Irrelevant power ranking nonsense

[benskins26]

We haven't had a good old fashioned power ranking ***** fest in a while(mostly because who could argue with us being 25+ the last few years), and I know they are completely irrelevant, but could someone please explain to me Pete Prisco's rankings this week?

Cowboys, up 4 spots to 12 after trailing a sliding cincy team the entire game. Skins DOWN a spot to 15? Are these rankings based on popular opinion? Or other factors like is rg3 playing? (Only thing the blurb says about us). This just makes absolutely zero sense.

It was written by Pete Prisco. He's a huge Skins hater.

he's full of <staff edit rule 6 violation--normally one week ban> I say we #10

LMAO, the cowboys, in the 12 spot up 4 and we actually drop down to the 15th spot? hey Pete just three weeks ago we beat them in their house by a TD (could have been two TDs) and you telling me they have surpassed up since then? You know we also beat the Giants and the Ravens right? LOL

[Rpredskins]

Yeah that makes zero sense. We beat them. Our win streak is longer. We beat a better team on Sunday. And our remaining schedule is easier. No matter which way you approach power rankings there is no reason for Dallas to be ahead. But whatever. I think #14 is the right spot, although the Bears are about to plummet if they lose again. Same with the Giants.

[RansomthePasserby]

Hahaha! Only the Redskins would lose a spot after beating a 9-3 team. Not that it means anything.

[Burgold]

I suspect it has to do with Griffin being hurt. That would hurt our "power" rankings. However, Dallas' rise is a bit silly.

[Son of Gadsden]

Let's be honest, almost every sports writer/commentator/analyst/reporter has a favorite team and a bias.

They all grew up as kids watching a team, well, I assume most didn't just get into football and decide to report on it when they were in their 20's.

Like Republicans and Democrats, almost all of them say they aren't biased, and that they just state the truth and the facts, while nothing could be further from the truth.

But if they come out and say the truth, no one would listen to them because they'd figure, eh, it's just another homer.

Oh, politics, is there anything you can't **** up?

But whatever. I think #14 is the right spot, although the Bears are about to plummet if they lose again.

Well, we just moved down to the 15 spot.

This is the second time Prisco has moved us down after a win. And he moved us down during our bye week too. Guy just doesn't like us.

[JMUSkins]

Know what's better than power rankings? Actually winning.... which we are doing.

[HA1LV1CT0RY]

I just threw up on myself

[santanathegreat]

If he's dropping the Skins a rank because of a potential injury (which is stupid, mind you), shouldn't the Cowboys drop because of a potential season-ending injury to Dex Bryant?

I'm just sayin...

[Riggo#44]

One of the comments hit the nail on the head: "I don't know how Prisco even takes himself seriously!" This guy is like that homer-fan friend that refuses, just refuses, to give ANY credit, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. He is a joke, and should just be ignored.

[Blue Collar Skins]

Pete Prisco....enough said.

I suspect it has to do with Griffin being hurt. That would hurt our "power" rankings. However, Dallas' rise is a bit silly.

We just beat the #7 Giants, #8 Ravens, and #12 Cowboys three weeks in a row, and he drops us to #15? You'd think the halfwit would explicitly say Griffin being out is the cause if it was his reasoning. What a twit that Prisco is.
