NFL Rankings - 12 Sep

Big, unexpected blowouts helped the Jets and Ravens make the jump to the top of the rankings this week, with Tampa Bay's equally surprising win over preseason #1 New Orleans on the road pulling them clear up to #3. Chicago's close call against Green Bay on the road pulled them ahead of the Packers due to the adjustment for home field advantage, but I expect many of the anomalies in the rankings to shake themselves out in the coming weeks. For now, enjoy being on top Jets fans, it probably won't last long.
