Still better than FootBall Outsider's rankings (ya, I am going to beat this drum one more time) which has us 13th; although we did climb from last week when we were sitting 18th, right behind the then 5-8 Eagles.
As far a jumbs go, we moved up to 13. Biggest Jumper of the week, Baltimore from 24 to 14 for beating up on the lowly Packers Monday night. In reading their system, Baltimore at 5-9 is ranked 4 spots above where the 8-5 Pats were last week. And just one spot below the Pats now.
The beating we put on Tampa dropped them at 9-5 down to 19 on the list, behind not only the aforementioned 5-9 Ravens; but also the 4-10 Raiders at 16. Absolutely worthless this ranking is, I tell ya.
I know, the system attempts to incorporate various statistics, be somewhat objective etc, but when this is the result, time to go back to the drawing board.
I guess it just proves the old adage, figures never lie…………………….
