NFL Power Rankings, 9/16

Two weeks are in the books. In week one, it is probably too early to rank them. I did it anyway. Even though teams had a win or a loss, so much of the rankings was still based on the last time we had seen them, or last year. This week made sure to let us know that some teams that we thought sucked really do. Teams that looked reasonably decent in week one, like the Cowboys and Jets, showed us against a second team that most of what we saw was fake. Other teams that we thought were good, well they’re good. No shock. So this week, all teams now fit into one of three buckets: 2-0, 1-1, and 0-2. There’s still some biases from last year reflected, but you can’t be considered elite at 0-2. Also, you have teams like Dallas that won, but still suffer for how they won.
