If you are a regular power ranking watcher, you can see how the Steelers and Jets have separated themselves from the pack at the top in terms of points. Teams 3-8 are almost interchangeable from week to week and this week we have a top ten newcomer with the Chiefs making an appearance at number nine, while the Super Bowl Champion Saints fall down to 14. Read on to find out where your favorite team sits in the Week 8 NFL power rankings…

Week 7 Computerized NFL Power Rankings

Guess who is on top of the Week 7 power rakings? Here’s a clue: J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. New York jumps over the Steelers and heads into the bye as the No. 1 team in the NFL. At 5-1, the Jets have won three road games and their only loss was by a point at home to Baltimore. They have earned the top spot in the Power Rankings the hard way. That takes nothing away from the Steelers who got Big Ben back last week with a tune up at home against Cleveland. This week gets tougher at Miami.

The AFC still rules the power rankings through 6 full NFL weeks. Is anyone from the NFC going to step up? The Saints look to be putting it together now so watch out above… Read more

NFL Computerized Power Rankings: Week 6

Finally some stability in the power rankings as four of the top five hold on to their spots while the Colts move up three spots to join the top 5 after defeating the previously unbeaten Chiefs who fall down to the 11 spot. With Ben coming back to Pittsburgh this week, it may be very difficult to dislodge the Steelers from the number one spot.

We know there are good arguments to be made for the Jets and the Ravens to be number one, but when you dive into the numbers its the lack of scoring offense, turnovers, and thus the point differential that is holding back the Ravens and the easy (15th ranked) schedule holding back the Jets…more

Here they are the computer has crunched the numbers and come up confused as the rest of us this topsy turvy season. The Chiefs are the last undefeated team standing at least for the next few days, but that wont propel them to the top, they haven’t played enough good teams yet to know where they are, give it two weeks then see where they end up. Parity is here this year in a huge way as the Steelers are the number one team and they still have questions, it seems as if every team has questions be it the Chiefs inexperience, the Jets and Falcons young quarterbacks, The Ravens are not far from 2-2 and Cleveland beat them badly. What team is going to step up and take control?

We enter week 4 with a lot of things shaking out and a few surprises. Who would have thought that Charlie Batch would be the savior at quarterback for the Steelers? The Steelers are 3-0 without Ben and everyone was just hoping for 2-2 and treading water. Then again, Who thought the Chiefs would even sniff the top ten this year? It is going to get harder for them the next few weeks, but they deserve credit for what they have done so far and more than half of the roster has less than 3 years experience. They will get good and they are going to be good for a long time when they do…. Complete Power Rankings on SportzNutz.com

We have played games for real now and it’s time to start shaking it up. The Saints showed they were right where they belonged on top. There won’t be many games when that offense is limited to 14 points. So to play defense the way they did serves notice to the entire league. The champs won’t go down without a strong fight.

In a weekend full of upsets 6 of the preseason top ten teams lost. That makes for a pretty big shakeup behind the Saints. It will be a long climb back up the computer rankings for some of those teams while for others it will just be a blip on another successful season. This Sunday we will continue to find out who are the contenders, and who are the pretenders…
