That's nice. More concerned about wins then rankings. Ranking tend to be very bandwagon like.

The only thing I'm enjoying about the rankings of late is how far the failcones have fallen - not that it matters of course, but it's still fun to watch.

My feelings about the rankings hasn't changed since Week -1

19 Atlanta Falcons

Last week 17

Atlanta Falcons (1-3)
In defense of the Falcons (who probably should consider playing some better defense), their three losses have come against teams with a combined record of 11-1. Their next four opponents -- the Jets, Tampa Bay, Arizona and Carolina -- boast an overall mark of 5-10.

They might win 4 in a row and then they will think they are great sitting at 5-3. Meanwhile we'll be 8-0.

Falcons fans will be talking SB the next time they lead at the half.

This makes more sense. Saints/Seahawks/Lions at home would all be favored against any team. Thus power ranking are fun but useless.
