Business Insider 23 CBS Sports 24 Bleacher Report 26 Sports Illustrated 24 (ten voters in that one) So we almost win at Seattle, hold them to 12 first downs and 233 yards while our offense racks up 429 yards and ESPN only moves us up one spot from 28 to 27. Cleveland gets their asses kicked, AT HOME, BY THE TITANS and they are still ranked 17th Pittsburgh got totally crushed at New England (ok, not the Titans) and are still ranked 16th.

Duluoz Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Power Rankings are nice to look at when your team's at least in the upper half, but bottom line they don't mean crap. If Cinci can play the rest of the season the way it did at Seattle I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esjbh2 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Yeah, while that does suck, especially in regards to the superbowl champion Browns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 ESPN+ is a great resource for international football. Otherwise, whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeds Orange Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 I assume they're only going to move teams up or down a certain number of spots in a given week, and who knows, the Stealers and Stains outcomes this past week may prove to be anomalies. However, keeping the Bengals at #27 is just stubborn and stupid. And it's not that they don't respect the team that they almost beat on their own field -- the moved the Chickens up from #15 to #11. Apparently beating the Bengals at home was worthy of a significant jump up, yet the Bengals get no respect with their own ranking. So, which is it? if the Bengals are that bad, then why move Seattle up for beating them by 1 at home? If Seattle's that great, then why not reward the Bengals? Oh, well, these things are nothing more than click bait anyway, but I'm as guilty as anyone else for looking at them. It's kinda like reading the tabloid covers while standing in the checkout line. You know it's bullshit, but you're curious anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluoz Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hey, if it makes you feel any better, one of the most respected sports names in the business, Business Insider, has our Bengals ranked 23.
