The ESPN.com Power Rankings are out and we’ve got good news and bad news on the New Orleans Saints.
The good news is our four-man panel voted and the result was the Saints tied the Indianapolis Colts for No. 1. The bad news, our panel breaks ties and the fact that the Colts were No. 1 last week means they stay as No. 1 and the Saints officially are No. 2.
But, hey, the tie is at least progress. As for the rest of the NFC South, it’s not pretty. The Falcons tumbled from No. 7 to No. 11 after their loss to Dallas.
The Panthers fell two spots to No. 24 after their loss to Buffalo. Give the Bucs points for consistency. They’re not winning, but they’re holding tight at No. 31. That’s only because the St. Louis Rams have such a tight grip on No. 32.
