2008 Power Rankings Week 5

the soccer stadium with the bright lights

It’s been really hard to look at Seahawks news this week. If a game like that doesn’t shake your confidence, I don’t know what would. At least the economy isn’t depressing too…

As expected, the Hawks drop more than any NFL team this week. Interesting to see Washington out of the top 10 still. I’d expect that to be a product of a tough schedule so far, but maybe there is some weakness there not evident to the naked eye. Chicago is another team whose stats suggest something different than the national perspective. They might be better than people are giving them credit for.
