Hey I got the top 7 pegged.

I'm the highest on Tampa it looks like, I'll explain why they are 8 for me:

Tampa's defense is great and they would have won last week had Garcia not had a couple bad fumbles. Garcia is getting it done man he's playing better then I ever would have expected him to, no interceptions and plenty of big plays. I thought his success with the Eagles in the latter part of last year was the supporting cast around him but this Tampa team in my opinion is a slight downgrade in offensive talent and yet he's still finding the open man and making great plays. If Tampa keeps it up I see them winning the NFC South. Only real worry I see right now is running back but so far they've been filling the void on the most part.

The Barometer is an average of the rankings submitted by these members. To maintain consistency, the high and low scores have been removed.

Huh? What about only removing a score if its say 10 points higher or lower than any other ranker's score?

Top 10 looks right on. After that, it gets wonky. Detroit is the biggest pretender to the crown, ever.

Hm just noticed Baltimore and Detroit are both 11th. They are tied with a 12.9 average rank, who wins the tiebreaker?

Actually, that happens fairly often. It's just been left a tie in the past.

That's the way it was the whole time last season and has been this season since week 2 I think. It's a fairly common way to do averages to decrease variances in one person's rankings.
