I don’t have a problem with the ranking, 5 is about as high as I’d expect at this point. It was more a lack of knowledge about our players and the conclusions he made based on flawed understanding that got me.Not sold on his justification, but I have no issue with having us at #5. In fact, that's a bit of a shock.
I haven't looked The Athletic but I'd imagine they got us in the #12-15 range.
I don't mind writers having a take going into the season, and slowly adjusting to reality. I actually appreciate them standing by their take and not just ping-ponging teams based on their record because of well.. their record. Otherwise, why bother with a power ranking? Just look at the standings!
