Power Rankings Archives - Most NFL power rankings bounce teams all over
because they disregard strength of schedule, or over-emphasize the most recent game played;
giving too much credit for a single blowout of a low ranked team,
and not enough credit for a close loss to a
high ranked team.
At FootballLOCKS.com we dubbed that {{unstable power ranking syndrome}}.
Historical NFL power ratings at FootballLOCKS.com payed close attention to
strength of opponents played without over-crediting the last
game played (that was too fresh on the mind of many writers);
all in a quest to deliver you with a weekly NFL power ranking that
reflected the power of each team, and not just their record.
For a team to crack the top 10 in FootballLOCKS.com's NFL football rankings, they had to earn it
with more than a single crushing of a bottom ranked squad-- as you'll discover when reading through the archives.
NFL Playoff Power Rankings After AFC & NFC Conference Championship Games, 2009
Ranking NFL Prior to Super Bowl XLIII (43)
NFL Playoff Power Ratings - 1/30/2009
Defense wins championships. And the mighty Steelers are one win away after their AFC championship
game victory over the Ravens-- their
3rd win over Baltimore this season which in itself should almost be worthy of being crowned the champs...
As the Steelers head into Super Bowl XLIII against the Cardinals they must be thinking a little about
last season's week 4 loss in Arizona.
2/6
Cardinals
12-7†
There's nothing like a postseason 3 game winning streak unless you started playing in the wild
card round and can't get win number 4. The Cardinals peaked at the right time this season
and will face the Steelers in SUper Bowl XLIII after defeating the Eagles in the NFC championship game...
Arizona and Pittsburgh met last season in Arizona
with the Cardinals winning. In that game Leinart and Warner both suited up.
3/1
Eagles
11-7-1†
The Eagles had quite the up and down season with a near remarkable finish thanks to
their incredible second half of the season, but they
fell at Arizona in the NFC championship game.
4/5
Ravens
13-6†
Once, twice, three times another loss to the Steelers. Oh what could have
been for this surprise team in the AFC if they only could have figured out a way
to get past Pittsburgh.
