This week, I'll be stealing a Bill Simmons bit and doing my Power Rankings in groups. You could probably make arguments to flip-flop teams within each grouping, but the seperation between teams is starting to become obvious. Without further ado, your Week 10 Rankings.
.
THE FAVORITE
1. Shawn (8-2, W1, Previous #1)
-He probably didn't need Willie Parker and Jon Kitna to win this thing, but now he's got them. Randy Moss plays on Sunday Night Football the next two weeks, and will be a touchdown machine.
JUST A NOTCH BELOW
2. Rich (7-3, W2, Previous #4)
-Laurence Maroney will score a touchdown sooner or later. That drought can't last all season.
3. Slims (7-3, L1, Previous #2)
-LJ could be out for the rest of the season and if Norv Turner had any semblance of a scrotum, Philip Rivers would be holding a clipboard for the next couple of games while Billy Volek started.
FLYING UNDER THE RADAR
4. Hefty (6-4, L1, Previous #3)
-Only a serious contender with Adrian Peterson back healthy by playoff time.
5. Aaron (7-3, W1, Previous #5)
-Still seems a piece or two short. With a very strong bench, Aaron needs to make a deadline deal to strengthen his starting lineup.
6. Shelby (5-5, W3, Previous #8)
-Not as dangerous when his kicker doesn't score 21 points.
SNEAKING IN THE BACK DOOR
7. Craig (4-6, W2, Previous #10)
-Brian Westbrook makes Craig the most dangerous in this grouping.
8. Jordan (5-5, L1, Previous #6)
-If he makes the playoffs, he's at least got the potential of a big Peyton-Reggie Wayne day to spring an upset.
9. Mike (4-6, L2, Previous #7)
-Uncertainty at the running back spot with Marshawn Lynch's bum ankle will likely be the kiss of death.
ON AN IRON LUNG
10. Adam (3-7, W1, Previous #11)
-If he can somehow grab two or three more wins to close out the year, he's got the league's most terrifying player to help him make some noise.
11. Deewaan (3-7, L2, Previous #9)
-Steven Jackson's starting to play like a first round pick, unfortunately it's about 8 weeks too late.

BETTER LUCK IN 2008
12. Melvin (1-9, L7, Previous #12)
-Craig and I are the only ones lucky enough to get two games against Melvin this season. Thanks ESPN!!!

After I upset the Junk Jabbers this weekend, I'll be sneaking in your backdoor Jonny Boy!
PSU took one in the back door.
So Craig, which bowl are we going to now?
Galleryfurniture.com?
Alamo or Champs Sports.
Possible opponents - Alamo - Texas Tech, Okie State, Mizzou, Nebraska/Colorado.
Champs Sports - Clemson, FSU, Wake Forest, loser of UVA/Va Tech.
Funny things I noticed during the PSU game:
1. MSU students shaking their keys in the 3rd quarter when they were still losing. If we would have warmed up and boarded the bus then as they suggested, we would have won.
2. Realizing I can't remember a single time Morelli led a high-pressure game winning drive in the 4th quarter of any game.
3. Being excited that I won't have to watch PSU get embarrassed on New Year's and then have to travel all the way back to CT shameful and tired.
Feel free to add...
#3...i hear ya buddy.
