The NFC South is one of the great comedy routines of our age, and a preliminary ranking of the 0-4 division feels like the right way to remind everyone of its glory.

All four teams in the NFC South, at least according to CBS Sports' Super Bowl tiers, are standing on the same ground at the start of the 2026 season.

Last season: 8-9, first in the NFC South, lost to the Los Angeles Rams, 34-31, in the NFC Wild Card Round. Key additions: LB Devin Lloyd, OLB Jaelyn Phillips, OT Monroe Freeling, OT Rasheed Walker, C Luke Fortner. Key subtractions: RB Rico Dowdle, C Cade Mays, DE A’Shawn Robinson, LB Christian Rozeboom.

How many wins will it take to win the NFC South this season? A losing record was good enough twice in the past four years and no team has won more than 10 games since Tom Brady led the Buccaneers to a 13-4 record in 2021.
