I recently found this handy site that collects the rankings from all of the top sites in one place, then averages them. Should save effort when putting these threads together in the future! (However, it doesn't include the accompanying comments from each site.)

we should be above Ravens
we did better vs NE & Eagles than they did
and the Jets beat the dolphins, who were crushed by the 49ers, who lost to the vikings, who was beaten by the Colts, who lost to the bears who also crushed the Rams, but was spanked by the packers, who "lost" to the Seahawks...who we defeated.
That is all.
Dolphins haven't played 9ers yet this year.

agreed. The Ravens are the only team I think we MAY be better than ATM. But 5 is still plenty fair IMO~5 is fair.
We honestly dont deserve to be any higher ATM.
You can just point to the record and say undefeated! Its the quality of wins.
Look at the Texans. Theyve played nobody and are 4-0. We (of all the 4-0 teams) have by far the biggest victories, but havent looked impressive in any of them (save Philly).
49ers lost to a very good 3-1 Vikings team and have dominated everyone else theyve played. They, despite being 3-1, are better than us. Falcons offense is infinitley better than ours. The Texans, overall, are much more consistent.
So ranked in at 5 is a good spot I agree with.
That's a pretty good link. Thanks for posting that!
