Power Rankings are BS, but...

I never want to be #1 in the Power Rankings because there's only one way to go...down.

I know many have trepidations on this offense, how we suck, I've seen benching Murray screams, etc.

Yet, we're 6-0.

Connor Orr had us at #2 yesterday.

ESPN has us today at #3.

Murray remains the most significant acquisition they made despite his individual performance being uneven in five games. The Vikings have won all of his starts, and there are some signs that he is settling in. His QBR since Week 5 (75.1) ranks sixth in the NFL, powered in part by nine scrambles that gained 94 yards and converted four third downs. -- Kevin Seifert

Despite having an almost historic defense, we have fans here who would complain if they were hung with a new rope (cowboy saying about chronic complainers).

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Don't worry, Colin Cowherd had us at like 13th last week and we will probably be the same this time. Just use his rankings and you won't have to feel anxiety.

6-0

Week 7 claimed two of the three remaining undefeated teams in the NFL, leaving the Vikings as the last unbeaten squad standing. They climbed to the mountaintop by winning in their familiar fashion, with defense leading the way. Brian Flores’ unit is unquestionably elite and getting more creative with its approach each week. If the offense ever catches up, Minnesota will become a strong Super Bowl favorite.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Speaking of which...didn't we start the season around #16 or so? Total middle of the pack?

If we get to 13 or 14 wins I can see media pundits petitioning the NFL to change the playoff criteria from win percentage to power rankings.
