ESPN today released its 2011 NFL Preseason Power Rankings, and it is pretty hard to argue with the placement of both the New York Jets and New York Giants.
↵The Jets, coming off consecutive AFC Championship Game defeats, are No. 7 in ESPN's rankings. he top six teams, in order are:
↵- ↵
- Green Bay ↵
- New England ↵
- Philadelphia ↵
- New Orleans ↵
- Pittsburgh ↵
- Atlanta ↵
You can quibble that maybe Rex Ryan's team could have moved up a spot or two, but No. 7 is pretty fair to the Jets.So is No. 11 for the Giants, really.
↵After a 10-6 season that saw them miss the playoffs for the second straight year, Tom Coughlin's team is ranked just behind San Diego and just in front of Tampa Bay -- which means that is just about right. The NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys are No. 16, if you are interested.
