32 (31). Indianapolis Colts, 0-9: One thing is for sure, Jim Caldwell isn't Tony Dungy. And Curtis Painter isn't Peyton Manning. With only 7 games left, will the Colts suck for Luck?

31 (32). Seattle Seahawks, 2-6: Sure, the Seahawks managed to beat the Cardinals and Giants but they're not gonna win many games with a hormonal head coach like Pete Carroll.

30 (32). Miami Dolphins, 1-7: They did it! They finally won a game. Will 1-15 be bad enough to get the first pick, though?

29 (26). Cleveland Browns, 3-5: They've beaten Indianapolis, Miami, and Seattle. Notice where those teams are in the rankings?

28 (28). St. Louis Rams, 1-7: Not every team in St. Louis can have a genius running their team. Thankfully for the Rams, they've got Spagnuolo instead of that overrated blowhard that just retired.

27 (27). Arizona Cardinals, 2-6: Kevin Kolb sits and Larry Fitzgerald catches his first touchdown in several weeks. Impending QB controversy in Arizona?

26 (24). Jacksonville Jaguars, 2-6: Seriously, how the hell did this team beat Baltimore and Tennessee? Un-freaking-believable.

25 (30). Denver Broncos, 3-5: Tim Tebow is a winner. Suck it, haters.

24 (23). Washington Redskins, 3-5: I have John Beck as a back-up on my fantasy team but I'm starting to think the Redskins made a mistake by benching Rex Grossman. Wow, I can't believe I just said that.

23 (25). Kansas City Chiefs, 4-4: Other than the heartless cowards that Norv Turner calls a football team in San Diego, Kansas City really hasn't beaten anyone worth mentioning. And now they've lost to Miami? Pathetic.

22 (22). Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 4-4: Bring back Bucco Bruce for this big bunch of ball-less bitches.

21 (19). Carolina Panthers , 2-6: Cam Newton has perfected doing just enough to lose.

20 (15). Tennessee Titans, 4-4: The Titans cost me some money by not being able to hold a 10-point lead against the Bengals this week. What the fuck, man.

19 (21). Cincinnati Bengals, 6-2: They've beaten Cleveland, Indianapolis, Seattle, Jacksonville, and Tennessee. The win over Buffalo was nice but this team sucks.

18 (18). Dallas Cowboys, 4-4: A big win over Seattle should advance the Cowboys up in the rankings, right? Yeah, totally.

17 (17). Philadelphia Eagles, 3-5: I've never seen such a talented bunch of assholes be such a huge disappointment. Well, not since the Phillies lost to the fucking Cardinals in the postseason this year.

16 (20). Minnesota Vikings, 2-6: And they're back in the top 16. I love Donovan McNabb but Christian Ponder makes this offense a lot more consistent.

15 (9). Oakland Raiders, 4-4: The Raiders are a totally different team without Jason Campbell. But don't count them out just yet. Shit, they're stilled tied for 1st place in the AFC West.

14 (12). San Diego Chargers, 4-4: Norv Turner is a loser and it's started to finally rub off on Philip Rivers.

13 (16). Atlanta Falcons, 5-3: Atlanta has started to run the ball well so that means Matt Ryan won't have to unsuccessfully attempt to win games on his own.

12 (13). Chicago Bears, 5-3: Jay Cutler is better than Michael Vick . . . at being overrated by his teams' fans.

11 (6). Buffalo Bills, 5-3: Getting embarrassed by the Jets in a home game isn't exactly the best way to make a statement. The Jets aren't that good but the Bills couldn't compete with 'em.

10 (11). New York Jets, 5-3: As long as they have Mark Sanchez, they have a chance to lose any game no matter who the opponent is.

9 (4). New England Patriots, 5-3: New England is almost always respected because of their history but when you consider that their 5 wins are against Miami, San Diego, Oakland, the Jets, and Dallas, their 5-3 record isn't really all that impressive. Better break out the video camera again.

8 (5). San Francisco 49ers, 7-1: The magic will start to run out.

7 (14). New York Giants, 6-2: Man, this team really plays up or down to its competition. Isn't that exactly what they did when they went on that hot streak to win the Superbowl though? Watch out.

6 (10). Pittsburgh Steelers, 6-3: You can fine them as much as you want but this team just imposes its will on others. Just ask Ben Roethlisberger.

5 (7). Detroit Lions, 6-2: They've stopped the bleeding by trouncing the Broncos but how will they do against an overrated Bears team this week?

4 (8). Baltimore Ravens, 6-2: As bad as Joe Flacco has been this year, this team is still 6-2. How the hell is that even possible?

3 (3). Houston Texans, 6-3: Andre Johnson still isn't back and this team is starting to look really good. If I were you, I'd go out and get a Texans tattoo declaring them this year's Superbowl champs.

2 (2). New Orleans Saints, 6-3: So they lost to the Rams? BFD.

1 (1). Green Bay Packers, 8-0: People question the defense but I haven't really seen the defense fail when the game was truly on the line. And with the Packers offense, the defense may not even get a chance to blow a game.

Always a pleasure to see the return of the best (and only) power rankings on the site.

Speaking of returns (or departures), where the fuck Mad at?

[paydayuscf]

I'm hear to please . . . and no clue where Mad is. Maybe has has midterms this week?

[amusaasyday]

Eagles are too high.

Eagles are too high.

True. I think I also recycled my commentary from a previous power rankings. I'm not sure.

And by "true" I mean: I disagree. They belong where they are ranked.

[Lillie_Steins]

At this rate, we'll be back on top with 5 more bye weeks.

Here's my chance to criticize:

Steelers above Ravens even though Ravens have beaten them twice? Cowboys at 14 when the only real team they've beaten is the overrated 49ers and after they got completely dominated by the Eagles a week ago? And Bengals at 4?

Ravens have been awful lately, the Steelers had them on the matt and let them up. Before that, they were one of the hottest teams going.

14 aint so high for the Cowboys. You have the Vikings at 16. But that's neither here nor there.

Yeah, the Bengals, Good defense, nice young offensive stars coming into their own.
