NFL power rankings are such an interesting exercise. In all honesty, they don’t mean a whole lot and they arbitrarily change from week to week. Why do we do them? It’s fun and interesting to compare teams on a weekly basis.
The Vikings are one of those teams that have been slotted all over the place throughout the season. Despite a 9-1 start, some analysts still had them towards number 10 while others ranked them at number one. All they needed to do to convice the national media that they were good is beat another team with some conviction. They haven’t done that since week one and that’s the issue.
This week’s power ranking are a lot of the same, but the blurbs from the analysts are what’s worth reading this week.
