Week 10 By Jordan Raanan, XFINITY NFL Columnist

There was plenty of movement in this week's rankings. What do you expect from a league that has ties?

There is a new No. 1 in town this week. Actually, an old No. 1 is the new No. 1. Oh, whatever. Here comes my preseason pick—the Green Bay Packers! (AP Photos)

(Note: The Raanan Rankings are comprised of a total score for each team from five categories — offense, defense, special teams, quarterback and coaching. The scale for each category ranges from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). Ties for teams with identical points totals were broken based on number of wins, head to head matchups and quarterback ranking.)
