ESPN 2009 Power Rankings (Training Camp) - Skins = 20th

oh come on guys, such rankings don't mean anything! neva loose hope! you know you are the best!

It seems like a lot of people are getting way too upset about the most subjective rating system ever. Who cares what the power rankings say? Especially now?

20th seems about right to me. The Skins are definitely a bottom 50% team but they are at the top end of the bottom.

20th is a tad low, but it's a pre training camp poll so who cares. Now after we whup the Giants in week one (I am gonna go on record now a 28-10 -including a DHall pick, a DT TD, and some other goodies too) we better be ranked much higher.

20th is about right IMO. I don't think we could be much higher than 15 at this point. Mark Shlereth said 8-8 at the beginning of last year because there were "too many questions." I think it's the same this year. RT & QB play, + JZ's progression as a head coach are some of the variables that at present are largely unknown.

I love JC & think he'll have a good year, but I can't blame the talking heads for playing it safe & predicting another middle of the pack season.

Yeah, i would guess 8-8 gets you about a 15 or 16. These are power rankings before preseason, before training camp. It's a little crazy if you ask me.

Glad to see you agree that the Redskins whooping y'all won't really count as an upset

Uh, since the NFL has an actual playoff in place, and not the BCS, I could give a damn about power rankings. As long as we're near the top of the standings, power rankings writers can pound sand.
