This week the Raiders sat back and watched the rest of the league fight for their spots in the power rankings. It was the bye week for the Raiders, which often times leads to an 'out of sight, out of mind' situation. Or in some cases, a 'prisoner of the moment' mindset.
Much of those doing the ranking seem to be prisoners of the moment with the Seahawks' big win in New England. In beating the previously infallible Patriots, they jumped from sixth in the power rankings into the top three, and in most cases bumped down the Raiders.
