Totally Scientific Power Rankings: Week 3

So far it would seem that being ranked in first place in the Totally Scientific Power Rankings is a curse. After week 1 we had the Ravens at the top of the tree, and they promptly went and got taken apart by the Titans. Then we had the Patriots at the top of the pile, and Lindell's right foot saw to them in the final seconds at the Ralph on Sunday.

If I was a betting man I'd put a large amount of money on the Broncos pulling off a massive upset next week, or maybe not.

Anyway, without any further prevarication, to-do or general beating around the bush, here are this week's Totally Scientific Power Rankings:

1. Green Bay Packers (Record: 3-0) (Previous Week: 3)
2. Buffalo Bills (3-0) (7)
3. New Orleans Saints (2-1) (5)
4. New England Patriots (2-1) (1)
5. Detroit Lions (3-0) (6)
6. Baltimore Ravens (2-1) (11)
7.  Dallas Cowboys (2-1) (15)
8. New York Jets (2-1) (2)
9. Houston Texans (2-1) (4)
10. Tennessee Titans (2-1) (16)
11. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) (12)
12. Washington Redskins (2-1) (9)
13. Oakland Raiders (2-1) (21)
14. Chicago Bears (1-2) (10)
15. San Diego Chargers (2-1) (14)
16. New York Giants (2-1) (19)
17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) (17)
18. San Francisco 49ers (2-1) (20)
19. Atlanta Falcons (1-2) (8)
20. Cleveland Browns (2-1) (25)
21. Carolina Panthers (1-2) (30)
22. Philadelphia Eagles (1-2) (13)
23. Denver Broncos (1-2) (24)
24. Cincinnati Bengals (1-2) (27)
25. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) (18)
26. Seattle Seahawks (1-2) (31)
27. Arizona Cardinals (1-2) (23)
28. Miami Dolphins (0-3) (22)
29. Minnesota Vikings (0-3) (28)
30. Indianapolis Colts (0-3) (29)
31. St Louis Rams (0-3) (26)
32. Kansas City Chiefs (0-3) (32)

So, as I said above, the number 1 slot has been a curse so far this season, though the Packers have certainly got a more straightforward game in week 3 than either the Ravens or Patriots had. I honestly thought that this would be the season that the Rams wouldn't be hovering around the bottom end of the Power Rankings for most of the season too, but it appears that a good young quarterback might actually need some good receivers, an offensive line and a running game to progress. Whodathunkit?

That's all for now kids, remember, there are no reasons, just the facts.
