As much as I struggled to assemble my top-five rankings last week, I think I made the right decisions with my selections. My top choice, the Packers, dealt out serious woodshed treatment to the Titans. My No. 2, the Falcons, wrapped up homefield throughout with an easy win at Detroit. I had the 49ers at No. 3, while many felt they were deserving of No. 1 after winning at New England, but they got trounced at Seattle.

Here’s what this week’s rankings look like…
