NFL Power Rankings, Week 11: Patriots storm into top 10 after impressive win; Packers, Steelers slip

Just how high can Drake Maye's Patriots climb? Are the Packers in real trouble? Eric Edholm takes stock of the NFL hierarchy in his Week 11 Power Rankings. Check out the full pecking order, 1-32.

Here are the NFL.com rankings. Feel free to post the rankings you have seen.

This has us at 1 and the Rams at 2 making this weeks matchup huge nationally. Too bad it likely won’t get that kind of television coverage.

Here’s a gem from TSN that doesn’t have us top 10. It has the Stealers (who we bitch slapped in their house) and their Medicare qualified QB in the top ten tho.

Oh shoot. Thats week 10, my bad. Still bs tho.

 

[AROS]

That's literally laughable.

It really brings home how meaningless these are besides something to get outraged about. Now, that we're #1-4 in most power rankings, I feel like "hmmm ok, I want to win the SB, though".

I like this RES chart. Seems more realistic than many power rankings out there. Gets updated weekly, and this is the first time this season Seattle's had the highest RES score:

^^^ Like how that chart says "Titanic Failure" there at the bottom. Brutal.

RES being... what?? I can't find ANY metric that references this... except for a single player... not a team etc... is this just a average of all players then on the team or?

I made AI scrub the web and it has no clue what RES is either based on that twitter

It's a very strange year. With only a couple of exceptions, almost all the pre-season favorites/darlings have shown some glaring weakness to them so far...

--Philly...they're just a schematic and psychological mess of a team now, in spite of their talent
--49ers...injury plagued and a QB controversy
--Bucs...looked hot and Baker an MVP candidate out of the gate, but then come quickly back down to earth
--Packers...look like they have everything going for them, but their offense suddenly becomes offensive
--Bills...did you really just get gob-smacked by the Dolphins?
--Ravens...everyone's SB darling...say no more
--Bengals...Burrow down again...hope gone...poof
--Chiefs...you fear them till they're knocked off...but 5-4?...and they may be fighting for a wild card spot?
--Texans...great D...but their offense had been a no-show
--Lions...get decisively beaten by the Packers and Chiefs...two of the teams supposedly standing in their way

The only preseason favorites/darlings who have held up their end of the bargain so far have been the Rams, possibly the Chargers, and the Eagles, but only by record, and they look like a mess otherwise.

That leaves the surprise teams: The Broncos, the Colts, the Patriots, and us, the Seahawks.

That's what makes this game coming up so interesting and exciting. The Rams are about the best looking team of the pre-season favorites/darlings, and we are, along with the Colts and Patriots, the most believable of the surprise teams.

Is this for real? You would have to be a moron to leave us off this and put the suck ass Stealers on it.

Looks like Relative Efficiency Score (RES) is an obscure team metric that apparently compares a team's offense and defense to that of prior SB teams. In the thread to the above X link, the poster offers the not-very-helpful explanation of: Relative Efficiency Score. EPA broken down by offense, defense, run, and pass and weighted into a composite score based on what correlates best with Super Bowl teams over the last two decades..."

I've seen this RES chart updated weekly since the beginning of the season and would like to see the actual formula, but again, it's definitely not an "official" metric, so I wouldn't give it much thought. I simply considered, in this week's RES chart, the teams scoring/ranking relative to each other to seem pretty logical compared to team ranking charts many other sources put out.
