Post here the week 6 power rankings you find. This morning on his ESPN Football Today podcast, Ross Tucker put the Niners at #4, saying that they are doing this year what he thought they were going to do last year. PFT put the Niners at #4: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/18/week-six-power-rankings-2/ ""Hacksaw" Jim Harbaugh should dispense with the post-game handshake and go with a simple thumb's up."

Says week 9 for me...and literally just now did LCF's update.

It's s**t like this NFL.com..I refreshed again and it went back to last weeks. Goofy.

Same happened to me...

I'm more confused with why he's in love with the Saints more than why is he hating on the niners.

It's in the 9ers hands as they play both Baltimore and Pittsburgh. If they finish off those two then the Packers are the only real competition for rankings. I see a very cold NFC championship game and the winner will have the edge for the super bowl.

We still don't know if QB Alex Smith can carry this team to a win if need be, but who cares? They have bought in to head coach Jim Harbaugh and his system and are playing as a team as well as anyone in the game. The 49ers' record in road games, especially on the East Coast, is substantial. This team has the confidence to go anywhere (if need be) in the playoffs to win. They will be challenged with the physical play of the Giants.

FoxSports

LOL - Does the Detroit game mean nothing? Is that winning drive and throwing the TD on 4th and Goal not carrying the team?

He made a good play when the team needed it but he hardly has carried the team for an entire game yet.

Well, good. Teams that rely on the QB to completely carry the team rarely win a championship. (See: Manning, pre-Davis Elway, pre-revamped defense Young, etc.)

Pats won their championships when they were a balanced team. Haven't won s**t since Tom Brady started assaulting the record books.

Rodgers had a tremendous postseason, but their defense made a ton of plays. I think they had a pick 6 in every playoff game last year, and James Starks provided a tough, grinding running game that they hadn't had all year.

You gotta have a strong D to win a championship, no doubt about that.
