ESPN has an amazing ability to puts its finger on the pulse of the television viewer's interest. The all-sports network has created a mania with its recent NFL predictions and evaluations. Really, I think they could rank stadium bathrooms and people would get angry that their favorite stadium's toilets were disrespected.
I tip my hat to ESPN. The purpose of their business is to attract viewers and they sure know how to do it, even in the “Dead Zone.”
How do they do it? The answer is simple: They prey on the fans' mania for being number one. Rank 32 teams and the fans of 31 will be angry.
It's July and every team's fans think they've addressed all of last season's problems and winning is a foregone conclusion. How could ESPN not see it?
Jaguars fans are angry at ESPN for assigning the Jacksonville team the 19th spot in the network's league power rankings. My inbox, folks, has exploded with anger. Jaguars fans are furious at this blatant show of disrespect.
I could tell you it doesn't matter, and even though I'd be telling you the absolute truth, that fact isn't likely to calm you. Jacksonville never gets any national respect, right?

I like this article. Because preseason ESPN depth charts don't matter. All that does amtter is the games, and making the playoffs. Something Jacksonville can do this coming season.
