Our rankings are molded after Ric Flair's famous quote "to be the man, you gotta beat the man." The week's ranking are based solely on the week's results so if a lower ranked team defeats a higher ranked team, the two teams automatically swap rankings.
Last week, we mentioned the Browns moving closer to our preseason prediction of 8 wins. Well, the Browns won again and are one win closer to their first none losing season in 11 years.
