I tend to underestimate how many new readers we pick up each week in this column, and in the last few weeks I've heard from some readers that they don't quite follow what the various charts and stats mean. For those of you new here, you can get an explanation of what all these tables mean.
The general consensus among pundits league-wide is while the Chargers win in Pittsburgh was indeed impressive, the question of "where has this team been all along?" is very prevelent, as is the consensus that Norv is still gone at the end of the year. This isn't exactly earth-shattering news, we've echoed those same exact sentiments here at BFTB, but that's what people are saying about the Chargers.

Observations:
- Last week, Houston was the unanimous number-1 team. The Patriots embarrassed them this week, so naturally New Englands get sto assume the throne.
- Who has been the bigger disappointment this year: Chargers or Eagles?
- Hey, remember when the Cardinals beat the Patriots in week 2, in Foxboro? That was fun.
- Chargers rose in the rankings more than the Steelers fell.
- The Colts keep rising, much to my chagrin. Apparently people tend to forget the Colts had this season's second-easiest schedule (according to Football Outsiders).

Observations:
- Yes, it's unanimous that the Patriots are number 1
- Neat, pretty good consensus on the Rams being kind of average.
- Also pretty good consensus in the Buccaneers being bottom-half.
- Giants and Packers duking it out for positioning.
- Chiefs no longer unanimously the worst team in the league.
- What do Mark Sanchez and the Jets' power rankings have in common? They're both very inconsistent.

Observations:
- I've seen calls for me to drop certain Objective sources because some people feel they throw a wrench into the rankings and really skew the results. But there's a reason I use more ranking systems: they all have different criteria. If there's not an agreement on a team's ranking, then it means they aren't doing things consistently well one way or another. If there is agreement, then they are a more consistent team. Also, you could point to each one of the objective rankings where they're the outlier in at least one instance. I can't get rid of all the objective sources.
- Kind of funny how the 49ers are the top-ranked team in Objective Rankings, even though not one site ranked them in first place.
- Interesting: the Titans, Jaguars and Chiefs all dropped 0.375 spots this week, while the Raiders rose the same amount.
- On the subjective side of things, the Colts rose over 1 full spot. On the objective side of things, they only rose 1/8th of one spot (0.125).
- Chargers only rose 0.250 this week despite a strong-looking showing against Pittsburgh.
- Steelers on the other hand dropped 2.5 spots.

Observations:
- At least the Chiefs are consistent about being bad.
- Holy crap are the Panthers still all over the board. From 3rd to 32nd depending on the ranking site.
- If you took the two outliers out of there, the Colts actually are one of the most-consistently-ranked teams at ~25th.

Observations:
- 17 teams rose in positioning this week. 15 teams dropped in ranking.
- 7 NFC teams in the top-12, 5 AFC teams. Are the Steelers a top-12 team? Well, technically they're ranked outside the top-12, but they're the 12th-highest-ranked team on the board.
- If we're getting technical, there are only 11 teams ranked 12th or better. 7 NFC teams and 4 AFC teams.
- Wow, could the Lions and Panthers be any more analogous this week?
- 8 of the bottom 10 teams are in the AFC.

Observations:
- The Colts' disparity is growing each week. Now they're over-ranked by over 12 spots. That's almost a 40% over-ranking.
- The Vikings are the next over-ranked team and it's not even that close at 4.727.
- The last time a team was over-ranked nearly as much as the Colts are was when the 2010 Chiefs were over-ranked by about 10 spots late in the season. We all know what happened to them.
- Chargers have definitely settled in now. Their objective and subjective rankings are within 0.5 spots of each other.
- Carolina — the Chargers' next opponent — is one of the most under-ranked teams.
- 9 of the 10 most under-ranked teams are in the NFC.
