The Ravens were ranked 7th in the recent 2015 NFL Power Ranking done on SBNation, behind 3 other AFC teams in New England, Indianapolis, and Denver. While there is no rationale given for this ranking, it does show a fair amount of respect. In years past, the Ravens have generally found themselves in the 8-15 range, so this is not that far off.
