2010 NFL Power Rankings: Week 14 ESPN

What I find hypocritical is that Mike Sando thought it was unfair that the Saints were ranked ahead of the Falcons two months after the Falcons beat the Saints in overtime by 3 points. That same Mike Sando and others continue to vote the Steelers who lost by 10 points to the Saints ahead of them.

Another reason why rankings do not matter. And, no, rankings should not be based solely on record or head-to-head matchups. But if that is the rationale that is given, then that is the rationale that should be followed even when it does not convenience the analyst(s) who posited that sort of reasoning as the basis for his or her rankings.
