Another week, another top spot for Green Bay. It's amazing how much better than just about the rest of the league they are.
Elsewhere, the trend of good teams being bad and bad teams being good continues. Before the season, everyone was jumping on the Detroit darkhorse bandwagon. Did anyone see them as a team worthy of receiving a second place vote in Week 4, and sliding in as the fourth best team in the league?
Meanwhile, Atlanta should be challenging New Orleans for the division title, all while holding off Tampa Bay. But, someone forgot to tell them this. They jumped out to an early lead in Seattle, but then had to hold on to squeak by with the two point win. The team just looks out of sorts right now.
This week's largest jump belongs to Tennessee, who rose seven spots from 17 to break the top 10.
The furthest fall was Dallas, who fell five spots from 13 down to 18.
There's an announcement this week, as well. Starting with next week's Power Rankings, we will have a guest ranking the teams as well. Each week, I will randomly choose someone from the comments made on the Power Rankings post. Whomever it is, I will then email and let them know they have been selected. All they have to do, then, is send me an email ranking all 32 teams. Simple right?
As the bye weeks start this weekend, it will be interesting to see what happens when a team doesn't play. Will they move up or down, based on what everyone else is doing?
Make the jump to see the full rankings, and the comments from our contributors.

Green Bay's offense is absolutely on fire right now. The road to the NFC crown goes through Lambeau. (kmb8488) |

Defense picked up the slack Sunday against the Jets. Consitency on offense is still needed, though, as Joe Flacco's completion percentage was horrid in Week 4. (kmb8488) |

The fact that this team isn't playing up to their talent level and is still 3-1 is a good sign, especially for a team notorious for starting slow. (Matty I) |

The Curtis Painter era looked good - for a half. If the Colts get the #1 spot and draft Andrew Luck, the rest of the league should just quit. (Mosul_DolFan) |

This team needs to get Sam Bradford some weapons. Not a good sign when your leading receiver through 4 games is Danario Alexander. (Matty I) |
