Here we go, the second edition of the Thursday's top ten lists. We'll start with the power rankings

Week 19 NFL Power Rankings

1. Indianapolis Colts (1) 14-2 Last Week: Bye
2. San Diego Chargers (2) 13-3 Last Week: Bye
3. New Orleans Saints (3) 13-3 Last Week: Bye
4. Dallas Cowboys (6) 12-5 Last Week: Beat Philadelphia 34-14
5. Minnesota Vikings (4) 12-4 Last Week: Bye

10. New England Patriots (7) 10-7 Last Week: Lost to Baltimore 33-14

Off This Week: Cincinnati Bengals (8), Philadelphia Eagles (10)

The top three remains the same from last week here. I have confidence in my Cowboys, so I'm giving them the benefit of a doubt and ranking them just ahead of Minnesota. Simialrly, the second best winner in the wild card round, Baltimore, makes a huge jump into the top ten to number six. Arizona gets a small boost to seven, and the Jets by default are number eight. The Packers and Patriots both fall to nine and ten with losses last week, with the other two losers, Cincy and the Eagles, off the list.


Week 11 NBA Power Rankings

1. Cleveland Cavaliers (2) 30-10
2. Los Angeles Lakers (1) 30-9
3. Boston Celtics (5) 27-10
4. Dallas Mavericks (4) 25-13
5. San Antonio Spurs (9) 24-13 Big Jumper of the Week
6. Orlando Magic (3) 26-13 Big Faller of the Week
7. Atlanta Hawks (8) 25-13
8. Portland Trailblazers (6) 24-16
9. Phoenix Suns (7) 24-15
10. Denver Nuggets (NR) 25-14

Off This Week: Houston Rockets (10)

The Cavaliers have been playing better basketball lately than the Lakers and just take over the top spot this week. Boston, with solid play without big stars, jumps to number 3. After Dallas, the Spurs take a big leap with eight wins in their last ten games. Similarly, poor play by the Magic see them drop from three to six this week. Atlanta goes up one to seven, while Portland and Phoenix each fall two spots. Denver, now leading the Northwest, edges out the struggling Rockets to make an appearence on the rankings.


Week 16 NHL Power Rankings

1. San Jose Sharks (1) 30-10-7 67 points
2. Chicago Blackhawks (2) 31-11-4 66 points
3. New Jersey Devils (3) 32-11-1 65 points
4. Buffalo Sabres (7) 28-11-5 61 points Big Jumper of the Week
5. Washington Capitals (5) 28-12-6 62 points

10. Phoenix Coyotes (8) 26-16-5 57 points

Off This Week: Los Angeles Kings (9)

The top three remains the same as the Sharks, Blackhawks, and Devils continue to win. A sudden surge by the Sabres sees them jump three spots all the way to fourth. The former number 4 Flames drop two spots to sixth after the Caps with an underwhleming week. Pittsburgh, also struggling, drops to seven. The Avalanche are hanging in the Northwest and jump to eight. Nashville is also surging and make their first top ten appearence at nine, while Phoenix edges out the limping Kings for the tenth and final spot.

Things are pretty stale at the top, with the top six remaining the same with dance hits and hip hop ruling again. Lady Gaga is at week number two at number one with Bad Romance again edging out Kesha. Do You Remember is up one, and Boys Like Girls is the Big Jumper this week, up two spots to #8. Taylor Swift is AGAIN in the top ten (no complaints from me!!!) at number nine with Fifteen. It's Swift's fourth top ten song, and third top ten song from her Fearless album.
