Fitzsimmons NFL Rankings Week 3: "Change" The Order Of The Week

When studying the statistics after week two, there were many teams that made big changes. That is often the case early on in the season when the swings affect the statistics more.

After compiling the list though, in my opinion, there aren't too many teams out of place. We knew there was a possibility Seattle wouldn't last long at #1, and was San Diego really as bad as their #24 Ranking stated? Things changed this week.

#32 Carolina Panthers(0-2)
