Week 5 NFL Rankings

Certainly the most exciting game of week 5 was last night's thriller between the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills. In case you missed it, the Cowboys scored nine points in the final 20 seconds of the game to take a 25-24 win and remain undefeated... Embarrasing losses by the Lions, Seahawks and Broncos on Sunday push them way down in the rankings. How did the Broncos win two games again???

Here are this week’s rankings with last weeks rank in (). Record is only one consideration. I also take into account strength of schedule, strength of victory (or loss) and other intangibles…
