2010 NFL Blogpoll Week 15
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.
- Out of the 6 teams that are 10-4, 5 of them recieved a vote for third place (everyone except the Bears) Ranking these teams was a real challenge as 3-7 were packed in very tight.
- Once again the top ten is an even split between the AFC and NFC.
- The voters continue to snub the Chiefs as three teams with a worse record are ahead of them in the rankings.
- Teams 18-24 from last week's rankings all lost making it a question of "who lost the most impressively" in terms of changing their order this week.
- Last week the Patriots had all the first place votes. This time around the Falcons nabbed a vote.
Without further ado.....
