Brandon's Positively Pointless Power Rankings Week 16

[Brandon]

Nice case for Carolina @ #1 though it still makes me a little uncomfortable. Add to the case that all of Carolina's losses have been to teams who are still in serious playoff contention while all of the Giants and Titans' haven't been.

If the Cats had their offense with the Steelers' defense, I would have NO QUALMS about making them #1 overall. It's actually much more fun for me to watch a dominant defense like theirs play than it is to watch a prolific passing offense.

A very good offense with one of the all-time best defenses? That would be instant SB right there.

i'm not going to mention the top because we'll never get people to agree there - but i'm fairly certain that the ravens are better than tampa and that miami belongs ahead of the patriots.

as a dolphin fan i would agree....but the pats laid into us a few weeks ago, and with the same record, it kills me to say....they belong ahead of us honestly....we beat the piss outve them in the begining of the season....

that seems so far away now though

The steelers offense is not as good as the panthers, obviously, but it's no slouch. Their passing game is clicking and their running game is above adequate. So in total, with their defense, I think they just edge out the panthers head-to-head.

I think they edge us out comfortably.
