It was a marketing thing in the 70's propelled by their enormously popular cheerleaders.
I will look for a more definitive answer.
I think the label 'America's Team' is stupid though. The NFL is so popular because each City/region has someone to cheer for or Hate. The Cowboys may be popular, but 'America's Team' is just something to sell t-shirts.
I am so uninterested in the 'serious' power rankings. Really, who cares! That's why we have playoffs!
This ain't college!
