-Previous week’s rankings in parenthesis;

I Got no Clue, Folks. I’ve never created a power ranking in any sport at any time that felt as pointless as this one. I have no idea who is better than anyone else. My new number 1 is Baltimore, and that’s logical enough, as they just knocked off my previous #1 team on the road. The Patriots made the biggest move up my rankings this week, climbing 5 spots from #9 to #4. 3 different teams plunged 6 spots in my power rankings this week. The Dolphins dropped 6 spots from 12th to 18th after their embarrassing performance at home on Monday night against the Pats. I dropped the Bears 6 spots from 13th to 19th after they were body slammed back to Earth by the Giants on Sunday night. The Seahawks plummeted 6 spots from 21st to 27th after losing to St. Louis. I’m not going to get any further into these rankings because from 1 to 32 you might as well flip a coin. Parity has officially erased the distinguishable difference between the worst and best teams in the NFL.
