For you power rankings fanatics that may or may not be UM fans....
Sagarin has updated his ratings for this NFL season now that we're 1/4 of the way in: http://sagarin.com/sports/nflsend.htm
Notables:
- The Bears are the 12th overall and 6th best NFC team behind Detroit, Minnesota, San Fran, Green Bay and Philly, just ahead of Dallas and Atlanta. Feels about right?
- The Bears have played the softest schedule thus far, and have lost the only two games they've played against potential playoff quality teams.
- The NFC North is by far the best division in football this season.
- Weighted by recent play, the Bears are 8th overall, still 4th in the NFC North behind #1 Minny, #4 Detroit and #5 GB.
