True Updated Power Rankings Week 5:

1. Mike Vick in a Box Baby! (True) 4-0 (1) Remains in first place after embarrassing Crazy. Had the victory locked up without having to use my #1 RB and my #1 WR, even though my #1 WR is fading fast. I retain the #1 spot having half of my wins against top 5 power ranked teams. Anderson is still nipping at that #1 spot. Being able to plug in Brett Favre on Phillip River's bye week when he is facing the Rams is a pretty nice convenience. Also, facing the last place team and lowest point scorer after four games, Mugica, I look to remain undefeated after 5 weeks.

2. Stump the Schaub (Ande) 4-0 (2) Anderson has the highest point total after four weeks, but has yet to face a team in the top five power rankings. His defense beat Bill's entire team, ENTIRE TEAM last week, which I find hysterical. Has a tough match-up against a surging Hurricane Ditka Team that continues to grow. Luckily Ande doesn't have to see Rodgers or Driver and if Eli Manning doesn't go Sunday then Anderson will be facing a free agent pickup. That is my match-up of the week. Anderson has yet to have an away game, so smoke on that knowledge.

3. She can just watch us draft (Gizz) 3-1 (4) Gizz hops up another spot and continues to look good, still only has one loss against the #1 team. Beat Roscher last week in a hard fought battle. Gates two TDs helped out in that night game. Look for him to hold down this spot with a nice match-up against Kiwon this week and a QB facing the Lions D.

4. Off Constantly (Roscher) 2-2 (3) Drops behind Gizz after a loss to him. Has the fourth highest point total in the league so sitting in fourth place makes sense. He might as well throw in the towel this week against Crazy. HE HAS 8 PLAYERS ON A BYE! I guess it is better to sacrifice one week and be strong every other bye week. Notable losses include Forte, V. Jackson, Colston, R. Bush, and Gould. He is really putting all his eggs in that Saints, Bears basket.

5. Hurricane Ditka (Halbert) 3-1 (5) Halbert proves he deserves to be in the top 5 with another victory to bring himself to 3-1. However, his opposition last week scored 34 points, which is the typical luck of the Halbert fantasy squads. Slaton is finally starting to come around makes his team dangerous. This likely will be the last week he gets Coffee being the primary ball carry in that run heavy 49ers offense. Will Halbert get the most out of it??? Who knows, that is why it is the match-up of the week.

6. Whispering Eyes (Vande) 1-3 (10) Vande finally gets his first win and after putting up 89 points in a victory jumps four spots over a couple teams that scored points in the 30s last week. Also, can you beleive Vande has the third highest points after the two undefeated teams? What goes around, comes around. Scarlett Johanson is hot. He'll get back on his feet. Not to mention, Vande finally gets McNabb back this week so his lineup is looking pretty formidable. Steve Smith (Giants) is also looking like another #1 WR for him to go hand in hand with Fitz. I also have him as a shoo-in to beat the team ranked behind him Look at the lineup Bill is putting up against Vande this week Vande will be 2-3 and maintain this coveted last playoff spot projection.

7. Forte Oz. to Freedom (Crazy) 1-3 (8) Crazy moves up a spot following a loss? How is that possible? Have you looked at Bill's lineup? The bottom half of the GOFFL this year is real ugly. Half of the teams are 1-3. Crazy don't get too excited about this ranking, it is kind of by default. MJD and Pierre Thomas are a solid RB core and they could make you competiteve, however, you are going to be struggling to get into the playoffs, like every team behind you...

8. InGoreious Bastards (Edwards) 2-2 (7) Bill is falling fast, real fast. Did you look at his starting lineup from last week!?!??! He has the second lowest point total in the league. Maurice Morris, Donald Brown started, I'll stop right there. Braylon Edwards is now learning a new offense so this upcoming match-up looks real tough.Edwards could benefit from this trade down the road so that is something to be positive about. Deangelo Williams is a second half player?? Maybe. Bill needs a distraction, hey Bill how bout them Hawkeyes!?

9. Flight of the Neckbeards (Aero) 1-3 (6) Man what a boof starting Michael Bush over Mendenhall. Not checking to see that Willie Parker was out and Mendenhall was the primary ball carrier in Pittsburgh is the type of move that gets frowned upon by the commish. I know you were out of town over the weekend but calling a friend or something might have been a good idea. Also, owning a computer instead of two tvs also might help your fantasy prowess in this league. However, your team looks good with McFadden out, Bush probably getting some carries and Mendenhall coming into his own. However, when Brees struggles so do you. Brees on a bye this week, keep your fingers crossed. Luckily you are playing...

10. Five on the Yo (Karalis) 1-3 (9) Karalis drops a spot after a loss. I get to this point in my rankings and just don't even feel like it is worth my time to talk about these teams. Steven Jackson is a great player on a terrible team, so that really hurts. However, with the amount of time they give him the ball in a game he is bound to do something soon. If I had him in my work league I would be swimming in the points, 2 points for every touch. (That was a reference to one of my other leagues, I just wanted to prove I deserved that GOFFLE to those of you who don't follow me on twitter or check my gchat status) Peyton Manning is a stud, Ochcocinco is getting TDs with Palmer back this year. I could see things possibly turning around for KRal with the weak competition in the bottom half of the GOFFL.

11. Powerhouse of Deliverance (Kiwon) 1-3 (12) Kiwon jumps a spot with his first W last week. Jay Cutler could become a solid starting Qb following the Bears bye week. Watching Tomlinson run last Sunday night was difficult. He looked like an old man, it was against a tough Steelers D though. So that is one positive takeaway. McGahee came back down to earth last week. I don't see this team making the playoffs.

12. Front Yard Election Signs (Mugica) 1-3 (11) Mugica has the least amount of points after four weeks. After losing to Kiwon he falls behind him in the power rankings. Mugica desperately needs Turner to turn on the burners in the 3/4 of the season remaining. Has a real tough matchup against the #1 team this week. Has the luck of facing Adrian Peterson when he is going up against the lowly Rams. Don't expect Mugica to relinquish this spot any time soon.
