Around the Web: Week 5 Power Rankings

Posted Fri Oct 16th by

Our weekly perusal around the Interwebz for water cooler fodder.

ESPN: 5th
The Broncos have silenced more doubters each week to the point where far fewer are around.

CBS: 5th
Hard to believe they are here. But I believe now. Just a warning: Be careful Monday at San Diego. That could be an ambush. The Chargers are desperate.

FOX: 6th
THE BRIGHT SIDE: Can we give this team some respect already after big wins against Dallas and New England? It’s all thanks to a defense that has dropped its scoring average by an incredible 20 points per game.

NFL.com: 4th-6th
Eight panelists post their individual power rankings.

USA Today: 5th
Went to Super Bowl last time they were 5-0, 1998.

    6. Bengals
    7. Eagles

    9. Bears
    10 Pittsburgh

    The ESPN comment annoys the hell out of me. It is such a idiotic comment. Even Yogi Bera would have been embarrassed by that one.

    power rankings mean nothing. they sure dont determine the SB winner at midseason.

  • robtink242

    they sure dont. I perfer not to have the media attention its to distracting and i pefer being the underdog.

    Diddo @robtink242 but it is nice to be noticed

  • IanHenson

    There's not a team in the top five we couldn't beat. I really like that feeling.

  • Steve

    I like the underdog label as well, but why based on many of the ranking do the panelist pick SD to win?

  • MrEast

    Sorry I couldn't get The Tentative Ten up. I caught that nasty swine flu this week and it is still kicking the crap out of me.

  • IanHenson

    I've had it for about a week, love it… Kind of tickles.

  • IanHenson

    I'm going to be more worried when they start picking us to win…

  • robtink242

    Jarvis Moss??? can we please get rid of this guy before the trade deadline. We can always pick one of those players the Giants cut before the season and they would be better than him. This team is dying for a legit returner. I must admit our coverage team is nice. but a chain is only is as strong as its weakest link and he is our's by far. Suggestion Moss for Hixon

    “Not sure how any one thinks the Broncos are taking the Chargers lightly or think that this will be “an easy win.” Have you checked Vegas recently? The Broncos are 4 point underdogs. That means Brian Dawkins is not getting any respect, just like the last couple of weeks. And we know what happens when Weapon X gets no respect…” Brocos T on denverpost.com
    haha love it

    Lets hope this weekend game is not going to be Broncos turning point for worse.
    Go Broncos!

    I love how every one talks about overconfidence in the Broncos and how San Diego could be a trap game and how the Broncos might be looking forward to a bye week! Give me a break. I don't think Dawk, Champ, Wiegmann and Orton would let the guys on the teeam get like that. To many good veterans on this team. And McDaniels will never let his team settle into complacency like that. That leads to mediocrity. There is no reason this tema can't be 6-0 going into its bye week.
