It's an easy fix. They belong at the bottom. You could probably throw the top 5 in the BCS standings on that list ahead of Cleveland, tbh.

30. St. Louis Rams
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
32. Florida Gators
33. Texas Longhorns
34. Alabama Crimson Tide
35. Iowa Hawkeyes
36. Cincinnati Bearcats
37. Cleveland Browns

There. All better.

Haha. That's about right. I would say the Browns are the 4th best team in Ohio at this point.

I'd say you overrate the Browns. And I am still wondering how they managed to fluke a win over the Bills.

Granted 3-7 were pretty difficult to guage, I stand by my rankings.

The Patriots-Ravens game was very close and the Ravens even outgained the Patriots in yardage.

In the end, all three of the Ravens losses were against good teams and could have went either way. And while the Patriots certainly look good, one of their losses came against a team that got beat 30-7 last week by the Ravens.

First off, the Saints have played the tougher schedule and no one has really gotten close to beating them.

Secondly, the Colts have no rushing game.

Lastly, the Saints have a better turnover margin than the Colts.

Your first point isn't true, remember the dolphins game? But the saints are probably the better team still.

Thanks Qazox for making the Eagles top of the NFC East. It's inevitable! Remember last year how they went to the NFC championship game and nobody saw it coming? Same thing this year.

You mean the one where the Saints outscored the Dolphins by 26 points in the second half? I'm not sure Miami was ever close to winning that one, the just had the lead for a while.

As for the Eagles, I see Dallas taking both games from them this year, and Philly ends up 8-8.

By the end of the Dolphins game it wasnt even close...Now, Atlanta got close, but, Id say Atlanta is a better team than Miami, personally...

It would be close, but, Id still put my money on the Saints, as I think they have more weapons and are able to spread the ball around more, and run the ball better, imo...

Reggie Bust actually sucks total balls, I think...

He only had one good play for about 5 yards in that Miami game, yet the picture of him made the front page and the top story everywhere...

The rest of the time he is either hit in the backfield, or fumbling, or just not playing...Really, if we were going to keep a player just for name recognition, I think we shouldve cut Reggie, and kept Deuce, at least Deuce was cool...

Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell are where its at, but the national attention barely knows who they are, >:(

Totally agree about Drew Brees though, the man is the best QB in the League, and spends his own free time and money helping the City, cant be beat...

Ok, I was trying to tread lightly knowing where you're from. Agreed on Reggie and Pierre Thomas. I had him on my fantasy team last year. Total sleeper and totally blew up in a few games.
