No change at the bottom of the rankings - are those teams thinking about the draft already?

A few teams making nice little jumps in the rankings - this usually means they had a lop-sided victory. Cincinnati had the biggest jump, from 15th to 9th. It will be harder to make this sort of jump, the higher they go.

It makes sense that the team that the Bengals beat (Chicago) had the biggest drop, along with the Falcons. It was surprising that the Falcons dropped six places but the team that beat them (Dallas) kept their same spot.
