Week 6 By Jordan Raanan, XFINITY NFL Columnist

And then there was one. Undefeated that is.

The NFL wanted parity. It got it. More like mediocrity, actually. Almost half the league is 3-3. There are only two teams in the AFC with a winning record. Is there anybody good out there? They're making it awfully hard for me to do these rankings. (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.)
