Here at the ICT Zone, our power rankings are based on a very simple philosophy. "To be the man you gotta beat the man", if a lower ranked team beats a higher ranked team, then the two teams automatically swap spots regardless of results from prior weeks.
Week 9 had the Buccaneers at first, but that is no longer the case after their blowout loss to the Saints. The Saints have slowly started making a real case as one of the Super Bowl favorites. The Dolphins also slide into our top 3 after taking down the Cardinals. The Dolphins might really be the real deal.
Next week there are a variety of exciting matchups.
1. New Orleans Saints +5
(6-2)
Aight, maybe this is the last year of the Super Bowl window.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
(8-0)

Guys, I am devastated. I let you all down last year. It was right under my nose that UConn would win the championship, but I missed it due to poor data collection.
