Now CBS has their all too early 2014 poll out

2014 Preseason Top 25: A first guess - CBSSports.com

10 is way too high for the Dawgs.

Missouri gets more realistic treatment, but OU gets no respect.

Someone who has time to waste, compare the ESPN and CBS poll. Be interested in seeing.

22. Texas: The Longhorns weren't as bad as their final two games -- ugly losses to two high-powered offenses in Baylor and Oregon -- might have made them appear, Tyron Swoopes should give the quarterbacking an upgrade, and Charlie Strong's arrival should do the same for the defense. Losing Jackson Jeffcoat stings, though.

gadammet. ESPIN had TAMU at 16... now these idiots double down the stupidity and put TAMU at 15. WHAT THE FUCK COLOR IS THE SKY IN THEIR WORLDS??

No, we weren't as good as some of our wins, in actuality.
Credit Applewhite for dialing up game plans and taking a chance to let Case play above his abilities for as long as luck would let him.

Alabama is way too high in both. We don't even know who our QB is going to be next year. Sure we've had some success in the past with 1st year QB's, but you can't take that for granted.

Longhorn fans trip me out. You guys own Texas and yet bitch about the Aggies nonstop. I'm happy with USC's ranking. I think we will continue to build and be back on top in the next two years. At least in the discussion.

I bitch about all overhyped shit: SEC, '05 USC team, LOTR trilogy, but the closest thing to where I live is the overhyped Aggies.

Nice shot at SC. You guys have nothing to worry about, Austin is a superior city to College Station. You'll be back and that's a guarantee.

you saw what I did there? lol.

I thought people were going to jump on me for the LOTR thing.
God, I hate those horrible movies.

 

[RoboticDreams]

Those movies are fucking horrible. I watched the first one and bits of the other two. Just can't get into that nonsense.

#20 for the Irish

I'll take it

Even the justification is insane. "Their defense couldn't get any worse and we're sure that Sumlin can turn anyone into a successful QB" Total joke.

That's absurd. Sumlin didn't make Johnny it's the other way around. When he leaves they are going to struggle. So next year.

They've recruited lights out since Sumlin got there, so there is a tremendous amount of talent in the pipeline, but yahh, both the ESecPN and SeeBS rankings are no way justified considering what they are losing and how bad their defense performs.

13 for OU with all that returning talent, and returning QB? OU finished #6, return just about everyone and they #13? A&M loses most of their offense, has no defense, and they are going to get better? Too bad OU isn't in the SEC, they would be top 2 next year.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Hooray for no expectations! We're somebody now! lol

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

OU has a quarterback that played one good game. We don't really know if this dude is the second coming. He was all over the map, earning and losing the job all season.
He might be good and the signs sort of lean that way. But, the sample is a bit tiny.


They return a lot of defensive players, but they beat Bama with their offense not defense.
The Sooner offense is hit much harder. Both starting RBs, Both receivers, and 2 Offensive linemen are leaving.


The Sooners should win the Big 12 as it will be even worse in 2014, but I am not sure they are a national powerhouse in 2014.


I think Oklahoma at #10 is about right.

 

[occupant]

What conferences play on CBS?

 

[GoldRusher]

OU not a top 3 team? Rediculous with what they have coming back.
