I have always hated espn and their ridiculous power rankings. But the saints have a come from behind victory showing they can handle adversity and actually drop two spots. The rams get plastered and move up a ranking.

Well the Rams didn't jump them. Plus the Steelers are the best team in the AFC and the Vikings beat the Saints head to head.

These rankings don't mean shite so what I am about to say doesn't mean shite, but I have no problem with this ranking.

Methodology: These rankings are based on which teams voters think would win head-to-head matchups. Higher-ranked teams would be favored against lower-ranked teams. Coming off a win doesn't guarantee a jump, and a loss doesn't guarantee a fall.

So they're behind 2 teams that already beat them, a 9-1 Eagles team who keeps looking like the top team in the league and an 8-2 Steelers team. I think 5 is a reasonable spot.

Yal realize we barely snuck away a win at home vs an ok team while rams got beat by a good team.

Like we honestly should be 7-3 if not for the 2nd largest choke job of this calendar year.

Power rankings also doesn't matter.

Every week people argue over power rankings and where we're at. Just pretend we're #1 every week and you'll be OK.

Also, power rankings don't matter in the NFL but it would help us determine how many points Alabama would put up against us.

Who gives a crap about their stupid rankings? This ain’t college.
These are the same idiots that thought Manning would slay the Saints in the SB
