sea doing it at home) and other shared opponents it was dismissed.
Look, we are all homers to an extent, let's not kid ourselves.
If there's something I need to see to convince me that the Seahawks are the undeniable best team in the NFC , I'd like to see them beat the 49ers at candlestick and finish at least .500 if not better on the road. Although the former is probably enough.
Lot of football left.
