How far will the Steelers drop?

They will be #1, I love the Steelers.

How far will the Steelers drop?

I dropped them all the way down to #6 this week...

[Dave Gray]

I think I had the Steelers at 9...but 6 is fair.

I voted them at #6 "now," but if I had to vote on where I think they'll be at the end of the season, they'd probably pop back into the top-3.  I just don't really share your pessimism on the Steelers.

I had them at 8 last week, and didn't think that their loss was worthy of a drop, because they lost to an elite team, however, they got drubbed pretty good and teams below them had been playing better.  I look at the Steelers and see a team that's gone a full month since their last convincing win.  I understand that winning close games matters, but I think that they haven't played like an elite team since Big Ben came back.

Their impressive wins came in the first couple of weeks and since then, I don't see the same team on the field.

If you had them at 8 then I agree, the loss ought not result in them dropping. But the overall poll had them at #1 last week, I expect some fall from that.  But not too far.  They lost to #3 and #2 also lost, so I would not be surprised if you are the low vote.
