NFL Computerized Power Ranks: Week 10

We no longer have any undefeated teams, and on top of that, in a huge game this weekend, the #3 Texans beat the #1 Bears to propel Houston back into the top spot.  This bumped Chicago down to #2 and Atlanta to #3.  The idle Packers remain at #4, and the Ravens crushing of the Raiders moved them into the #5 spot, thanks to the 49ers very bizarre tie against the Rams.

On the low end, the bottom 3 remain the same (Chiefs, Jags, Eagles), while the Bengals shockingly easy win over the Giants moved them up 8 spots to #21, pushing down Buffalo and Carolina into the bottom 5.

The biggest gainers this week were the above mentioned Bengals and the Cowboys, who jumped over some below average teams by getting a win.  The biggest losers were the Dolphins, who got blown out by the Titans, and the Raiders, who also got blown out by the Ravens.

The 49ers-Rams tie caused both teams to drop the ranks.  The Niners fell to #9 from #5 while the Rams fell to #27 from #24
