I really thought Ohio St would start at #1, SEC and B1G dominate the poll, Barn no where to be found

I kind of feel a little bad for Wash.

They went from being in the NCG to not even ranked because we took their HC.

Though that coupled with us being #5 shows just how well respected CKD is in CFB.

It gets to a point where it is hard to ignore his record and what he's done everywhere he's gone. I'm sure the thought process is "If he can do what he's done at these other schools with a lot less talent, just imagine what he can do at Bama with stockpiles of it."

I don't understand the Notre Dame preseason love, and honestly, I'm not sure I'll understand their ranking later in the year because it's not a particularly tough schedule, so they will probably hang around in the top 10 all year.

This has been going on since the beginning of the polls. They will be fortunate to win 8 games.

Meh, I don't. They hired a really good staff. Jedd Fisch from Arizona, Steve Belichick at DC, and Brennan Carroll at OC. Not sure they could do much better than that.

Their bigger problem this year is that they lost a ton of production to the draft and transfers.

5 seems right to me. We should be good but putting us any higher would be a lot of projection. The 4 teams above us have way more stability coming into the year.

It makes about as much sense as Ole Miss at #6.

But honestly, it's a bit of a crap shoot past the top 4 or 5 at this point, considering we have not seen any games yet.

I wish no one would put rankings out until we see teams play. Even though they aren't "official" rankings, they still have a subconscious impact on how the committee views the teams when they play.

I think that the polls are a great thing as it gets is off topics such as how good Milroe is or should we bring back white helmets...:rolleyes:

Because they’re……….Notre Dame. I would argue that no name has been more storied throughout the history of the game

It'll be fun when we have the Big 12 champion with multiple losses in the top 4 simply because they are a conference champ.

Possibly the same with the ACC champ.

SEC champ and Big 10 champ each with 0 or 1 loss, but Big 12 champ I could see being a multiple loss team.

But hey....12 team playoff. I don't even know who is in the Big 12 now.

1. Ohio State 12-0
2. Georgia/Texas 11-1
3. Clemson/Florida State 11-1
4. Okie State/Utah/UCF 9-3

What a joke. Utah is #13 in this poll.....if somehow they win the conference with 3 losses they'd automatically jump to the top 4. Am I wrong on that? Isn't that how this new system works?
