At long last, Conor and Gary arrive at the thrilling finale of their preseason power rankings countdown series. It’s time to reveal, indisputably, the four best teams in the NFL.

As usual, we will not reveal who the teams are in this episode description, but we will provide these clues from our conversations:

Also Team 4: The most controversial team of the countdown. Gary made Conor pick them to go 12–5.

Team 2: How will the longer season wear on them. Also, maybe it’s time for everyone to take a break, maybe a couple seasons off.

Also Team 2: Everyone wants to talk about the offense, but this might be the most talented defense in the NFL.

Team 1: Every season for the next decade will come down to what happens in January and February.

Plus, Conor introduces our latest sponsor, who may or may not exist, and may or may not actually be a sponsor... yet.
