2010 Final NFL Blogpoll
Every week our bloggers will rank all 32 NFL teams from top to bottom. Before we get to this weeks rankings, here are some things that stood out.
- Quite the race for second place. The Falcons, Saints, and Steelers all got 3 votes for second place, third place, and fourth place a piece.
- While the NFC had a good run after a slow start they've now yielded the balance of the top 10 to the AFC who has 6 of the 10 teams after a gridlocked 5-5 for the latter half of the season.
- Voters are putting faith in Peyton Manning by putting the 9-6 Colts ahead of two 10-5 teams.
- Half of our top 6 are made up of teams that didn't make the playoffs last year. A glimmer of hope if you're team is farther down in these finals rankings.
- The Patriots finish the year with 6 straight weeks at the top, a new record for us as last year the Colts and Saints changed position several times and this year was a crazy race early on
Without further ado.....
