For those of us too lazy to look at every post, can you update your OP with the rest of the list as it comes in Mamba?

Starting with tomorrow's posting I can certainly do that.

 

[WABLTY]

ASU will be really overrated or really underrated. Suspect Steele decided they're all the way out of the 40 because of the defensive losses.

 

[WhiteMamba]

40 Cincinnati
39 Texas A&M
38 BYU
37 Miami
36 Oregon State
35 Maryland
34 Mississippi St
33 Nebraska
32 Iowa
31 Houston
30 Michigan
29 VA Tech
28 Washington
27 Northwestern
26 Louisville
25 Texas
24 Florida
23 Clemson
22 Boise
21 UCF
20 Stanford
19 Marshall
18 North Carolina
17 Notre Dame
16 ole Miss
15 LSU

..... 14 TCU

 

[WhiteMamba]

That is some high expectations for TCU. 14 is a pretty high prediction IMO.

never saw that coming..

 

[WhiteMamba]

never saw that coming..

I remember last year once we got top top 10 we were all trying to figure out who was left.

To many of our surprises he had VA Tech very high as well as Texas top 10.

 

[outlaw okie]

I'm guessing he might have KSU in there somewhere over the next few days since he doesn't have them on the board yet. Could be wrong but I've seen them as high as 15 in other predictions.

I had them as a sleeper, but that is a bit too much. TCU bringing in a new offense and it is similar to A&M. I thought the Joeckle transfer could turn out well. YOu get a Senior that ran the system to help you adjust. Issue might be the OL. It is was putrid last yr and there is not a lot of hope amongst TCU fans I talked to that it will get better. Defense will be fine. WR has been a bit of a black hole also.

If he doesn't have SC in the next couple I'd be really surprised. I'd put them around #15-20 to start.

 

[GreenNickle]

So I have to wait 10 or 11 more days to get upset THEE is ranked to low?

 

[WhiteMamba]

So we have 13 left. Just off the top of my head....

Help me out here.
In no particular order

Bama
Auburn
FSU
Oregon
UCLA
USC
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Ohio State
Michigan State

There are 10.

3 more. <thinking>

Baylor for sure but stuck there maybe KSU?

 

[WhiteMamba]

Yes. That is who I was missing Baylor. Duh on my part.

So add to my original 10 Baylor for a guarenteed 11.

The only other 2 I can think of are ASU and KSU. Both of which I believe are bigger stretches than TCU for top 14 teams.

That would mean PAC would have 4 teams in top 13, and one of them is not Stanford. Phil be bold en sech this year.

 

[outlaw okie]

#13


Wisconsin
KSU
ASU
OSU (thee shitty OSU)

 

[WhiteMamba]

Oh ya, no Wisky yet. They will be in.

So one of these will not be in top 40.

So Cal
KSU
ASU

 

[WhiteMamba]

Bama
Auburn
FSU
Oregon
UCLA
USC
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Ohio State
Michigan State
Wisky
Baylor

Those are 12 we all can agree will make up the remaining 13 spots.

Leaving one spot for ASU or KSU???
