I have said before that I hate off-season power rankings and all that nonsense. SI.com's Don Banks has come up with a good one, though, ranking the performance of all 32 NFL teams in the past decade.
Not surprisingly, the New England Patriots, with three Super Bowl titles to their credit, are No. 1 on Banks' list.
Our New York Giants are fifth, according to Banks, behind New England, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and Philadelphia. You can argue about the Philly ranking, since the Eagles have not won a Super Bowl this decade. The Eagles, though, have 10 playoff victories -- topped only by the 14 amassed by the Patriots. So, I can understand the choice.
Your thoughts?
