1st ever SB Nation Power Rankings: 49ers in 9th place tie!

Everyone's a little down from the news of Manny Lawson's injury, so like any good entertainer, I'll try and distract you guys a little bit.

Since everybody else is doing it, the football sites here finally decided to debut the SB Nation Power Rankings. With some html help from The Sports Guru over at Mile High Report

I was able to compile league wide power rankings, which I present now for your viewing pleasure and debate. We received 18 total ballots and expect that number to rise in the coming weeks. I figure getting over half the sites is a pretty good turnout for this first week.

Basically, every team was ranked 1-32 and then there rank #'s were added up and divided by the total ballots (18) to get a rating. It's not the most scientific poll in the world, but it's fun and gives you an idea of things. For those curious, I voted the 49ers 13th. I love them and think they're going to be solid this year but based on the first two weeks I just couldn't rate them any higher.

So what do you think of the rankings? Who's too high and who's too low?
