Well, I had them ahead of Dallas after week 1, and have not done anything to warrant taking them out of that spot. They are better than you think.

I wanted to add to this.

Denver is +30 on their point differential, Dallas is +33. Not too much difference. This is why I had difficulty with 1a / 1b comment. I just think that Dallas actually has a weaker D. Right now the stats won't show it, but SD and NO are both explosive offenses that Denver had to face, Dallas faced GB (whose offense is overrated IMO) and the Phily offense looked amazing vs Dallas, but I feel that was more because the Dallas D is suspect. The Eagles only scored 15 vs the Steelers. So right now, Dallas has to wait another week and see what happens.

After a loss to KC are they still gonna be in the top 10? Denver is garbage, can stop the run or pass and you got Jay Cutler playing a poor man's John Elway.

Sorry JSarno, got two posts mixed up when I responded to yours...GTripp had philly ahaead of dallas.....when I look at your poll, I think that you obviously have many of the best teams up near the top (at least the ones who have played the best so far), but I want to see Denver have a dominating performance to be #1 or even #2 or #3, because if Hoculli had made the right call in week 2, they might not be 3-0.....also, seeing San Diego lay 49 against the Jets screws up my poll....thanks for your response

No problem.
San Diego jumps to 11 on my poll right now. They dominated an average team. They are likely on their way to the top, but right now they are on the outside looking in.
About the blown call, you're right, but "what-ifs" can't be a factor when doing a power poll. Blown call or not, Denver won. Every game has a "questionable" call that could change the outcome. The fact that San Diego "almost" won is the reason they are 11 on my poll.
