I generally like what he has to say, but for any writer or broadcaster, no one will ever totally agree with a Top-10 or Top-"anything" list. Overall, it's pretty good, but my biggest gripe (surprisingly) is to me, the Panthers are not a Top-10 team right now. I don't care what they look like on paper, because that means nothing. To King's defense, it's slow this time of year, and it provides me fodder to write about, too. Last year was a pretty exciting season. Especially for teams like the Jets, Saints, Bengals, Broncos, and the Texans to an extent. Yeah, Peter King uses a pretty good approach.

It seems most people just post a list of how the teams ranked at the end of last year with only one or two teams moving significantly (such as the Redskins moving up 10 spots b/c they signed McNabb, or the Cardinals moving down 10 spots b/c Kurt Warner retired). At least Peter King recognizes that only about half the teams that made the playoffs last year will probably make it back this year. From there he tries to figure out what teams might move in or out of those spots. After all, who would have predicted Cincinatti would make the playoffs last year coming off of a 4 win season, that the Saints would win the Superbowl after two consecutive non-playoff years, that the Steelers would follow up their Superbowl win out of the playoffs, etc. I like Peter King’s approach to these Power Rankings.
