ST. LOUIS — The Associated Press released its AP Pro32 poll this week in advance of the start of the regular season and the Rams are tied with the Atlanta Falcons for the 20th spot.
The Rams were ranked 17th in the preseason version of the poll, but that was before quarterback Sam Bradford suffered another season-ending knee injury and the team lost three of its four preseason games.
The poll is determined by the voting of 12 media members: Jenny Vrentas (Sports Illustrated), Tony Dungy (ESPN), Charean Williams (Fort Worth Star Telegram), Jeff Legwold (ESPN), Jim Miller (SiriusXM NFL Radio), Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News), Bob Glauber (Newsday), Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune), John Czarnecki (FOX Sports), Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com), Herm Edwards (ESPN) and Alex Marvez (FOXSports1/SiriusXM).
The voters had the Rams listed from as high as 17th to as low as 27th on their ballots.
Williams and Gosselin both had the Rams at 17. Marvez had St. Louis at 19. Miller, Czarnecki and Kirwan had the Rams at 20. Legwold, Kaufman and Edwards had the Rams at 21. Dungy had St. Louis at 23, while Vrentas had the Rams at 26 and Glauber had the Rams at 27.
