The latest SB Nation NFL power rankings have the Bucs in ninth place. A top ten team, in other words. It’s a trend of increasing respect for the Bucs’ performance over the last year among third-party analysts, though not so much among those who rely on models and metrics.
I could write something about how power rankings are meaningless and just one person’s feelings but, you know, I think we all get how that works and also, what if the Bucs actually are a top ten team?
What if, somehow, the Bucs have put together a team that is very good?
