NFL Predictions Week 5 2019

This is an odd week in the NFL it feels like.  Several teams might be missing key players, and some teams have hit hard walls after looking great to start the season.  The Ravens tumbled in the power rankings this week after just a dreadful showing against the Browns, and the program doesn't like their odds heading to Pittsburgh.  The Panthers have had a huge boost with Kyle Allen, and could make up some ground in the NFC South.

NFL Power Rankings Week 5 2019

The program is still experiencing a bit of noise now as the NFL wrapped up Week 4, and we'll probably see more volatility next week before it settles down.  The Pats and Chiefs both remain at the top, while the Ravens take a dramatic fall after losing back to back weeks.  The Cowboys remain near the top 5, but their showing against the Saints really generates some question marks for them going forward.

College Football Power Rankings Week 6 2019

We've moved into the period now where preseason adjustments have all been essentially been eliminated from the program, and all that's left is ow teams have actually performed.  There are still a few oddities in here thanks to the fact that some teams have played only a couple of other FBS teams, but the noise will quiet down a bit more in the next couple weeks.  Surprising to see Ohio State as Number 1, but they have really just beaten the snot out of every team they've played.
