Week 6 NFL Power Rankings: And your playoff chances are ...

So, you're saying there's a chance?

Thanks to ESPN's Football Power Index, we have an (early) look at every team's chances of making the playoffs, based on the first five weeks. Here's a rundown of the Week 6 Power Rankings as voted on by our power panel -- a group of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities -- with a special focus on those postseason odds.

ESPN Stats & Information's John McTigue contributed the following information.

Note: The Rams lost to the Seahawks, but Los Angeles jumped a few spots because these rankings are based on which teams voters think would win head-to-head matchups. So the Rams would be favored against lower-ranked teams. With our methodology, coming off a win doesn't guarantee a jump just as a loss doesn't guarantee a fall.

11. Los Angeles Rams
2017 record: 3-2
Week 5 ranking: No. 16

16.2 percent chance. That percentage might seem low for a 3-2 Rams team, but keep in mind that they currently rank 25th in efficiency, according to FPI. And despite his improvements, Jared Goff ranks just 15th in Total QBR through five weeks.

Wow. I don't think those U.K. Sports guys saw our game. If you read their take you see expressions like the Seahags have "taken control of the division" and lumped the Rams with the Whiners and Tards as "not ready" to take on the mighty Seahawks.

I think these guys, and many other media types are going to be shocked when the Hags finish 9-7 and we win the division at 11-5.

The Rams were a dropped Cooper Kupp touchdown away from taking down the Seahawks and taking control of the division. They're that close. - McClymont
