Hey, instead of instituting a profoundly gay B&G power ranking, why not just post which teams you think will make the playoffs for each conference, in order of their finish? Serves somewhat of the same purpose and sets up for discussions of the potential matchups. And you can update it each week!

Like Euph has said, Power rankings are significant for college fb because the University Presidents are too chicken to have a playoff system and prefer having a beauty contest instead of an on-the-field championship. Power rankings are stupid for the NFL because the best teams in each conference make the playoffs, where the real season begins.

Therefore:


NFC
(1) Dallas 14-2 bye
(2) Green Bay 13-3 bye
(3) New Orleans 11-5 vs (6) Detroit 11-5
(4) Seattle 10-6 vs (5) NY Giants 12-4

AFC
(1) NE 16-0 bye
(2) Indy 14-2 bye
(3) Pittsburgh 12-4 vs (6) CLE 10-6
(4) Kansas City 9-7 vs (5) Tenn 12-4
