This is a relatively short Power Rankings post this week. Grad school and the G-20. Wooo.
As some of our long-time readers may remember, I developed a mathematical scale for Power Rankings last year. Basically, it’s a simpler version of the stuff some NFL stats sites (like Advanced NFL Stats) do to rank teams. Unfortunately, I need at least 3-4 weeks worth of data to be able to work with, so for now, you’re stuck with my opinions.
Top 5
They disposed of a decent Dallas team this week and have moved to 2-0 in the hardest division in the NFL. The questions about their passing game are evaporating before our eyes.
Joe Flacco is tearing it up. Their defense is questionable. This is a team just waiting to get upset.
Their offense is on fire. They proved themselves against the Eagles offensively. The defense still has some holes.
They’re running well, Matt Ryan has been efficient, and the defense has been playing stellar. It’s a deadly combination in Atlanta right now.
Do I think they’re the 5th best team in the league? No. However, I give them the honor this week after they knock off the Pats.
Just Missed: Indianapolis
Bottom 5
Is there any doubt who the worst team in the league is? 7 points in 2 games? Vomit.
Did they really go 10-6 two years ago?
19 and counting but they’re still not the worst team in the league.
When you can’t beat Oakland, you’ve got problems.
I can understand getting shredded by Dallas, but Buffalo?
Just Missed: Jacksonville
