The Oakland Raiders were one of two teams to drop six positions in this week's rankings - thanks to a dominating performance from linebacker Cameron Wake and the Miami Dolphins.
The Oakland Raiders were one of two teams to drop six positions in this week's rankings - thanks to a dominating performance from linebacker Cameron Wake and the Miami Dolphins.

The Week 13 NFL power rankings are out, and the top doesn't change: Green Bay followed by Baltimore. The bottom doesn't change: Indianapolis.

Apparently this week, we all really liked the Arizona win in overtime over Dallas. Arizona made a seven position jump from 26th to 19th.

Oakland and Tampa Bay both dropped six positions, with the Oakland loss to Miami dropping them from 10th to 16th, while Tampa lost to Carolina and fell from 20th to 26th.

Check out the full rankings, and the division power rankings below:

It looks like that vaunted Ravens rush defense has arrived just in time as the team pushes to take the AFC North. (kmb)

Loss of Patrick Willis for a couple weeks won't slow down this defense too much as they look to lock up a first round bye. (Matty)

A team that looks like it's in a tailspin right now. A match-up against the Vikings is just what the doctor ordered. (tcp)

Trailing the Cowboys by a game in the division this week looks to be a make or break game against said Cowboys. (tcp)

Raiders

The Dolphins really smacked a banged up Raiders team around. But still very much in the hunt for a division title. But two tough games loom (@GB, v DET) before finsihing season with divison opponents. (Matty)

Bears

Losing at home to the Tyler Palko-led Chiefs is nothing to joke about. The Bears are in big trouble right now. (kmb)

Chargers

It's division title or bust for Norv Turner and company. One more loss pretty much seals his fate and ends his tenure as SD coach, which lasted far too long to begin with. (Matty)

Cardinals

Oh those scrappy Cardinals - suddenly winners in four of their last five. If nothing else, should be enough to keep their head coach off the hot seat for one more season. (Matty)

Dolphins

A very resurgent but out of the playoff picture Dolphins team looks to play spoiler down the stretch. (tcp)

So much promise at the beginning of the year and now nothing left to play for. (tcp)

Seahawks

Winners of 3 of 4 now host STL on Monday Night Football in what is a big game for the Dolphins in terms of draft position - as odds are Seattle has their eyes on taking a QB in first round. (Matty)

Eagles

Getting Vick back might get them back to winning but I would not bet on it. (tcp)

Chiefs

Talk about some bad luck. The latest injury was to recently added QB Kyle Orton...just one play into his KC career. Sums up the kind of season they're having in KC. (Matty)

Panthers

Cam Newton set the QB rushing TD record this week as the Panthers won. Time to celebrate! (Mosul)

So which of the big name QB's is Shanahan going to draft? (tcp)

Browns

There's no shame in looking anemic against the Ravens in a rain-soaked contest, but the Browns' offense is plain horrific right now. Is Colt McCoy the guy in Cleveland after this season? (kmb)

Jaguars

Good thing the Jaguars don't have to face Phllip Rivers every week. (Mosul)

Vikings

A strong effort from Christian Ponder wasn't enough to derail Tebowmania. Still, Ponder looks like he's going to be a good one for the Vikings. (kmb)

Rams

So many holes to fill makes you wonder if they'd be willing to trade their high draft pick to collect a few more picks. (Matty)

Colts

Garbage time made the Patriots game much closer than it ever was. (Mosul)
