    Jet's at 21 about the same as last week, but nice comment from Peter.

    The rankings for Oct. 3:

    POWER RANKINGS
    Current Team Previous
    1 Colts ? Trends 1
    At 4-0, should we start talking about that undefeated season again? That wasn't pretty in New York, but you know they'll take it.
    2 Bears ? Trends 5
    They are the only unbeaten team in the NFC. With a soft schedule the rest of the way, they look like the team to beat for the No. 1 seed. Is that offense for real? It looks like it.
    3 Ravens ? Trends 6
    Is this 2000 all over again, with a lot of defense with just enough offense on top? At some point, though, the offense has to pick it up.
    4 Broncos ? Trends 7
    They come off the bye rested and feeling pretty good having defeated the Patriots the last time out.
    5 Patriots ? Trends 9
    This team refuses to lose two games in a row. Just when you want to think it's slipping away, they come back and play like they did Sunday.
    6 Eagles ? Trends 10
    They got rid of the pesky Packers in a poorly played game, but now comes the real fun. It's T.O. week. I can hardly wait.
    7 Seahawks ? Trends 2
    No Shaun Alexander is one thing, but what happened to that defense? That had to be an aberration.
    8 Bengals ? Trends 3
    That was a terrible display against the Patriots. Was it a mulligan or are their warts showing up? We'll see as we move on this season.
    9 Chargers ? Trends 4
    They didn't finish the job against the Ravens, and now they have the desperate Super Bowl champs coming to town. That's tough duty.
    10 Cowboys ? Trends 12
    They looked great in blowing out the Titans, but now comes Eagles week. The T.O. hype will be suffocating.
    11 Falcons ? Trends 13
    They keep rushing the ball well, but the story of this team is the defense. They haven't allowed an offensive touchdown in four games. That's impressive.
    12 Jaguars ? Trends 8
    At 2-2, they've fallen back down to Earth after their 2-0 start. Losing to two tough teams on the road isn't that that bad, but now they have to regroup against the Jets at home, which won't be easy.
    13 Panthers ? Trends 16
    After an 0-2 start, they've evened their record. Now it's time for them to get rolling. They're a better team than they've showed so far.
    14 Rams ? Trends 17
    The offense came alive, which is not a good thing for the opposition. This could be a playoff team.
    15 Redskins ? Trends 18
    Two weeks ago, they looked lost. Now they look like they can't be stopped. That offensive explosion against a good Jaguars defense was impressive.
    16 Saints ? Trends 11
    Thud. That's the Saints falling back to reality. They've still overachieved at 3-1. Losing to Carolina on the road in respectable fashion is OK.
    17 Vikings ? Trends 14
    That 2-0 start doesn't look so good now. This team has to score more points. It's funny how quickly you can fall down in this league.
    18 Steelers ? Trends 15
    The bye week was needed for this team, especially Ben Roethlisberger, but now they go to San Diego to face the Chargers. They have to win it if they want to win the division.
    19 Giants ? Trends 19
    Did the players cool down during the bye week? If not, this team could implode. The home game vs. Washington this week will test the Giants in a big way.
    20 Bills ? Trends 21
    The young defense will keep this team in a lot of games. As J.P. Losman matures, they'll be even better on offense. They won't be an easy mark for any team.
    21 Jets ? Trends 20
    Props to Eric Mangini for the way he has this young team fighting each week. He's exceeded what I thought they would do.
    22 Chiefs ? Trends 24
    The bye week did the Chiefs a lot of good. Damon Huard has done a nice job in place of Trent Green, who will be back in two weeks.
    23 Dolphins ? Trends 22
    So much for all that Super Bowl talk. Losing at Houston reveals a lot. Now they have to go to New England, where a loss will end their division-winning hopes.
    24 Browns ? Trends 29
    Too bad they can't play the Raiders every week. That's the perfect tonic for a team in need of a victory.
    25 Texans ? Trends 30
    David Carr is having a heck of a season and nobody is paying attention. If the defense can continue to play as it did against the Dolphins, they'll surprise some more teams.
    26 Packers ? Trends 25
    They hung around for a while against the Eagles, but they don't have the talent to do that for an entire game. It's going to be a long first year for coach Mike McCarthy.
    27 Cardinals ? Trends 23
    They're changing quarterbacks from Kurt Warner to Matt Leinart, but will it matter with that woeful offensive line? Are these the same old Cardinals?
    28 Buccaneers ? Trends 26
    They come off their bye week without their starting quarterback, which means rookie Bruce Gradkowski is now in as the starter. At 0-3, they're in a huge hole.
    29 49ers ? Trends 27
    Just when you think it's time that this team will make a move forward, they go way back. That's what youth does.
    30 Lions ? Trends 28
    At 0-4, their season is over. It's only a matter of time before Matt Millen's career in the front office is as well.
    31 Titans ? Trends 31
    It's going to be a long season, but putting Vince Young in as the starter is the right thing. Consider this a redshirt season.
    32 Raiders ? Trends 32
    It's bad, really bad. It's only a matter of time before Randy Moss explodes about this season. Just suck, baby.

    yeah we actually swapped placed with them 20/21. But honeslty both teams are about right at 20/21. Both teams are better than most ppl thought.

    How can the Bills possibly be ahead of us.

    I don't get the logic, we have the same record as the Bills and we beat the Bills at Buffalo and they are ahead of us, we have a better record than the Giants and our 2 losses are against 2 of their top 5 teams while the Giants 2 losses are against their 6 & 7 teams yet the Giants are 2 spots ahead of us, the Vikes have the same record and lost to the team we beat a week ago and they are 4 spots ahead of us, the dolphins who look as bad as can be are only spots behind us. I just don't get the logic.

    Putting us behind the Bills is nonsensical, but we are given props twice in those rankings - see #12

    I think they are top 10. I said atleast 15 because that is based on the opinions of others.
