NFL.COM POWER RANKINGS

[Pejo 6]

Teams that look good enough to be among the 12 playoff qualifiers, but not based on conference.

Rank Team Record Prv. Comment

1. Tennessee Titans 5-0 2 After a week off, the Titans should add another one in the win column in Kansas City.

2. New York Giants 4-1 1 Was it a Monday night ambush -- or were the Giants, and especially Eli Manning, exposed against the Browns?

3. Washington Redskins 4-2 2 Becoming the Rams' first victim has taken a little of the magic out of this Cinderella story.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers 4-1 6 With their next game at Cincinnati, the Steelers might feel as if they're still on their bye.

5. Arizona Cardinals 4-2 -- Kurt Warner has found his groove, the defense brings the heat, and, yes, the Cardinals look as if they're for real.

6. Dallas Cowboys 4-2 4 Without Tony Romo and Felix Jones (and with the constant threat of implosion), this team suddenly looks pretty ordinary.

7. Denver Broncos 4-2 7 Never mind the concerns over the Broncos' defense. What happened to their offense?

8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-2 11 Jeff Garcia gave the Bucs a boost of energy vs. Carolina. Next is convincing Jon Gruden he should remain the starter the rest of the year.

9. Carolina Panthers 4-2 5 If Jake Delhomme has any chance of keeping pace with ultra-prolific Drew Brees, he'd better make a dramatic improvement over what he showed at Tampa.

10. Atlanta Falcons 4-2 10 Comparing Matt Ryan with Tom Brady isn't a stretch at all.

11. Buffalo Bills 4-1 8 With Trent Edwards expected back in the lineup, the Bills have a chance to rebound from their humiliating Week 5 loss at Arizona -- provided their offensive line and defense do their part.

12. San Diego Chargers 3-3 -- Very nice recovery from the debacle at Miami, but a sterner test awaits them in Buffalo.

Wow!!! #10??? I hope we live up to the hype.

[KeepItCrispy 49]

Power rankings dont matter...but it's still awesome.

Maybe we'll be even higher in a couple weeks.

[falconsfanatic91 0]

Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum for a long time, just never post. I've been a falcon fan since the 70's. This statement really got my attention. Comparing Matt Ryan with Tom Brady isn't a stretch at all. Wow that's saying something.

[Jedi-Falcon 40]

3 of the Top-10 are NFC South teams. And the funny thing is the Saints are probably the best team in the division.

[Prufrock 0]

So where do you think they'll be ranked when the first BCS comes out?

[Lord Sarcomere 2,033]

I'm lovin' it.

[wreck02 15]

It's not that we are at #10 that gets me but that he said comparing Matt to Brady is not a stretch... and he was SERIOUS!!!

WOW... I'll take this kind of publicity any day. Guys, People are really starting to forget last year.

wow...just wow!!!!

[Big Zee 170]

Wow 8,9,10, all NFC South thats respect for not only our team but our division also and NO can't be too far behind (but I just don't think Carolina will be good for some reason).

[formul8or 0]

The Redskins lose to possibly the worst team in the NFL and still sit at #3???

[EsCoBaRxJr 4]

Nice #10!! Lets keep winning and get higher on that lsit.

By the end of december maybe we can be number 1

[Georgia Tech Bearfan 3]

Nice #10, a 4-2 deserves that.

So dude, you're a Tech and a Falcons fan??? If this is true then we should be best friends. I'll send you an application

[virginiafalcon 2,275]

I think Jacksonville, New Orleans, and Indianapolis are all better than we are right now... but that's just me.

[great white hope 72]

No, thats crazy talk. .... can you post a link or something? or was it on TV?

I agree with you Jedi. I believe by the end of the season NO will probably win our Div. I hope we do but I think we need about one more off season B4 we can make a big run.

Not that I care much about the power rankings, we seem a bit high and to compare Matt Ryan to Tom Brady right now is just plain, CRAZY!
