Taking your suggestions, I asked Matty I, kmb8488, and texascowpunk to help me out with this week's Power Rankings. Each of us ranked all 31 teams, and the average was used to provide the Power Rankings for this week.
Each of us also took two divisions (kmb8488 took the two North divisions, Matty I had the Wests, texascowpunk had the Easts, and I had the Souths), to add comments for each team.
The largest gain of the week goes to the Tennessee Titans, gaining 8 spots.
The largest fall of the week goes to the Jacksonville Jaguars, losing 9 spots.
Let me know if you like this method better:

The offense in Northern Wisconsin has looked stellar (as expected) thus far, but the loss of ace safety Nick Collins is going to be a major problem for the Pack as the season moves forward. (kmb8488) |

Tom Brady, well being Tom Brady. Two games, 940 yards passing, 7 td's and a 128 QB rating has the Pats right back at the top of the NFL. So what else is new? (texascowpunk) |

This team might just be for real. A dismantling of the Colts followed by making the Dolphins look bad, and they are clearly in command of the AFC South. (Mosul_DolFan) |

Bad news for the Jets:they just lost their best offensive player for a few games. Even worse news for the Jets: he's their center. (texascowpunk) |

We're finally seeing what Matthew Stafford is all about, and Calvin Johnson looks unstoppable right now. However, the most impressive thing about the Lions is that their defensive line-arguably the best and most feared in the NFL-hasn't even added rookie defensive tackle Nick Fairley to the mix yet.

Tough loss at Tennessee last week, but the Ravens are still legitimate contenders in the AFC, and have the ability to loads of points in the air and on the ground. The big question right now is whether or not Baltimore's offensive line can stay healthy. (kmb8488) |

Quite the Jekyll and Hyde performance from the Steelers over the last two weeks, though a rout of the Seahawks at home isn't really anything to write home about. The Steelers' porous secondary (outside of Troy Polamalu) continues to cost Pittsburgh against pass-happy opponents, while their ragged, pieced-together offensive line continues to put Ben Roethlisberger in harm's way. There's cause for concern in the Steel City. (kmb8488) |

It's year two of the Mike Martz era in Chicago, and Jay Cutler looks poised to have a breakout season. Unfortunately, the Bears' abominable offensive line will almost certainly snuff out any 2011 heroics from No.6. This should be the last hurrah for Head Coach Lovie Smith and General Manager Jerry Angelo. (kmb8488) |

Not a very good all around team IMO. Romo is still too hot and cold. Week one he looks great before coughing up the game at the end. Week two he brings his team back for an overtime win with broken ribs and a punctured lung. Well at least we know he's tough. (texascowpunk) |

2-0? Did anyone see this coming? Maybe Shanahan knows more then the rest of us when he says Grossman can play and be an effective QB. (texascowpunk) |

At the bottom of the division and near the bottom of the league you can expect some serious house cleaning if things do not change real fast with this team. A coach with a team that has this much talent and performs so poorly does not keep his job for very long. (texascowpunk) |

Fans who inhabit the "Dawg Pound" have some things to be excited about: Payton Hillis looks even stronger this season; Cleveland's secondary has some serious pop in the form of Joe Haden and T.J. Ward; Colt McCoy looks very comfortable at the helm right now; and the Browns' offensive line is nearly unshakeable on the left side. However, many growing pains lay ahead for Cleveland this season, and their defensive front seven is far from a finished product. (kmb8488) |

It's not all bad up in Minnesota, but the Vikings now have no true No.1 wideout, no permanent answer at left tackle, and a ragged, aging defensive line. Despite these major flaws, Minnesota could very easily be 2-0 right now, if not for the Vikings' complete inability to make key defensive stops late against San Diego and Tampa Bay. This shortcoming will likely be a recurring theme in Minnesota throughout the season. (kmb8488) |

Cincinnati Bengals - Andy Dalton looks pretty good thus far, and the Bengals' defensive line can create some serious pressure, but the loss of cornerback Johnathan Joseph will continue to sting as this season progresses. Consistency in the ground game is also a big-time concern for the Bengals right now. (kmb8488) |
