Week 6 POWER Rankings

From NFL.com, seem to be somewhat accurate from the other various websites i've been cruising, I like these for the most part.


Teams that look good enough to be among the 12 playoff qualifiers, but not based on conference.


1. New England Patriots 6-0 1 Ridiculously good.

2. Indianapolis Colts 5-0 2 Rested and ready for a Monday night showdown at Jacksonville.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers 4-1 3 The NFL's second-ranked rushing attack can't wait for a crack at the league's 32nd-ranked run defense.

4. Green Bay Packers 5-1 5 This team should feel very fortunate to only have one loss.

5. Dallas Cowboys 5-1 4 The Cowboys discovered first-hand just how wide the gap is between the Patriots and most everyone else.

6. Jacksonville Jaguars 4-1 7 Quietly, the Jaguars are moving toward elite status.

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-2 11 Jeff Garcia's revival continues.

8. Tennessee Titans 3-2 6 Defense carries the Titans, but Vince Young's health ultimately determines how far they go.

9. New York Giants 4-2 -- A steadily improving defense and a big-play offense have the Giants emerging as a force in the wide-open NFC.

10. Washington Redskins 3-2 8 It really wasn't all your fault, Santana.

11. Carolina 4-2 -- Forty-something quarterbacks everywhere are warming up their throwing arms.

12. Baltimore Ravens 4-2 -- Behind a young line, Kyle Boller can expect some serious heat at Buffalo.

I don't see how people are putting the Patriots before the Colts. Yeah, the Patriots are undefeated. So are we. We won the friggin Superbowl last year for God's sake. Oh, and let me remind you, we have beat the Patriots the last 3 times we've played them. 3-0. Assmunchers.

Yes, and we destroyed the Colts last year, actually, it was their last DEFEAT 44-17 and yet we're ranked behind you guys, so that gets counted out. None-the-less they're both great teams, but the Pats just worked the Cowboys, that's why they are holding the lead.

.... I wasn't even talking about Jacksonville. Why bring that game up? Of course you're going to be behind the Colts. We're 5-0 while you're 4-1... isn't that pretty obvious?

we have beat the Patriots the last 3 times we've played them

That's why I brought it up, what i'm saying is that previous years don't matter.

Actually, in this instance it does. Both the Patriots and Colts are undefeated. How do you decide who gets ranked higher? Why, the team that's beaten the other one. Derrrrr.

No, the record and caliber of the team's they've played, you go down each statistic and compare, and who prevails during the season is the better team. Derrr.
