Here's the power rankings for week 2. A few notes:
A lot of big moves this week. It's going to be a couple more weeks before things settle down.
In spite of being 0-2, the Chargers are benefitting from close loses to the #1 and #2 ranked teams. They will probably fall next week, even if they beat the #21-ranked Jets.
In spite of being 2-0, the Packers actually fall a spot. Part of it is the fact that the Vikings and Lions are both 0-2, and the Lions loss last week looking even worse with the Falcons losing by 15 this week. The Packers have their first real test Sunday when the Cowboys come to Lambeau, and should rise in power win or lose.
