I don't agree with it at all.

#7 The Saints

#11 Falcons

#18 Panthers

I mean really, the Saints #7. The Panthers are better than 18. Top 12 atleast

I know the huddle likes to bitch and moan about being underrated in any and every meaningless power rankings, but I got no problem with this rant. This poo is absolutely ridiculous. What could the Saints possibly have done to warrant being put ahead of not just Carolina but Atlanta also? What are they basing any of this off of, the Saints blowout of the Raiders in the preseason?

I know, most preseasons are meaningless

...yet he has no problem basing his whole power rankings on preseason performance...where do they find these people?

what the hell is a power ranking anyway? as far as i'm concerned, power is determined by your W-L record. it's just another interesting list with "in-depth" comments to take up a page of a magazine and make the public buy it.

they can rank us 528th for all i care... i just want to see 1-0 this time next week.

Ok, so ESPN, SI, Bill Simmons, John Clayton, NFL.com, Mike and Mike, Colin, Football Today, and Vegas are against us. Instead of making a new thread everytime some no-name radio host says he thinks the eagles will win, just post it here. We get it, we're underdogs.

again, I dono why this is so shocking. all the national media see's is the Eagles who were in the championship game vs us and our dreadful playoff game. When most of america only watches u play twice a year and one time is a 5 Int, 1 Fumble, 30 point blowout at home......what do you expect? no suprise. let it go

Repeat after me... "under the radar..."

This is where the Panthers need to stay.

Good rankings should consider preseason rankings and last season's teams. It seems these rankings did none of that, choosing only to base their rankings on the preseason.

Then again, it's been customary to proclaim the Saints as the best team in the South and a Super Bowl contender. It's not surprising they're doing it again, even after a season in which they went 8-8 with one of the league's best offenses.

Only thing I can say about it is the Saints are not better than the Falcons, and I don't think they're better than us at this point...

The Falcons should be about 8 or 9, we should be around 16-17 at this point, and the Saints should be right behind us...

Mr Bull, Never once even mentioned no respect. I just thought we were more of a top 12 than a top 20 team. I really just was pointing out the fact the Saints once again seem to always be a preseason favorite. The ANALYSTS suck a lot of Saint D*CK:D

This is really what I wanted to point out ^^

Forget the Panthers...they have the Saints and Packers ahead of the Colts....I think we should just ban the posting of power rankings altogether....they have no factual basis to them whatsoever
