I honestly dont get why Mayo are ranking so highly...not trying to cause offence (il be shoutin for them against Galway) but apart from their steamroll over Roscommon, they've been very poor this year.

From what we have seen this year so far-the top three must rank with
Cork, Tyrone, Dublin

Hard to rank the rest, Galways game against Sligo was poor, equally hard to say about Mayo as their game against Roscommon did not truly challenge them. Kildare, Limerick and Antrim I wouldn't expect to win the provinsional but it sure would throw a spanner in the works.

Outside this obvious ranking according to wins and form in the championship so far, I would say that its early days yet and I expect Tyrone to improve further-they are showing all the signs of getting better and better and we may also see a few teams from the qualifiers moving quickly up the ranks, possibly Kerry if they find form and reduce the injury load and Armagh. Derry could do it too if they find form but are not showing signs at the moment.

Tyrone and Cork are above everyone else!

...........After that, its wide-open

FACT!!

1. Cork (as of Now the best team)
2. Tyrone (work to do but time and space to do so)
3. Kerry (work to do but in the back door minefield)
4. Dublin (you can't dismiss the quantity and quality of scores against Westmeath)
5. Armagh (rebuild may be nearing completion?)
6. Derry (Suspensions & injuries continues to leave Derry vulnerable)
7. Mayo (possibly better, but until they have played a quality team - who can judge)

I agree with most of what you said except for your Dublin point. Dublin cant be judged untill they play a team of Quality, Just like Mayo. Westmeath were even worse then Roscommon. Maybe Kildare will give them that test
