Team of the Decade 2010s
-
Some years ago I developed a system to determine which team could be designated the Team of the Decade in each sport. The team that wins the championship gets 10 pts. The team that loses gets 6 pts. The teams that lose the "semifinals" gets 3 pts, and any team that makes the playoff gets 1 point. Through the first 3 years of the 2010s decade here is the current standings of points accumulated by each team:
Ravens: 14 points
Packers: 13 points...plus get 1 pt. for this year
Giants: 10 points
Patriots: 10 points...plus can get either 3/6/10 more
49ers: 9 points...plus can get either 3/6/10 more
Steelers: 7 points
Falcons: 5 points
Bears: 3 points
Jets: 3 points
Broncos: 2 pts....plus can get 3/6/10 for this year
Seahawks: 2 pts....plus can get 3/6/10 this year
Saints: 2 pts....plus 1 pt. for this year
Colts: 2 pts...plus 1 for this year
Bengals 2 pts. plus 1 for this year
Texans: 2 pts
Eagles: 1 pt. plus 1 for this year
Chargers: 1 pt. plus 1 for this year
Chiefs: 1 pt. plus 1 for this year
Vikings: 1 point
Redskins: 1 pt.
Lions: 1 pt.
Panthers: -0- pts....but will get 1 for this year
There are 10 teams that will still have -0- pts. as they have not made the playoffs at in all the decade of the 2010s:
Raiders, Cardinals, Cowboys, Rams, Browns, Titans, Bucs, Dolphins, Jags, Bills
The Pats and the 49ers can take over the lead with a Super Bowl win....or even a SB appearance.
But, if both of them lose Sunday, the Ravens tied with the Packers will maintain the lead for another year.
The Seahawks and Broncos cannot quite make the lead even if they win the SB.
