Power Rankings

Anyone care?

I can understand why some people get into them (recognition from the national sports media, etc.), but I don’t much care for them.

 

The power rankings, for me, seem to be about the talking heads making themselves bigger than the sports they cover.

I do not disagree.  Sometimes it is fun to look, complain, or cheer on where your favorite teams falls on the list (and I cannot say I minded seeing the Patriots out of the top 10 😉 ) but ultimately, they mean little.

Just because I have never seen the Bills listed in this type of tweet before...

They do it as a time filler because talking about football for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week is arduous even for the most fervent person.  It's obviously low brow stuff but so are most sports radio/tv shows.

I’m glad to see The Bills getting some national attention that is very positive. Even better is that they really deserve it.

Nope,

According to this framed back page in my office Hell froze on October 20, 2004.

Sounds fair

I have to admit, I like the rankings. At least the ones that come with a narrative. Especially when opponents like the Jets and *Patriots suck.

This is, of course, true.

 

I simply loathe punditry and the culture it thrives in.

Don’t care either, but it’s still nice to see.

I'd say I'm amazed that people like Cowherd, Kellerman, Bayless, Bilas, etc have any audiences but then I go do something like stop at a gas station and have to deal with people...and it all comes into focus.
