Power Rankings

Jets continue moving up in power rankings

Admin - September 29, 2009

The undefeated New York Jets moved further up in power rankings this week, as two of three major sports websites now have them in the top 5. The Gang Green's position remained unchanged on FOX Sports where they are #5, just like last week. CBS Sports has them up to #5 from #6 a week ago. And only ESPN has the Jets outside of the top 5 - up to #6 from #8 a week ago.

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

ESPN: The Jets team that beat the Titans on Sunday might have more staying power than the 8-3 Jets that beat Tennessee in 2008.

FOX Sports: WORSE THAN RECORD: Are the Jets a big tease, overrated and destined for a major fade? No. They will challenge for a playoff spot and the AFC East title. But Mark Sanchez will have a few rookie moments before he's through this season and the Jets still haven't faced any major road test ... until Week 4, that is. Tune in next week.

CBS Sports: Rex Ryan loves a challenge. He has one this week in the Saints offense. For Mark Sanchez, it will be his first major road test. The Superdome will be loud. Does he go to 4-0?
