Per Tyler's request...give us your NFL Power Rankings so far. In other words rank the teams. Who do you think are the best and if you choose the worst. Rank the top 5, rank the top 4 in each conference, or rank all 32. You choose. Please post.

Seahawks vs Patriots
Well I loved all the activity my last post brought. That is what this site needs to be! So this is an interactive topic as well and one that even Zach will comment on I'm sure. We must bring him in to the discussions because clearly baseball and fantasy football will not work.
Who will win the Patriots @ Seahawks game this weekend? Give us your thoughts! Here are mine...
Seattle fan or not one must admit the Seahawk D is doing work this year. Currently, I'm about to poop my pants as I write, Seattle is #1 in yards per game allowed in the NFL. Wow! Versus the pass, which they will see much of I'm sure, they rank 4th. Against the run 3rd and overall scoring 2nd. Holy crap! Better than I thought and I knew based on some fantasy stats that Seattle was tough. So obviously the matchup is the NE offense vs the upstart and potentially dominant Seahawk D. Well...guess what team is 1st league wide in offensive yards per game??? Right, New England. Wow, this is a mighty matchup. Much more than I thought. Both teams are 3-2 but this maybe the best game of the year so far at least in terms of games that probably won't get all the hype that others will. Interestingly enough, NE is not just passing this year. They rank 10th "threw" the air and more impressively 3rd on the ground. Scoring is 1st and of course it helps to play Buffalo who essentially for NE is like the wood I've been chopping lately...it splits real easy. Bottom line here is that this should be a great game. And Seattle has certainly arrived as a contender. Anytime you have a defense like this you are a contender. Debate that alone Tyler Greenwood. Side challenge there. But back to the point at hand. One must consider maybe the Brady vs Carroll's D won't be the key matchup. Maybe it will be whether or not Seattle can score vs New England. At Tennessee in week 1 the Pats D gave up 13 points to a Locker led O. In week 3 they gave up 31 to a Flacco led O and in week 4 28 to a Fitzpatrick led O. A Wilson led offense??? Well NE's run D isn't bad so Wilson will have to make plays in the passing game. I see the Seahawks scoring 17. Can Brady lead his team to score more than 17 when Seahawks Stadium will be a rockin? I say no. In fact I say NE goes without a TD. 17-15 Seattle.

Interactive Time...
Time for all of you to post your opinions. A simple answer will do or an elaborate response. Rapid fire, seven questions...here we go!
- Who are you picking to win the World Series?
Cincinnati Reds: I don't follow baseball too much but know that the league is becoming more about defense and pitching than home runs. The Reds have given up the least runs of any playoff team so I'm going with them.
- Which NFL QB will finish with the most fantasy football points this season?
My original pick was Aaron Rodgers. He sits around 15th place now in most leagues. But, I'm sticking with my pick. While Matt Ryan is on a torrid pace and RG3 is a duel threat I firmly believe Rodgers will be the guy. Not only will he have more games like last week where he throws 4 TDs, but he'll end the season with 6-7 rushing TDs also.
- Will West Virginia win the Big 12 in football this season?
Looking at their schedule there is no reason why not. So yes. This weekend may be their toughest test at Texas. But, if my memory serves me correct they get Kansas State, Oklahoma, and TCU at home. Plus they score like 60 points a game. Worth watching really.
- Will the undefeated Arizona Cardinals make the playoffs?
I didn't include them in my picks at the beginning but did write that they could surprise and supplant the Niners. And I did tell Greenwood on Marianne's back porch that they were better than people thought. So...YES I do think they'll make the playoffs. They'll have to win a game like tomorrow's at St. Louis to get it done and defeat SF at least once. I think they will.
- Should Miguel Cabrera win the AL MVP award?
Yes! He's going to win the Triple Crown. Only 16 other players have ever done that and none since 1967. That's crazy talk right there. How can a person says he's not more valuable than any other player to his team on a daily basis?
- Do you like the MLB's extra Wild Card game?
Yes! Playoffs should dumb down the competition and this won't. It's only one game and the teams fighting each other are good teams. Each of them deserve a shot at winning in the postseason after competing this well for 162 games.
- Will Alabama go undefeated?
Yes! What hasn't happened in college football for awhile? Back to back folks. And who will stop Bama? LSU? Nah. This is about Nick Saban and the dynasty he has at the moment. I hate to say it but Bama will go undefeated. Even still, they should have to earn a national championship by defeating other conference champions in a national tournament. Crazy concept I know.
