That's pretty much the same rankings they had to end last season. It might be identical

[BOTT]

Not sure i buy the Saints. That defense has a long way to go.

[open window]

Seems about right, for the all important preseason rankings. If the Colts are rated too low they won't get a fair shot at the championship.

[Smonroe]

Obligatory BCS joke here.

 

It continues to amaze me why anyone cares about any power polls in a sport where polls are meaningless.

 

You only get respect on the field in the NFL.

[CR91]

I dont think we're better then the saints even if their defense is skeptical

You mean we don't get to go to the Rose Bowl if we win the South?  Hold on I need to get some money back from the Ticket Broker I talked too!

 

That's a joke just for the record.

I think the Pack and Baltimore are too high, but power rankings change according to pundit so of course not a big deal.

[John Dee]

I am so happy the game is played on the field, instead of on paper.

Skeptical? Wasn't it the worst in league history? And other than drafting Kenny Vaccaro, doesn't seem they have done much to fix it.

Payton is one of the best in the league, so I could wind up eating crow.

Don't let anyone else know, but there are players on our team who are ... getting paid!  As soon as the NCAA finds out, we're toast.  No bowl games no matter where we end up in the power polls.

 

I have a call in to Cam right now to see how to get out of this mess.

First of all their defense isn't "skeptical". It is worse than any defense this franchise has ever fielded.

 

Second, we are indeed better than the Saints.

 

Our QB is better. Our WRs are better and our TEs are better.

I agree and I don't know what Payton could do to cover up that defense.  It's going to be interesting to see how they look this year in a 3-4 under Rob Ryan.  Ol  Rob didn't have a whole lot of success in big D and I think he had better players to work with there than what he currently has in NO.

Oh come on now really?  You're already going to put Luck over Brees?

That's like some Bird fan telling me in the late 80s...Bird's book had been written and Jordan's hadn't. Therefore I could not competently posit that Jordan was the better basketball player.

 

Nonsense.

 

And I said our TEs (plural) are better than theirs. And they are.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

You're already going to put Luck over Brees?  

 

Absolutely!

huh? Are you saying the NFL is rigged?

I'll just assume you're trolling..

Good for you...?

[Tark The Shark]

Rankings in the NFL mean so little.

 

All that matters, is winning.

[Legend of Luck]

Yea, he might be jumping a little too quick. Yes we have better receivers, but they have one of the best QBs and one of the best TEs on the planet.

[Jason_]

Absolutely!

I see
