Okay, I get Utah being ranked, but 8th seems a little high to me.

 

[AlaskaGuy]

TCU @ 14 but no Iowa St.?

 

[romeo212000]

Lol at Michigan.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

I fuckin' love Bama on top every year!

Play that funky music, white boy.

 

[Wamu]

Lol at Michigan.

Okay.

Something else can be said about this list. At the end of the season, even with their pussy schedule UCF ain't on there. Neither is any other AAC team or any G5 teams.
Is this a list where only P5 teams are considered?

Clean up on aisle #8.

UCF would kick VT's ass yet Steele has VT ranked on there.

 

[7Samurai13]

God I hate all these preseason rankings. How the fuck is Michigan State ranked so high? Did we get a QB and an offensive line in grad transfers that I don’t know about?

 

[Boise4Life]

Michigan a playoff team though

This is not helping the people that think you share an identity with a certain someone.

You either have more faith in Heupel than most or very little in Fuente, because Va Tech's worst recruiting class in the last 4 years is better than's UCF's best and their best class is better than UCF's best by about 30 spots...same for second best. That's a pretty big talent gap to coach up.

It's only Phil's, you're still getting the SI and AP curse...so there.

Auburn had some great recruiting classes also. btw what exactly has Fuente accomplished at VT.

I know, that's why they kicked your ass last year and our's the year before. I'd still wager if UCF played Auburn's schedule they would have had more than the 3 losses Auburn had.

UCF would use VT like a down & out turkey leg humpin hillbilly crack h0.

 

[Deep Creek]

8. Utah
14. TCU

 

[IrishBlooded]

After that super strong end of season last year I can understand the Michigan ranking.

Hell I can’t figure out why they didn’t just flat put them at 1


The only reason question is if hype sites use mouth wash after each time Harbaugh goes pee

 

[Hang_On_Sloopy08]

Michigan #3? Bold move Cotton, let's see how this one plays out.
