Week 15 Power Rankings
Sorry guys I do not have enough time today to post my own comments and my own rankings. If I have time later in the week I'll come back and edit this page to my own liking. But for now I am posting CBS Sportsline's Week 15 Power Poll. I don't see how they moved Houston out of the bottom spot... but other than that it looks pretty good.
POWER RANKINGS
Current
Team
1
Indianapolis Colts
The only way they are stopped from going unbeaten is if they stop themselves, which means shut it down. They won't be stopped in winning their rings. Bank on that.
2
Seattle Seahawks
Boy, do they look good. The Seahawks have been dominant the past two weeks. Still, do we know if they're any good?
3
Denver Broncos
Playing the Ravens close is not a good thing when you're making a playoff push. We'll call that a mulligan.
4
Cincinnati Bengals
They still have designs on the No. 2 seed in the AFC. With a favorable schedule, that's possible.
5
New York Giants
Playing the Eagles is always a challenge for the Giants, no matter how the Eagles are playing. That showed up Sunday. What has to change are the picks Eli Manning is throwing.
6
Jacksonville Jaguars
With three games left against teams that are well below .500, the Jaguars should be a playoff team. If they don't make it, it would be a major meltdown.
7
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
That was a huge win on Sunday to vault them into first place. But they can't celebrate long with the Patriots this Saturday.
8
New England Patriots
They're coming. Hard. As their players get healthy, they play better. It's simple, really.
9
Pittsburgh Steelers
They went retro on Sunday with the Bus running over people. That's what they've been missing.
10
Chicago Bears
At some point the offense is going to have to come alive. They can't win all their games with great defense.
11
Carolina Panthers
What the heck was that against Tampa Bay? In a week, they've gone from division leader to the chance they might not make the playoffs. Wow.
12
Dallas Cowboys
That was a heck of a win over Kansas City, a victory that keeps their playoff hopes alive.
13
Minnesota Vikings
That Love Boat seems so long ago now that they've ripped off six consecutive victories. The defense is really playing well.
14
Atlanta Falcons
They play what is essentially a playoff game Sunday night at Chicago. A loss could end their playoff chances.
15
San Diego Chargers
Let's hear it now: They'll be the best non-playoff team we'll see in a long time. As if that matters.
16
Kansas City Chiefs
Their playoff hopes are teetering, but a sweep of their final three will still get them into the postseason. It won't be easy with the schedule they face.
17
Washington Redskins
After two road victories, the Redskins are still in the playoff hunt with key games against the Giants and Cowboys at home left. All you can ask is to be alive down the stretch, and they are.
18
Miami Dolphins
Nick Saban can flat out coach. The Dolphins will be a test for whoever plays them this season -- and really next year.
19
Philadelphia Eagles
Give Andy Reid credit for getting his team to play hard against the Giants Sunday. A lot of teams would have folded it up after what Seattle did to them.
20
Tennessee Titans
It's not going to be pretty with this team, but at least they're still fighting. That's a good sign for the future.
21
St. Louis Rams
Three more games and they will blow this thing up. Count on it.
22
Baltimore Ravens
Kyle Boller is making strides, which is a good thing for the future. Then again, it's about time.
23
Cleveland Browns
They seemed to have found their quarterback of the future in Charlie Frye. That's a good thing as they build for the future.
24
Arizona Cardinals
This may sound funny, but I don't think this team is that far away. If they improve their running game in 2006, they could push for a playoff spot.
25
Buffalo Bills
This is not a good football team right now and heads will roll after the season. It's just a matter of whose heads.
26
New York Jets
They scored a touchdown. They scored a touchdown. Yes, it's been that kind of season in New York.
27
Oakland Raiders
Changing quarterbacks wasn't the answer. So will changing coaches after the season be it?
28
Green Bay Packers
They found a way to win against the Lions, but who doesn't? Samkon Gado is the real deal.
29
New Orleans Saints
They can't wait to get this mess of season over with and find out where they'll play next season. It's been one of the weirdest seasons in NFL history.
30
Detroit Lions
New coach, same results. Wonder if it that would be the same way if the president was fired?
31
Houston Texans
They find new and creative ways to lose games every week. Are they trying to get the first overall pick? Dan Reeves to the rescue.
32
San Francisco 49ers
After what they did in Seattle, they need to fall to the bottom spot. That was putrid. Give them time, though.

It's cute how CBS has littered a few NFC teams in the Top-5. The AFC is ridiculously strong. The NFC is the opposite of that. And by that, I mean, craptastic.
LOL. I agree with you there. I think the top AFC team all the way down to Pittsburgh and San Diego could manhandle any NFC team.
How are the Texans not last? I know the 49ers are bad but are they Houston bad?
