Power Rankings

Bye week power rankings

Admin - November 1, 2011

The bye week is over and the latest power rankings are out. As expected, the new York Jets pretty much stayed where they were a week ago. ESPN kept them at #13. FOX Sports moved them up from #13 to #12. Finally, CBS Sports also moved the Gang Green one spot up - from #20 to #19. The next two games against the Bills and the Patriots will most likely drastically affect the Jets' position in the power rankings as well as their playoff chances.

Here's what the top 3 websites had to say about the Jets:

ESPN:  Two November games against Buffalo could determine the Jets' playoff fate.

FOX Sports: The Jets got their bye week at the perfect time. They have had two weeks to prepare for the two most important games of their season, the Bills and then the Patriots. If they want to control their own playoff destiny, it starts by going 2-0 over the next two weeks.

CBS Sports: They come off their bye with a huge trip to Buffalo. A loss there and their playoff hopes will be badly hurt.
