Chicago fans are no doubt feeling disrespected after checking out the latest version of ESPN.com's power rankings.
Although the Bears and Green Bay are tied with a 4-3 record, the Packers were voted No. 10 overall while the Bears are No. 13. At closer inspection, you'll probably notice that eight of the 12 voters actually had it the other way around.
