Belly up and tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waitress, and try the knoephla soup We’ve been getting our Power Rankings Roundup out on Tuesdays in recent weeks, but real-life events forced me to move it back to today. In any case, the Minnesota Vikings are still coming off an impressive victory last week over the Detroit Lions and are now well into their bye week. How did the team’s first divisional win of the season affect their standing with the pollsters around the interwebs? Let’s take a look in this week’s Power Rankings Roundup!Associated Press: #8 (Last week: #9)No Vikings-centric commentary from the AP this week.Walter Cherepinsky, Walter Football: #12 (Last week: #13)Nothing new from Walter Football this week.SB Nation: #11 (Last week: #13)Bleacher Report: #8 (Last week: #9)Frank Schwab, Yahoo! Sports: #8 (Last week: #8)Mike Florio Stefon Diggs Jersey , Pro Football Talk: #8 (Last week: #9)The MMQB, Sports Illustrated: #8 (Last week: #9)ESPN: #8 (Last week: #8)Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: #8 (Last week: #9)Elliot Harrison, NFL.com: #8 (Last week: #8)USA Today: #8 (Last week: #9)Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: #8 (Last week: #9)Well, nine was the magic number last week for the Vikings, and this week the big number is eight. As in, ten of the twelve sets of rankings we bring together to do our Roundup put the Vikings as the eighth-best team in the National Football League. The only two outliers were the folks from the mothership (#11) and Walter Football (#12).Nine of the twelve sets of rankings we use moved the Vikings up this week, while three of them held the Vikings steady at their previous spot. As a result, the average position for the Vikings went up almost a full spot, from 9.42 last week to 8.58 this week.Here is your graphical representation of the rankings for the Vikings thus far. It still isn’t back to the lofty heights it was earlier in the season, but it’s getting closer.Barring a rash of upsets of the teams above the Vikings in the rankings, I wouldn’t expect them to move too much because of the bye this week. But, I suppose stranger things have happened, so we’ll see how it goes when we’re back here for next week’s Roundup. « Buy Top Best Sumac OnlineMany players comment on typically the lively and rich story of The Elder Sc... » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
