NFL Power Rankings Week 17: Focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers

Doing power rankings are tough, but because of the limited number of games on an NFL schedule, it's one of the only ways to get an idea for which teams are better than one another given factors other than just their records. 

At my site—www.GuysNation.com—I do a weekly power ranking of all 32 NFL teams.  It's a hugely subjective process in which I account for a team's strength of schedule, margin of victory, good wins and bad losses.

Where do the Pittsburgh Steelers currently rank?

Sure, Pittsburgh defeated the Panthers by a lopsided margin in Week 16, but that's not really an impressive mark on the resume.  With the Saints' victory over Atlanta, some would say that the reigning Super Bowl Champs could easily leap frog Pittsburgh into the 4 spot.  The Ravens are also 11-4, and their victory in Week 16 was also over a subpar team.

How did the 11 win teams shake out?

For the complete rankings and analysis, check out the article on my website, www.GuysNation.com! Unlike Power Rankings you see elsewhere, your comments could help persuade me to rank your team better after Week 17!

You also will probably enjoy voicing your opinion through voting in nearly a dozen polls set up to help get people's feedback on the Power Rankings!
