NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where all 32 teams stand going into Week 9

We're at about the halfway point of the NFL season and already it appears that all but two divisions are wrapped up.

Can anybody beat New England? Will Seattle rally for a playoff spot, or will the upstart Rams and Vikings take it from them?
