Hawk Blogger 2009 Power Rankings Week 5

The Hawks make a major climb up the charts after their blowout. You won’t see this kind of movement in other rankings as mine are strongly influenced by point differential. That said, popular opinion-based rankings, like those of ESPN had New England ranked higher than the Broncos. I haven’t...
