The Packers are 2-0, but if they bring the effort they did this week they would have lost to 20 of the league's other teams.
I guess if you only choose to look at this year when making a top 5 it's too early, but unlike college football there isn't a high rate of turnover in the NFL from year to year. So based on the early going it looks like most of the top teams are the same. 2 stinkers by Ravens and Steelers isn't enough to remove them from that list as no one else has proven much.
