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)
I still don't think they are that good.
3. Miami Dolphins +11
(5-3)
Tua and Brian Flores might be a second coming of Brady-Belichick.

(8-1)
15 and 1?
5. Baltimore Ravens
(6-2)
Yeah Lamar Jackson looks different.

Could get to .500 by week 12 and that makes things interesting.

A new season is upon us, and with it comes plenty of intriguing storylines. From massive traves and superstar uncertainty in the East to a West perhaps the deepest it has ever been, here is an early season NBA Power ranking.
