I really Question if there is a Top 10 in the NFL.
My other question is what is going to happen when come team RUNS up the score on ""hoodies"" team ? Suppose the colts are up 38-7 on sunday, and with a 4th and two... Peyton comes back in and throws a TD pass to Marvin ?

I agree that the Eagles will give the Cowgirls all they can handle this weekend. One area in which I think you are wrong is when you question team's rankings because of who beat them. Example. The Birds crushed the Lions, a team who has defeated the Bears twice. Yet the Bears beat the Birds. So with that said, Eagles>Lions>Bears>Eagles??? Like someone has said before, it's the top two teams, then a scramble each week between the rest. Hell, one can argue that if the Birds had a half competent punt returner at the time, they would have beaten the now 6-1 Packers. Also, had the refs not pulled that penalty out of obscurity (false start if the QB never touches the snap), the Eagles would have beaten the Bears. Football is a game of inches and what if's. Teams that deserve to win, win. Plain and simple.
Injuries, hot streaks, weather, home field advantage, etc., etc. have a large say in the matter.
So, what I am saying, in effect, is that rankings mean less of a $hit when it comes to what team will show up any given sunday. Look at the Steeler's a few years ago. Made the playoffs by the skin of thier teeth, only to make som real noise in the playoffs.
And BTW, the Titans are alot better than most people give them credit for. Fisher is one of the best at interchanging players and not skipping a beat. Probably the best team that noone has heard of. No real superstars, just 53 guys that go out and play a grinding style of football.
