Although Buffalo is still in the mix at 6-6, I am counting them out. Here is mine: AFC Potential Playoff Team Rankings: 1. Pittsburgh Steelers 2. Indianapolis Colts 3. Tennessee Titans 4. New England Patriots 5. New York Jets 6. Denver Broncos 7. Baltimore Ravens 8. Miami Dolphins
1. Pittsburgh Steelers 2. Indianapolis Colts 3. New York Jets 4. New England Patriots 5. Tennessee Titans 6. Baltimore Ravens 7. Denver Broncos 8. Miami Dolphins However, if we play the Colts in the WC round @ the Meadowlands, we would win.
Steelers (Most complete team in the AFC) Titans (We beat them, but they have a better D and run game so far) Jets (When we show, we can beat teams like the Titans and Steelers. When we don't we can lose to teams like OAK) Ravens (When they are on they are this good, otherwise they aren't even contenders) Colts (If they ever played a complete complementary foot ball game, they would be elite) Pats (Cassell was anointed the next Brady too early by many) Broncos (They played a complete game against us, but their D is just too bad) Fins (they aren't there yet, but nobody can take away from their improvements)
I live near Baltimore, but never watch them play. Is their offense good now? I saw they scored 34 yesterday. If so, maybe the Jets should be worried to play this team.
1. Pittsburgh Steelers 2. Indianapolis Colts 3. New York Jets 4. Tennessee Titans 5. New England Patriots 6. Denver Broncos 7. Baltimore Ravens 8. Miami Dolphins (green goggles off)
I think the best thing about the Titans at the #1 seed is that any team can beat them. Well, not the Dolphins.

AFC Potential Playoff Team Rankings: 1. Pittsburgh Steelers Great defense, solid offense that has potential 2. Tennesse Titans Despite getting destroyed by the Jets, they have 1 loss. They are consistent 3. New York Jets I'm not jumping off the ship after 1 loss. I thought they were the best team in the AFC before yesterday but not today. Next week it could be different. 4. Indianapolis Colts Peyton Manning is why. There D isn't that good 5. Baltimore Ravens Great D, OK offense but improving. I still think people underrate them 6. Denver Broncos Dangerous offense with Cutler. He makes some amazing throws. Poor defense 7. New England Pats Still dangerous to the Jets but against a good AFC team I don't think they can win without Brady. 8. Miami Dolphins They have done a good job and I don't like to kill teams for weak schedules and I'm not going to in this case. I'm going to kill them for barely beating 3 weak teams. They beat Seattle and Oakland by scores of 23-21 and 17-15. They beat the Rams who lose by 4 TD's every week by 4 points. Beat the Bills in Buffalo and I'll start to consider them a threat because they have SF and KC and if they win the next 3 then game 17 vs the Jets will be for the division no matter what the Jets do.
1. Steelers (tough D and a QB who can win big games) 2. Colts (probably being generous here, but I think their best may be yet to come. Waiting for Manning and that offense to fire on all cylinders) 3. Titans (11 wins. Tough D. Great running game. Collins at the helm concerns me) 4. Jets (We have a stout D, good running game, and Favre can light it up if needed. I of course am more critical of my own team, and maybe that's why I notice their inconsistency more than the other teams) 5. Patriots (I don't get why this team continues to win with like 11th string players in there. But they're still the Pats) 6 (tie) Broncos, Ravens, Dolphins (I don't like any of these teams in the playoffs. Broncos D sucks and they're on their 12th string RBs. Ravens have Flacco leading them, which will eventually bite them in the playoffs. Dolphins are doing great with what they have, but I can't see them going deep in the playoffs)
Good work putting reasons with the team rankings guys. I will have to write one when I get back from class.
