The one downside to your team being favored to win the Super Bowl is that it's much harder to have a chip on your shoulder. But at least one Patriots fan took issue with our latest power rankings, which were released yesterday.
"In keeping with the tradition of every fan thinking their team should be ranked higher, I'm disturbed and offended that you only ranked the Patriots No. 1
No. 1, really?! Come on, you're surely smarter than that. Shouldn't a new level be created to rank them higher than No. 1? Hopefully your posts throughout the season will be much more informed."
somewhat respectfully,

Good news, Patriots fans. I've been told that ESPN.com editors are holed up as we speak attempting to figure out a more appropriate ranking for your team. Stay tuned.
