Week 11 NFL Power Rankings

I tried to tell you the Patriots weren't all that on defense.

Week 11 NFL Power Rankings

1. The Dallas Cowboys

With the Patriots looking to make some adjustments on defense, it appears that the Dallas Cowboys are the clear number one team in the NFL until they lose again. Considering that we weren't even sure this team would make the playoffs this year with a healthy Tony Romo, it's somewhat miraculous that they have the best record in all of football.

Last Week: Win, The Pittsburgh Steelers (35-30)

This Week: The Baltimore Ravens, 1:00 p.m. (CBS)

2. The Seattle Seahawks

Pete Carroll and Seattle Seahawks went into New England and did everything they needed to do to hand New England its second home loss of the 2016-2017 regular season. As they move down the stretch, it will be important for the Seahawks to remain focused. While it appears that they are the clear favorites in the NFC West, it's important not to get too comfortable.

Last Week: Win, The New England Patriots (31-24)

This Week: The Philadelphia Eagles, 4:25 p.m. (CBS)

3. The Oakland Raiders

Coming off of a bye week, the Raiders will get some added rest when they play Brock Osweiler and the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. This will be the Raiders first marquee showcase since the days of Rich Gannon as they are coming off the biggest win of their season, a 30-20 win over the Broncos.

Last Week: Bye

This Week: The Houston Texans, 8:30 p.m. (ESPN Monday Night Football)

4. The New England Patriots

I tried to tell you. I tried to tell you. The New England Patriots defense will not hold up against playoff caliber quarterbacks. After being lit up for 348 yards and three touchdowns by a Russell Wilson led unit that has struggled this season, the Patriots defense will have an opportunity to redeem themselves against the trainwreck that is the San Francisco 49ers.

Last Week: Loss, The Seattle Seahawks (24-31)

This Week: San Francisco 49ers, 4:25 p.m. (CBS)

5. The Kansas City Chiefs


The Chiefs are at a strange place that they find themselves in every year. We're not sure if they're good or they're just alright. Coming off of a 20-17 win against Cam Newton and company, the Chiefs get the Buccaneers at home. We'll see what they can do once again against a not so good NFC South team.

Last Week: Win, The Carolina Panthers (20-17)

This Week: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1:00 p.m. (FOX)

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
