Am I completely biased because I'm a fan or is there any validation to this?
You are definitely biased.As a Steelers fan we know who we have to contend with every year.Those teams usually include New England,Baltimore,Indy,San Diego,and the Titans.The only thing about the Titans is that you don't have a standout QB. He or they are not big names.You do have to realize that when my Steelers played the Cowboys in the Super Bowl a while back we had a no name guy called Neil O'Donnell. So anything can happen.

Well, you do have somewhat of a point. The bad thing is the Titans seem to always come up short. Playoffs, Superbowl, big rivalries. I like em and hope they do well this year, but until they win the big games nobody will name them as a serious contender.

Fox sports has them at 6:

NFL Power Rankings - Top 32 NFL Football Teams - FOX Sports on MSN

*******************

CBS sports has them at 7:

Power Rankings: Big arms give teams leg up on competition - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

*******************

NBCSports.com power rankings have them at 5:

Power Rankings- nbcsports.msnbc.com

*******************


I can not imagine why an 0-1 team would go much higher than that.

The Titans are my favorite team in the AFC, and I appreciate the fact they are flying under the radar and that no one's paying attention to them. Keep it up.

I didn't see those rankings. The highest I've seen them is 7th. I've seen them at 11, 12, and 7.

If I saw a consistent 7 I wouldn't have made this thread. I do believe however they are no doubt in the top 8 teams in the football league.

I'm biased and your telling me the Steelers are 6-10 seeds higher than them? Pittsburgh won the game, but I garuntee they don't want any part of Tennessee in the future.

He should have been wearing a Cowboys uniform that day.

He's not being biased. The Steelers are a better team than the Titans--just a fact--accept it. Yes, your team does give our team a hard time, but if your team is so much better then show me all your Lombardi's!

What? Can't do that? Sorry--you need to win the BIG games to say you are the better team!

Terry Bradshaw and Eddie George have NOTHING to do with the current season unless we are having an analyze-off
