More power rankings in June
Understand this right now: These are wrong. By the end of September, nobody’s NFL power rankings will look anything like this. That is how the NFL works in the 21st century.
The most wrong item up there? The Seattle Seahawks at #1. Name the last Super Bowl loser that made the playoffs the following year. It’s been a little while. Clayton, Pasquarelli & Co. seem to have conveniently forgotten that. Sure, the NFC West still sucks, but there is a history of hangovers at work here, and Eddie George isn’t walking through that door anytime soon. (Considering Shaun Alexander is on the cover of Madden 07, the Seahawks may end up with Eddie George before it’s over.)
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Don’t show me power rankings until after Week 1. Then we’ll talk. In the meantime, how about another fascinating Ricky Williams round-up, ESPN?

damned straight those rankings are wrong. i fail to see how the jets will be worse than the texans or bills. better o-line, got rid of truly awful head coach, and will likely have a healthy qb. also can’t understand how skins finished last year in top 4, added talent, adn are now at number 9
