2010 NFL Blogpoll Week 6
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.
- The AFC now holds the top 5 sports. Oddly enough there is a pack of 4 NFC teams trying to break into the top 5.
- The last 3 weeks more than 5 teams all got first place votes. This week first place votes were only limited to 4 teams.
- Its a poor year for the western divisions. Both the AFC West and NFC West don't have a team in the top 12 and 7 of the 8 teams are in the bottom half of our rankings.
- Powerful wildcards this year for the AFC? Our top 4 teams all hail from the same 2 divisions. If our rankings held for the season, you'd see two of the top teams in the NFL lose their division and have to play all their playoff games on the road.
Without further ado.....
