Media Credit: ROD MAR/ KRT THE TIGER LEAVES THE CAGE: Former Bengal Corey Dillion ran away against the Seahawks and said that he was proud to be in a team that always finds ways to win.

1. Patriots: alright, after trying to avoid doing this all season, I have to concede that 20 wins is very impressive. The Pats beat the Seahawks last week and made a believer out of me; they are the best team out there right now.

2. Eagles: they played a terrible game against the Panthers, and they were lucky that Carolina has become a shadow of their former team. Any team that can score 30 points with their quarterback throwing only one touchdown and having only 10 first downs is a very good team.

3. Vikings: If Duante Culpepper continues to perform at this level, this potent offense might cause some trouble for the top two teams of the rank come playoff time. The Vikes are playing with their fourth string running back, and they are still winning games.

4. Colts: They had a bye week, but they lost one spot to the Vikings.

5. Jets: The Jets are off to their first ever five wins and no losses start. That's impressive considering that many people doubted if this team could even make the playoffs. They might challenge the Pats for the AFC East title, if they can stay healthy.

6. Broncos: this team looks more impressive every week, but they still have Jake Plummer leading the way. They have played very well, even without Quentin Griffin.

7. Giants: I am sure lots of people won't understand this one, but hey, this team is 4-1 and no one can explain it. They have played well, and Kurt Warner and Tiki Barber have stepped up their leadership of this mediocre team.

8.Steelers:Ben Rothesliberger has given this team and city something to look forward to. The rookie QB is undefeated as a starter and this team's potential seems sky high.

9. Seahawks: After dropping two games to good teams I am starting to question whether this team can really compete with the big dogs. Another loss next week will definitely knock them out of the top ten.

10.Rams: Watching these guys roll over the weak Bucs after beating the Seahawks is proof that this is a solid team worth keeping your eye on. Bulger has really taken over this team and is leading them to good wins.
