I have seen the Patriots ranked all over during the last couple of days and to be honest with you I don't have a problem with any of the rankings - I think the bottom line for me is, they haven't lost a regular season game yet....
Let them lose one regular season game and then we'll see where they are ranked. It's only going to take one horrible showing before people are jumping off that bandwagon saying that this is the real Patriots without Brady.
I could care less where the Bills are ranked, although the Wednesday power rankings are a definite guilty pleasure of mine and it does make me all giddy when they are ranked as high as they are. I have opinions of my own on my rankings and stuff about each team, just wish I got paid for writing it down.
Great initial post though, thanks for the insight.
