Welcome to a special edition of the MikesPickz NFL Power Rankings!
I want to thank everyone that commented to me on Twitter, e-mail and the comments section about the original week 9 rankings. I have taken a long hard look at the formula that I introduced as a BETA this week, and I have made a minor tweak and I must say that the resulting rankings are even better now.
Be sure to read my original rankings, here, for my thoughts on each of the teams.
Here are the new rankings:
*Once again, tiers consist of teams that finished within 20 points of each other using my ranking formula*
- Tier 1
- Saints
- Colts
Tier 2
- Broncos
- Vikings
- Bengals
- Patriots
Tier 3
- Ravens
- Cowboys
- Steelers
- Falcons
- Eagles
- Cards
- Giants
- Chargers
- Dolphins
- Texans
- Packers
- Jets
Tier 4
- Bears
- 49ers
- Panthers
Tier 5
- Jaguars
- Seahawks
- Bills
- Raiders
- Titans
Tier 6
- Browns
- Lions
- Chiefs
- Redskins
- Rams
Tier 7
- Bucs
I like these rankings a lot more. I would put Steelers over Cowboys though, until the Cowboys can be consistent with beating good teams. I think the Eagles should be ranked above the Falcons as well. Other than that, it looks perfect.
Thanks.
Honestly I think you are right about the Steelers and Cowboys. The actual separation according to my formula was .1 difference between the two. And I also agree with the Eagles and Falcons, the actual separation with my formula for them was .9. So they are definitely very close in terms of rankings.
