I'm upset by how HIGH my team is ranked.  I wouldn't have them in the Top 25 'tall.

Our schedule is interesting, we play 3 in the top 10, 4 in the top 11.

I think for us here, nobody really cares, other than as a point of general discussion.  Seeing USC so high is "interesting".

The rumor is that it's a misprint, since there are 65 voters, but 66 first place votes if you include the Texas one.

Hey badge, you’ll be happy to know that there’s a good article on ESPN today naming all of the “position university“

wisc. is OLU and RBU. (Within the Big Ten)Well deserved. And they actually used mostly a formulaic methodology versus just opinion

Yep, I saw that. I'm a little surprised they didn't get an LBU mention given the run of recent players they have put into the NFL.

I see Iowa is #26, PSU is #27.  So they will be ranked soon enough if they win their first couple of games.

UCLA, Minn and Pur also received some votes.

I thought it was a little strange Iowa did not get ranked in the top 25 with most of the team returning from last year's 10-win team.  Special teams will probably be a little worse, which could hurt in close games.  Defense and offense will be about the same as last year.  Oh wait, the Iowa offense sucked last year.  Nevermind.

Oh well, we will find out soon enough who is any good.  If I remember correctly, Indiana and PSU were ranked last year in the preseason top 25 and we all saw how that worked out.

Yeah, it'll all get shaken up sooner or later, though the top three usually end up top ten at least.  The next seven bounce around.  From there on, well, it gets less predictable.

Some obviously have an easy first 5 games and end up ranked 13th at 5-0 and then reality sets in.
