14. New Orleans Saints 4-4 (21)
Don't laugh. After starting 0-4, the Saints have a shot at finishing 12-4.
Yahoo! Sports: '07 rankings: Opposite directions - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Cole: #10 - "A week ago, I talked about my gut feeling that Jacksonville deserved to be ranked No. 4. So much for that. It's one thing for the Jaguars to lose, but to give up 41 points in the process is just ugly. … New Orleans gets a big bump up "
Robinson: #11 - "Since starting 0-4, Drew Brees' numbers are through the roof. Over the last four games, he's got a 115.1 quarterback rating, completing over 71 percent of his passes for 1,246 yards, 11 touchdowns and one interception."

#8 Saints - The Saints are officially on a roll. Winners of four straight after Sunday's offensive explosion on Jacksonville, New Orleans improves to 4-4 after an 0-4 start to the season. Drew Brees went nuts, going 35-49 for 445 yards and three touchdowns. Marques Colston hauled in 10 passes and Reggie Bush compiled 114 yards of offense. If there was any negative to this Saints' steam-rolling, it was Olindo Mare's kicking performance. The former Dolphin went 2-for-4. A half-game behind the Bucs in the NFC South, the Saints take on the 0-8 Rams this weekend.
