1. N.Y. Jets 5-1 (1)
2. Pittsburgh 5-1 (2)...We'll see. They were probably one of the favorites heading into last week but I'm not sure if they can contend after losing Aaron Smith. They weren't the same team in 2007 or 2009 when he went down.
3. New England 5-1 (3)
4. Baltimore 5-2 (4)
5. Tennessee 5-2 (6)...Looking more and more dangerous. Explosive offensive players. Defense has been getting sacks and interceptions.
6. Indianapolis 4-2 (5)
7. N.Y. Giants 5-2 (7)...Tempted to put them ahead of Indy. They're a lot better than they were in that game but Peyton would probably still beat Eli if they played again today.
8. Atlanta 5-2 (10)
9. Houston 4-2 (11)
10. Kansas City 4-2 (12)

11. New Orleans 4-3 (8)
12. Washington 4-3 (14)
13. Philadelphia 4-3 (9)
14. Miami 3-3 (15)
15. Green Bay 4-3 (18)
16. Chicago 4-3 (13)
17. Minnesota 2-4 (17)
18. Seattle 4-2 (23)
19. Arizona 3-3 (16)
20. Tampa Bay 4-2 (22)
21. Oakland 3-4 (26)

22. Dallas 1-5 (19)
23. Cleveland 2-5 (28)
24. St. Louis 3-4 (24)
25. Cincinnati 2-4 (25)
26. San Diego 2-5 (27)
27. Jacksonville 3-4 (20)
...All these teams from 22 to 27 could be debated and switched up a little. Jacksonville has some solid wins but they seem to get crushed every loss and the QB situation has set them back even more. Dallas only has one win but I think their losses are mostly against above average teams. Cleveland moved up five spots, perhaps a little high.

28. Denver 2-5 (21)...Broncos gave the NFL fans in London a lot to be excited about this week.
29. Detroit 1-5 (29)
30. Carolina 1-5 (31)
31. San Francisco 1-6 (30)
32. Buffalo 0-6 (32)

8 of the top 10 in the AFC. Sounds about right.

I think you might have Seattle a bit low. Other than that it looks good.

That is what I was thinking also. Tampa should be higher than 20th and Arizona should be pushed into the 20's.

Dallas, without Romo, might be too high. But it looks pretty good.

That's what I was thinking. With Romo, it'd be possible to say that they've been losing to tough competition and at least could turn things around and be an average team. Without him, and with retread Kitna "leading" the way, they're more bottom-group than where they're currently at. Like, I have trouble justifying them as being ranked higher than any of the other 22-27 teams. They're underachieving at least as bad as Cincinnati and San Diego...and lost a key offensive component.

Yea the whole, "playing teams tough" argument is BS. The Browns played Atlanta and Baltimore "tough", but what did that get them? 2 L's.

They beat Houston, well the Browns beat New Orleans,
