NFL Power Ranks: Week 11

Unfortunately, the NFL hasn't expanded to Oregon yet so I can't inject myself into this uniform talk. But to all the new readers, welcome....and I hope you aren't Seahawks fans based on these ranks... If you are reading this for the first time, each Tuesday I post my computerized NFL power ranks created from a formula that weighs 7 attributes for each NFL Team. If you are interested in more details, use the label link at the bottom and read Week 1 from this season.

The Ten-0 Tennessee Titans remain at the top yet again, but the 9-1 Giants are slowly closing the gap. The Panthers, who are quietly 8-2, jumped two spots back to #3. The most surprising results of the week come from the AFC East, where 2 frequent members of the Bottom 5 from last year, the Jets and Dolphins, are now in the #4 and #5 spots. Somewhere, John Madden is smiling. The former #3 Ravens got a reality check against the Giants, dropping them to #10, and the Eagles' confusing tie against the Bengals dropped them from #4 to #8. However....

The tie with the Eagles was HUGE for the Bengals, who have finally climbed out of the bottom 5 despite being 1-8-1, but hey, they haven't lost since October 26. The 49ers dominating win over the helpless Rams moved them out of the bottom 5 as well, while the Rams fell all the way back to #31 after showing some promise a few weeks ago. The Niners and Bungles were replaced by the 2-8 Raiders and Seahawks in the bottom 5. This just in: Detroit still sucks.

The biggest gainers this week were the Colts, who jumped 6 spots to #9 as they finally start to look a little more like the old Colts again. Surging Miami and recovering Dallas and Denver jumped 5 spots. The biggest losers were the Ravens, who fell 7 spots to #10 after getting a beatdown from the Giants. The Falcons and Bears dropped 5 spots. The Falcons mostly due to the teams surging behind them and the Bears for getting destroyed by the Packers, putting them in a 3 way tie in the NFC North. Another interesting thing to note is that despite being 7-3, the rankings are still unimpressed by the Steelers.
