NFL Power Rankings (Week 5)

Your gal this week: Eva Amurri (aka, Susan Sarandon's daughter). She apparently plays a college student who strips at night on "Californication." I watched part of Season One on DVD and it's a hilarious show with plenty of T&A. She reminds me of that red head on "Mad Men."



32. St. Louis Rams (0-5)
31. Kansas City Chiefs (0-5)
30. Oakland Raiders (1-4)
29. Tennessee Titans (0-5)
28. Buffalo Bills (1-4)
27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-5)
26. Cleveland Browns (1-4)
25. Washington Redskins (2-3)
24. Detroit Lions (1-4)
23. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3)
22. Carolina Panthers (1-3)
21. Houston Texans (2-3)



20. Arizona Cardinals (2-2)
19. San Diego Chargers (2-2)
18. Seattle Seahawks (2-3)
17. Miami Dolphins (2-3)
16. Green Bay Packers (2-2)
15. Dallas Cowboys (3-2)
14. Chicago Bears (3-1)
13. San Francisco (3-2)
12. New York Jets (3-2)
11. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2)



10. Baltimore Ravens (3-2)
9. New England Patriots (3-2)
8. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1)
7. Denver Broncos (5-0)
6. Cincinnati Bengals (4-1)
5. Atlanta Falcons (3-1)
4. Minnesota Vikings (5-0)
3. New Orleans Saints (4-0)
2. New York Giants (5-0)
1. Indianapolis Colts (5-0)

Note that I did not drop the Saints in the rankings (but I did for the Giants). The Saints have a +78 point differential (144 PF to 66 PA) in just FOUR GAMES. I'm not moving them anywhere until after next week's showdown. The Giants, meanwhile, went 44-7 on the fucking Raiders. And I STILL think you could argue that the Saints are the best team in the league, due to beating better opponents.

Saints' opp. winning pct. -- .421
Giants' opp. winning pct. -- .240
Colts' opp. winning pct. -- .333

And for what it's worth, the other two undefeated teams:

Broncos' opp. winning pct. -- .480
Vikings' opp. winning pct. -- .292

Denver. Go figure...
