Yes I'm aware that power rankings mean nothing at all. But seeing as ESPN's power rankings are made from their power panel of 80 writers and TV personalities I find this weeks power rankings absolutely hilarious. This isn't a dog on where they rank the Steelers, this is a dog on the entire list.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings/_/year/2015/week/7

here's a quick rundown tho...

The Broncos (6-0) move up after needing OT to beat the 27th ranked Browns
The Cardinals (4-2) move up two spots to 4 after losing to the Steelers
The Bengals (6-0) remain after beating Buffalo
The Eagles (3-3) jump six spots after turning the ball over 4 times in one game, incidentally that's one more than the Steelers have given the ball up all year long.
The Steelers (4-2) drop a spot after beating the 4th ranked team?
The Colts (3-3) move up two spots after dropping ANOTHER game to the Patriots
The Chargers (2-4) move up after losing to the Packers
and last but not least...
The Cowboys (2-3) move up 2 spots on their bye week

I couldn't help but laugh at the entire list. They FINALLY dropped Seattle out of the top 10, and that is about the only thing they did right. I am clearly in the wrong line of work...
 
Crack is whack... But hey, they have us talking about their meaningless rankings.
 
Wow....What a joke of a power poll. Not that I even follow them but that is one is just hilarious.
 
ESPN is more interested in promoting their political agenda these days, instead of focusing on quality sportscasting.
 
The rankings really don't mean ****. This isnt college where they use a BS poll to slot in the top teams
 
I know the rankings mean nothing but this is still a horrible list
 
Wow that is a joke. Guess the Cowboys could take the rest of year off and they would eventually hit #1.
 
It's pretty crazy that after 6 weeks, there's only 9 teams with a winning record. Very top heavy league this year since there are still so many unbeaten teams. There's still no excuse for the Cards to be in the top 5 over the Bengals, Panthers and Steelers. And the Eagles jumping the Steelers is just laughable.

The Falcons are mediocre in my opinion...they've beaten the entire NFC East which is just a mess right now and lost to a below average Saints team. The Jets still have to play the Pats twice yet. We are 1 Scobee FG from 5-1 and still gave the Pats the best game of the season so far without 2 huge offensive weapons who were suspended. We can all laugh at the Ravens at 28 and SHOULD be the leagues only winless team

I go:
1. Pats*
2. Packers
3. Bengals
4. Broncos (only bc of their D)
5. Panthers
6. Steelers
7. Jets
8. Cards
9. Falcons
10. Colts
11. Eagles
 
Take power rankings in one hand, then **** in the other.....see which one fills up faster......





Salute the nation
