Default NFL.com asks 200,000 fans to rank all 32 teams - Patriots a surprise at #1

I thought with all the hate the other fans have for this team I think it was a surprise to still see the majority of the fans of about 200,000 voters to rank New England at #1

Buffalo was next in the East but the fans ranked them way down at #23? - I think thats a bit low,I do not think there is a large a gap like #1 to #23 in the East,I would rank Buffalo somewhere around 16 or so.

It just goes to show that not all NFL fans are blind homers and pick a team they like over one thats clearly a better team. I personally like to think that the defending superbowl champs should be number one in the rankings until they get dethroned, I also feel that way about college ball too. Though realistically the Giants shouldn't be considered number one as far as talent goes. I thought that the Browns and the Vikings may have been ranked a bit high. I think the Steelers at number seven is about right though I think they will be better than that by years end.

With the apparent hardest schedule possibly seen for years (at least on paper) that the Steelers must go through this year you should be happy to see them 8-8 this year.

While I dont think I could ever be happy with an 8-8 record, its definitley a possibility that they have a bit of a rough year this year, I am excited about all the weapons we have coming together on offense. Our passing is starting to look like it could/will be one of the best in the NFL. Our defense should be good again especially at LB. Of course there are always the skeptics of our O-line, but I think that just having sean mahan on the bench is a vast improvement from last season I'm thinking 9-7 is the worse that we do this year, but I'm thinking 11-5 and a divisional title.

I thought the Steelers had a great draft. Mendenhall and Sweed.
Given Parker's size and coming off an injury. Mendenhall should be
a perfect complement. Sweed could be that tall receiver Rothliesberger
is looking for and an eventual replacement for H.Ward.

Thanks for posting this...it really put a smile on my face. I think the list is pretty dead-on minus a few minor stretches here and there ( most notably Minnesota and NO at 10 and 13) and some shuffles I'd personally make in 2-5. Eventually the truth comes out.

Well, some people do accuse Pats fans of being arrogant, and I guess there must be some truth to it, because no one really cares if you are man enough to admit it or not. It's there regardless.

Colts are ranked too high. Didn't the Chargers kick the Colts ass on their home field when it mattered? The Giants also have to be ranked above the Cowboys.
