Pre-training camp NFL Power Rankings: Rams on top, so where are the rival Seahawks?
The Rams claim the No. 1 spot in the NFL’s preseason power rankings, sparking fresh debate over the Seahawks’ standing before training camp.
What happened
The Rams are listed as the No. 1 team in the NFL’s preseason power rankings released as training camp begins. By positioning the Rams at the summit, the list creates a reference point for teams aiming to climb the ladder before the regular season. Fox Sports, USA Today, Bleacher Report, Yahoo Sports and The New York Times all issued the rankings, and the Times headline asks where the rival Seahawks land.
Bleacher Report paired the list with over‑under win projections for every club, while Yahoo Sports highlighted the Chiefs and Eagles as teams needing a bounce‑back. Training camps will run through August, followed by a slate of preseason games that will test the projections. Observers will track how the Seahawks adjust, with a second power‑ranking update anticipated after the first week of preseason play.
The next set of over‑under predictions and any movement in the rankings will provide a clearer picture of which teams can translate preseason promise into regular‑season success.
