Ultimate power rankings put Colts behind Ravens
I know there is a complex formula at the root of Page 2's Ultimate NFL Power Rankings, a list that puts all 32 teams in context since the 1970 merger.
In virtually any list that factors in longevity or tradition, the AFC South doesn't stand out.
Two expansion teams and two relocated teams don't usually score high in criteria that put you in the top 10 of such things. You either haven't been around long enough, or things were bad enough that you skipped town.
Still, it's a little tough to see the Colts (16) ranked a spot behind the Ravens, who replaced them in Baltimore.
The AFC South's rankings:
16) Colts
17) Titans
20) Jaguars
30) Texans
Some interesting stuff on the Jags:
Jacksonville ranks ninth in the NFL in winning percentage since 1970, and its five postseason wins in 13 seasons trump the totals of five teams (Browns, Chiefs, Cardinals, Lions and Saints) that have been in the league since 1970.
