NFL Power Rankings Week 7: Who's The New Number 1?

Week 6 of the 2010 NFL season is in the books and it is that time of the week to update the NFL power rankings.

Why is it that no team can retain the No. 1 spot for more than a week since the New Orleans Saints had it for two straight weeks to start the season? Once again, another No. 1 falls just like the Ohio State Buckeyes (it's not taking a shot because I'm a fan and it still stings a bit) fell after their reign on top for only one week.

Both the Ravens and Falcons lost, flying down from their top two spots in last week's ranking.

Without delay I am Daniel Wolf, Bleacher Report's NFL featured content coordinator, and here are your updated NFL power rankings.
