Patriots Still Number 1

According to ESPN.com’s NFL Power Rankings, the Patriots are still the best team in the NFL.  The Pats have won all three of their games so far in extremely convincing fashion, and they have Cincinnati’s porous defense in their sights for this weekend. Those of us with Patriots on our fantasy football teams are smiling ear to ear this week, I can tell you that much.  Why do I get the funny feeling that I’ll be seeing the Patriots at the top of the Power Rankings for at least one more week?  It could be Tom Brady.  It could be Randy Moss.  It could be a defense that has yet to even let another team come remotely close to contending for a win.  Take your pick.

Would it really shock anyone if the Patriots ran the table at this point?  If they just went wire to wire unbeaten like they’re some sort of college football team, running up the score on lesser opponents just to garner more votes, would it really be that surprising?  Bill Bellichick is basically on a mission to show everyone he can win without cheating.  If he wins his fourth Super Bowl ring he’ll be tied with Chuck Knoll for most ever by a head coach.  No one can know yet just how far these Patriots can go.  One thing, however, is certain.  This is going to be a really fun season for Pats fans.
