Schefter has us at #4

Was just watching ESPN - Adam Schefter gave his ranking and we are #4. His comment: This is the team nobody wants to play against right now.

#1 - Denver
#2 - NE
#3 - Atlanta
#4 - Seattle

Personally I think we should be #2.

power ranking are so freaking stupid,

I think #4 is fair. Not sure NE should be at #2 after their last two games. I would move Atlanta up to 2 and put 9ers at 3, but as a division rival maybe I would not because it is what is expected.

Second best in the NFC. I will take it.

I'd put us at 3 - since DEN and ATL deserve #1 and #2. I don't think anyone in either league deserves #3 more than we would at this point.

but we already are the *ish* Don Aros :th2thumbs:

The AFC is weaker than the NFC. That alone should move up the 'Hawks. We have played a tough schedule as well

the top 3 spots should be NFC teams, the AFC simply can not compete against the Best of the NFC this year.

my rankings,
1. Seattle
2. San Fran
3. Green Bay
4. New England
5. Denver
6. Atlanta

My rankings.

1. Atlanta
2. Denver
3. Green Bay
4. Seattle
5. San Francisco
6. New England
7. Houston

How can anyone rank Atlanta low? Just because of a "feeling"? That team has been solid all year long winning close games.

Did he watch the Pats defense vs San Fran and Jacksonville?

So is QBR, but we all still eat it up.

Okay so what bowl game does this ranking get us?

The Irrelevant Rankings Bowl.

Seems that folks here just love "bathing" in the good feelings that come from seeing their team ranked high.

You think just like the mediots doing the power rankings at ESPN. They still have the niners ahead of the Seahawks too. I don't know why though, Seattle has 5 quality wins compared to the niners 3 and has won just as many games as the niners.

Now that we have a QB that ranks highly in QBR, it's a GREAT stat. But any stat that ranks Alex Smith as high as it does is still a questionable ranking system.

Hey Doc, why would you have the Digits ranked ahead of us, after we just dismantled them?

#1 Denver
#2 Atlanta
#3 Green Bay
#4 Seattle

IMO

Probably based on their entire season of work. They beat the Saints, Packers and Brady on the road. That carries weight in my mind. Upon further review it may not be a wise choice listening to the 9ers fans critique of their own team recent performances.

Bottom line, until I see the Seahawks dominating good teams on the road, I will have a skeptic sitting in the dark regions of my mind.
