| Rank | Team | Notes | Last Week | BeatPower |
1 |
 |
(Beat SEA) The NY Giants are able to hold on to the top spot despite beating Seattle. (Seattle, I love you, but good grief.) |
1 |
100.0(20/20 – 0/20) |
2 |
 |
(Beat TB) The Tampa Bay victory is seen as a high quality beatwin, so Denver is able to climb to the second spot. |
3 |
100.0(19/19 – 0/19) |
3 |
 |
(Beat PHI) Washington with an impressive win over Philadelphia – assuming Philadelphia is as good as everyone thinks. However, the win is seen as redundant since they had already beaten Dallas. |
2 |
95.0(19/20 – 1/20) |
4 |
 |
(Lost to DEN) New Orleans lost their beatwin over Tampa Bay this week, so Tampa Bay is able to climb despite the loss to Denver. |
7 |
85.3(13/17 – 1/17) |
5 |
 |
(Bye) Miami’s win over San Diego enables the NY Jets to jump up in the rankings. |
11 |
92.3(11/13 – 0/13) |
6 |
 |
(Beat CIN) Dallas climbs slightly due to a lengthening beatpath underneath them. |
9 |
84.6(11/13 – 2/13) |
7 |
 |
(Beat DET) Chicago is able to rise due to Tampa Bay looking stronger. |
12 |
78.6(10/14 – 2/14) |
8 |
 |
(Beat BUF) A quality win over Buffalo is making Arizona look better. |
16 |
76.9(10/13 – 3/13) |
9 |
 |
(Beat BAL) Tennessee is in the top ten due to tiebreakers, even though none of their wins look of very high quality so far. |
10 |
100.0(7/7 – 0/7) |
10 |
 |
(Beat SF) New England starts climbing again, and has no beatlosses. |
13 |
85.7(5/7 – 0/7) |
11 |

(Beat KC) No great reward for beating Kansas City, and Carolina is in a couple of beatloops besides. |
5 |
68.8(3/8 – 0/8) |
12 |
 |
(Lost to ARI) Buffalo falls slightly on the loss to Arizona. |
8 |
60.0(6/10 – 4/10) |

15 |
57.1(8/14 – 6/14) |
14 |
 |
(Lost to MIN) New Orleans loses their beatwin over Tampa Bay, which makes the slip in the rankings considerably. |
4 |
55.0(4/10 – 3/10) |
15 |
 |
(Beat GB) Atlanta gets rewarded for their surprising success this season, but they still have a long way to go. |
21 |
50.0(2/7 – 2/7) |
16 |
 |
(Lost to MIA) Another one of San Diego’s strange expected unexpected losses. They still have some of that identity that was more pronounced a couple of seasons ago – talented but undisciplined. |
6 |
40.0(1/5 – 2/5) |
17 |
 |
(Beat JAC) Pittsburgh manages to climb a bit in the rankings – they’ve got some good beatpaths underneath them and could spike up if any of the teams underneath them manages to put away some quality victories. |
19 |
46.2(6/13 – 7/13) |
18 |
 |
(Beat NO) Minnesota creates more beatloops for themselves, and manages to climb a bit. |
25 |
43.8(0/8 – 1/8) |
19 |
 |
(Lost to ATL) Green Bay slips slightly on the loss – their only beatwin so far is over Detroit. |

22 |
30.0(3/10 – 7/10) |
21 |
 |

24 |
16.7(0/6 – 4/6) |
22 |
 |
(Lost to CAR) Kansas City’s beatlosses look like they are to better teams now, so they are able to rise in the rankings a bit. |
26 |
8.3(0/6 – 5/6) |
23 |
 |
(Lost to TEN) Baltimore holds steady after losing to Tennessee. |
23 |

29 |
0.0(0/11 – 11/11) |
29 |
 |
(Beat HOU) The lowest Indianapolis has been ranked in a long time. They just haven’t had quality beatwins, and lose to teams that have in turn lost to teams without good track records. |
17 |
12.5(1/16 – 13/16) |
30 |
 |
(Lost to CHI) Detroit roughly holds steady after losing to Chicago. |
31 |

31 |
 |
(Lost to IND) Houston with the very rough start this season. |
30 |
0.0(0/14 – 14/14) |
32 |
 |
(Bye) St. Louis with a much appreciated bye. |
32 |
