Week One Power Rankings

saintfan · 09-02-2014, 02:02 PM

I got the drop on all you thugs. We're #5:

5
Saints
11-5
--

Last Week: 5 New Orleans opens on the road, but the Saints have won four of their past five games at Atlanta. It's not the Superdome, but it's still a dome.

and we haven't even played a down... geez.

Euph,

Actually the best thing about NFL power rankings are their complete worthlessness. Absolutely nothing other than play on the field determines playoff seeding, playoff wins, and the SB champion each year.

All this is just ESPN content filler specifically designed to generate arguments among fans. Also note that these rankings pretty much follow the outcomes from the playoffs last year.

As I said. Completely worthless.

I just cannot wait until Sunday.

Oh I have a reputation on these power bottom rankings... no worries.

The Saints beat the 9ers just last season. The Saint should be ahead of them based on that alone.

And with Bowman and A. Smith out, I'd say they've gotten worse.

#4 is too high for them, in my opinion.

Looks like the playoffs last year...

It is still an honor to be in the top #5.

Not so fast, it's a long season. They still gotta chance.
