I'm a little surprised at how highly the Patriots are rated in a lot of these. I know that national media's "power rankings" aren't as important as, you know, standings, but since media perception of the Pats is occasionally a topic of discussion here, I thought I'd post some links:
ESPN, 10th:
NFL Power Rankings Week 1 - National Football League - ESPN
National Football Post, 6th:
NFP Power Rankings | National Football Post
Prisco/CBS, 7th:
NFL Power Rankings: Start of a silver-black revival? - NFL - CBSSports.com Football
PFT, 8th:
PFT's Week Zero Power Rankings | ProFootballTalk.com
I think basically they're giving the Pats benefit of the doubt because of Brady and Belichick; I also think a lot of these are prepared to drop NE fast if they start slowly.
