NFL Rankings After Week 5
SITW NFL Rankings after week 5. (Last weeks rankings.)
No changes in the top 7 this week. New Orleans and Tampa Bay flip flop at 8 and 9. The biggest movers were Oakland and Indianapolis, in opposite directions of course. Oakland is up 5 spots to number 17 after beating Houston and Indianapolis falls 6 spots to number 21 after losing to lowly Kansas City. Indianapolis is the first team to five losses, but probably only because Miami and St. Louis had bye weeks.
And finally, for the first time all season we have a new team at the bottom. Congratulations Denver Broncos!

Projected playoffs after week 5. Nothing changes in the AFC except for the 6 seed: The Jets are out and Buffalo is in. Unlike the AFC, there are some big moves in the NFC. I now haveNew Orleans as the 2 seed, which drops Tampa Bay to the second wild card slot. San Francisco moves up from the 4 seed to the 3 seed, and, after two weeks out of the projected playoffs, Washington is back in as a 4 seed after the Giants disgraceful loss to the Seahawks.
| Seed | AFC | NFC |
| 1 | New England | Green Bay |
| 2 | Baltimore | New Orleans |
| 3 | San Diego | San Francisco |
| 4 | Tennessee | Washington |
| 5 | Pittsburgh | Detroit |
| 6 | Buffalo | Tampa Bay |
Cheers.
