Most important day of the week is Monday to see power rankings. Where do you see the bears

ESPN - week 4 (bears 18)
I see the bears breaking the top 10 here (considering TB was 13) I say bears come in at 9

NFL - week 4 (bears 17)
NFL has been more bullish on the bears this year so far, disregarding the previous ranking. I see NFL outing the bears at 6 on their list


What do you guys think?

There are still too many good teams to put us in the top 10 yet. I would put us around 12-14.

ESPN will only have us drop one in the rankings............Redskins had an impressive bye week so they should move up one.....

And Dallas beat Detroit on a last second FG at home, so they should move into their top 5 easy...

My favorite teams
  1. Los Angeles Lakers
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Los Angeles Kings
  1. Clemson Tigers
We should be in at least the top 8 but that’ll never happen. We are 1 dropped pick away from 4-0.

Disagree. So few good teams, and Bears essentially an Eddie Jackson pass deflection/Kyle Fuller INT away from being a legit 4-0 team.

I could name you 10 teams that I think we would struggle against. We won against Tampa Bay, Seattle and BARELY beat 0-4 Arizona. We have not beat anyone good.

Who the hell have we beat to merit top 10? 0-4 Arizona? A struggling Seahawks? Tampa? We need to beat some good teams. Arizona is 32nd in the power rankings and we could only beat them 14-12.

Don't really care about power rankings, but DVOA is interesting to look at at least. Bears were 10th overall this week, 1st in defense, 27th in offense, 9th in ST. Interested to see how those change after this week.

I’m still trying to figure out how the bears aren’t listed as 2nd to last considering they are the browns of the NFC.

Bears beat Bucs....same team that beat the Saints and the Eagles

Tampa also allowed 40 points against them in the win vs. Saints. Also, brings me back to my original argument. We barely beat Arizona 14-12. They are 32nd in the power rankings. I cannot see us being a top 10 team until we prove that we can beat good teams. We need to beat an Arizona by more than 2 points.

Have to be Top 10, I would say 8 right now, and moving in the right direction.

I get what you are saying, however, there are only 9 3-1 teams or better. I would think we should have nod over any 2-2 team other than maybe he patriots

Nah. 2-2 Eagles are definitely better than us.
