Is both Stanford and Pitt being intentionally under-rated in this preseason?

[UCFhonors]

I don't there is any doubt that both Stanford and Pitt being intentionally under-rated in this preseason?

We all know Stanford has been very good the last decade. They held their own among the WA giants of the North Pac Division.

And we all know Pitt finished 2nd in the ACC only behind a pretty good Clemson team.

Yet neither of them are getting the respect that they deserve this offseason / preseason. And I think we all know why...

There is no doubt as why. The ESP5N Cartel doesn't want UCF to destroy a Top 10 team, at home or a Top 15 team on the road. So they are intentionally underrating both Stanford and Pitt. Does the Cartel really take all cfb fans as UCFools?

Stanford is continually underrated imo. You always here talk of Washington & Oregon but its Stanford with three PAC-12 titles and all of them won with David Shaw at the helm.

 

[SteelersPride]

Pitt stinks

 

[ericd7633]

No

Stanford is where they probably should be(top 20 preseason). And Pitt was a .500 team that needs to replace half their starters.

LOL, remind me again about what Stanford and Pittsburg did against every ranked team they played last year....oh, yeah, they lost all 7 games by an average score of 37-17...I can't imagine why they aren't ranked higher this year.

The OP tells you why they are ranked in BS preseason polls. Try a re-read.

Stanford finished last season 9-4 and was unranked.

Pitt was 7-7 last season and finished unranked.

How many 7 loss teams have been ranked at the end of the season in college football?

I’m gonna take a big shit once I get to the airport

They had to make room for Nebraska.

I’m fine with that.

Yes you. I'm talking to you, a homosapien of the now 21st century. I do not know where your destination or location is or may be but I was ordered by a very erudite homosapien of importance such as myself to deliver you some words that may define your end and your start. The words will define your entire life and your entire destiny. This is not a warning. We are professionals and that's why we get asked to do this. This is not a joke of some kind and if you do think it is I'll just have you know that I earn over 200000 per week for doing this as my job. Okay now time for the message. I'm contacting my boss to make sure I say the right message. Here it is. Close your eyes if you want. You can't do anything to change this-this fact. Three words. The message says "Your Mom Gay"

I totally agree with the OP and would add Tulane and Kent State to the list because both should be ranked.

Stanford finished last season 9-4 and was unranked.

Pitt was 7-7 last season and finished unranked.

The under rated kind, duhhh.

Did they claim national titles this past season? Seems like the trendy thing to do for self promotion purposes.

 

[jjc2009]

Top 10 or top 15???

Lol. 7-7 will. It get you ranked let alone top 15. And 9-4 would barely get you ranked.

Pitt’s only offense was Quadree Ollison (gone). Stanford has to replace key parts on defense, and lost Bryce Loce and their top receiver Arsiga-Whiteside.

Please share whatever it is you’re smoking.

I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.

If the polls are BS, why do you care where anyone is ranked. The bigger question might be why is UCF ranked so high?

 

[Rolltide94]

I totally agree with the OP and would add Tulane and Kent State to the list because both should be ranked.

I'm advocating for Duke...unlike Pitt, they actually have back to back winning seasons....playing in the same conference.

Pitt was 7-7 lost last 3 games including ACC championship and Bowl... to Stanford. 13-14. the ACC overall isnt highly regarded right now as everyone sees it as Clemson and the rest. with what pitt lost they are picked what like 3rd in their division? UVA, VT, Miami, Duke kind of a pick em at this point. and even still would expect the division winner to have 2 losses in conference again.
Stanofrd has 3 starters on offense back including losing like all the skill players except QB. No Love. No Arcega-Whiteside. and that was an offense that was only 85th. normally known for defense Stanford was still only 78th. 9-4 finish so around 20 is about normal.

 

[CaptainStubing]

I say UCF is being underrated

Nebraska. Or is that an 8-loss team?
