NFL Power Rankings 9/27/2005

Heading into the bye week, the Cleveland Browns moved up one spot to number 27 after losing last week to the Colts. The Colts were 13.5 point favorites and apparently defying those expectations, of horrendous defeat, was good enough to prop the Browns up one more spot in the weekly rankings.

This keeps the Browns out of the bottom five slots, occupied by:

28. San Francisco 49ers
29. Oakland Raiders
30. Arizona Cardinals
31. Green Bay Packers
21. Houston Texans

The top five spots this week are:

1. Indianapolis Colts
2. New England Patriots
3. Philadelphia Eagles
4. Cincinnati Bengals
5. Pittsburgh Steelers

These top five slots could change pretty dramatically depending on the effect of all the health issues in New England and Philadelphia.
