I think it would have been prudent to at least wait until after this evening to make this kind of statement.
If the Colts beat the Pats then I think you have a bona fide argument that the Pats are a very good team that beats up on inferior teams but doesn't beat the top teams.
But if the Pats beat the Colts then I think you have to rank NE ahead of Cincinnati right now. NE and Cincinnati both beat Baltimore (Cincinnati twice) but lost narrowly to Denver. Both will be 7-2. NE has been more impressive in terms of offensive ranking, defensive ranking, and point differential. Obviously, 4 quality wins of Baltimore and Pittsburgh twice each count for a lot. So I would probably rank them equally.
Interestingly, if the Pats beat Indy then I think you can make a good argument that 7-2 NE and Cincinnati should both be ranked ahead of 8-1 Indy. Indy's 8 wins have come against 5-4 Jacksonville, 5-4 Houston, 3-6 Tennessee (less convincingly than NE beat them), 4-5 Miami (less convincingly than NE beat them), 1-8, St. Louis, 4-5 San Francisco, 3-6 or 4-5 Seattle, and 6-3 or 5-4 Arizona (with Seattle currently leading Arizona 14-0). None exactly world beaters. So if Indy loses I think you can make a good argument that their 8-1 record was compiled against average or below-average teams, and that they haven't yet proven they can beat a top team.
And 9-0 NO Orleans is looking increasingly like a fraud, barely escaping today against 1-8 St. Louis after having to pull out games in the 2nd half against 5-4 Atlanta, 4-5 Carolina and 4-5 Miami. And 8-1 Minnesota struggled to put away 1-8 Detroit today, and barely squeeked by Baltimore (who both Cincy and NE beat) on a missed 42 yard FG as time ran out.
So if NE beats Indy tonight I think you could make a reasonable argument that Cincinnati and NE should be considered the top 2 teams in the NFL right now.
You may be right about Cincy vs. the Pats. But I wouldn't jump the gun if I were you.
