Week after week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are circling the middle of the NFL power rankings field. Win one: up a few spots. Lose one: down a few spots. This week: down a few spots. Seems about fair.
Adam Stites of SB Nation sets the tone: 18th, down from 14th last week. The rest isn’t much better. ESPN: 19th, and a note on a really tough upcoming schedule. Washington Post: 19th. Yahoo! Sports: 20th. NFL.com: 19th. CBS Sports: 19th.
Pretty mediocre, but not unearned.
