Last week Donny Moore mentioned on Twitter that the top three rated teams in Madden 10 are the Steelers, Patriots, and Eagles. Certainly the Steelers coming off the Super Bowl win and the Patriots with Tom Brady back are the obvious choices. The Eagles got to the NFC Championship last year and had a great offseason so they make a lot of sense to be right there. The more I looked at other teams the more I realized they are justified to be third.
I believe that the Chargers could be included in that discussion. While I may not place them above either of those three I could see them settling in next or shortly after them. They finished last season strong, play in a relatively soft division, and have a returning Shawne Merriman. What teams do you think are worthy of consideration for being at the top of the rankings going into the 2009-2010 season?
