It's Cam Newton's world, and everyone is just living in it.

Newton and his Carolina Panthers are now 10-0 and clearly the NFC's best team. Meanwhile, their AFC counterpart, the New England Patriots, also captured their 10th win in 10 tries. It's the fourth time in the league's history two teams have held matching 10-0 records, per NFL.com's Gil Brandt.

These particular teams are drastically different in their approach, but they're both dominating the league.

Every other franchise has lost at least two games, and only nine organizations currently claim a winning record.

With 12 available playoff spots, there will be a few teams that rise out of mediocrity to play in the postseason. Which ones will they be?

To make sense of it all, eight Bleacher Report NFL writers—Gary Davenport, Mike Freeman, Brad Gagnon, Matt Miller, Ty Schalter, Mike Tanier, Sean Tomlinson and yours truly—ranked the teams.

In order to build a consensus for these power rankings, each squad's ranking from each writer was added to the others. The lowest totals indicated the best teams, while the highest totals marked the other end of the spectrum. If there was a tie, the club with the single highest vote got the nod as the better squad.

On the flip side of the equation, four different teams received votes as the league's worst. The Cleveland Browns received the most last-place votes, but they weren't counted among the bottom three teams in this week's rankings.
