Week 8 Power Rankings

Apologies for not getting this out in time. Week 9 Power Rankings will be posted by Sunday.

Rank Team Record  
1 (7-0)   

Embarrassed the 49ers. The game was over at the end of the first quarter. Imagine what the score could have been if the Bears didn’t stroll through the second half.

2 (7-0)   

Very impressive win against the Broncos. The match-up between Marvin Harrison and Champ Bailey pretty much cost me my fantasy game this weekend. I had Marvin Harrison, my opponent had Reggie Wayne.

3 (6-1)   

Tom Brady we do I doubt thee? While I played Philip Rivers, you sat on my bench. Never again.

4 (5-2)   

I refused to move the Broncos down in the power rankings. It was a great match against the Colts, but they just couldn’t contain Peyton Manning.

5 (5-2)   1 

4 weeks ago the Giants were #20 in my power rankings. Now they are at #5 and look like they have settled out their early inconsistencies.

6 (5-2)   2 

Another huge performance from LT, who after Peyton Manning, has to be the best offensive threat in the NFL.

7 (5-2)   5 

Add another 2 defensive TDs to the tally. The D’s performance certainly didn’t help my fantasy prospects.

8 (5-2)   1 

Who is this QB and what have they done with Michael Vick? 7 passing TDs in two weeks, very nice.

9 (4-3)   2 

Ocho Cinco got 1 of the 2 TDs he promised, but the Bengals still lost.

10 (5-2)   5 

8 weeks and still no TD from scrimmage for Reggie Bush. He still proves to be a horrible match-up for teams, but the lack of production is already resulting in people calling him a bust.

11 (4-3)   2 

Could Romo be the saviour after all? At least T.O. will be happy while he is getting his, but just wait for Romo to do something wrong.

12 (4-3)   5 

Damon Huard has been solid for the Chiefs with 8 TDs and just 1 INT. Let’s see what Trent Green can do when he returns, but he will definitely be under a microscope. Did I mention my fantasy opponent had Larry Johnson and his 4 TDs.

13 (4-3)   3 

The Seahawks almost had an unlikely victory without their two star players. They are going to continue to struggle until they both return.

14 (4-4)   3 

3 losses in a row for the Eagles. Also, no TDs against Jacksonville. What’s going on?

15 (4-3)   7 

Held the Eagles to 2 field goals. Very impressive win.

16 (4-3)   2 

The Rams continue to fly under the radar, but if the Seahawks continue to have injury problems, the Rams could get the playoff spot in the NFC west.

17 (4-4)   2 

Took a 14 point lead against the Cowboys, but then folded the rest of the game and lost. Disappointing effort.

18 (4-3)   2 

Utterly dominated by the Patriots. Should rebound against the hapless 49es this weekend.

19 (4-4)   1 

Really surprising loss to the Browns. The Jets had been a real surprise so far this year, but this was an awful loss by a team who has overachieved this year.

20 (3-4)   4 

The return of Ahman Green. 2 TDs and over 100 rushing yards.

21 (2-5)   4 

Shoot up 4 places in the rankings thank to some bad performances by other teams.

22 (2-5)   2 

Managed 3 points against the Giants. Face an interesting match-up against the Saints this weekend.

23 (2-5)   4 

Look at the Titans go! Vince Young with one passing TD and one rushing TD.

24 (2-5)   3 

One week after a great performance, they were awful against a team they should have beaten. David Carr was benched during this game too.

25 (2-5)   1 

Another team that moved up in the rankings following poor performances by other teams.

26 (2-5)   4 

Nice win for the Browns against a team that really should have beaten them.

27 (2-5)   4 

What a massacre. The 49ers were like a high school team against the Bears.

28 (2-5)   3 

No offensive TDs and they still beat the defending Superbowl champs and effectively end their season.

29 (2-5)   10 

Say goodbye to any chance of defending the championship. Losing to the Raiders? Disgraceful.

30 (1-6)   1

The only team from the bye week to drop in the rankings. That’s how bad they are.

31 (1-7)   3 

The only reason that Dennis Green is still at the helm is because the owner is too tight to release him - he has lost this team.

32 (1-6)   

If the Bears destroyed the 49ers, imagine what they will do to the Dolphins this weekend.
