Looks pretty much as expected, I suppose.  I'm glad to see ISU getting some respect at #24, Matt Campbell is doing some really good work there.

(Which of course means a bigger name is bound to snatch him up soon)

Wasn't disappointed when tOSU tapped Ryan Day as HC.Thought for sure they'd go after MC with his Ohio background Toledo/B.Green/Mount Union/Massillon

My school is too high. We haven't seen anything to support that ranking.

We haven't seen much to support any ranking, but the good news is none of this matters, at all, now, except for musing.

There is usually one or two busts in the top ten.  A&M at 11 might have a good team and end up 8-4 easily enough.  Florida might be 8-4 also.  Or not.

Yeah, I'm really interested in the Aggies' season this year.

I actually expect A&M to be better than last year, and still end up 8-4.  They have a very top-heavy schedule and  I think they're pretty much guaranteed losses to Clemson, Alabama, and Georgia.  I also think that the LSU game that went to 7 OTs and in the Ags' favor last year, is going to swing the other way in Baton Rouge.  That's 8-4 right there, not even looking at Auburn, Ole Miss, and Miss State (which maybe aren't worth looking at, to be fair).

aTm and LSU are in similar positions imo. Both could be quite good and still have 3-4 losses.

Oh, it matters. 

It helps keep teams that perhaps shouldn't be there stay close to the top and prevent other schools who maybe have tougher schedules to stay out of the top 25.

Like conferences that have a bunch of teams listed in the top 25 who "play each other", and gives the illusion of strength of conference.

Preseason rankings are garbage.

Let's say Syracuse loses its first two games, but because they're in the ACC and there are no real relevant teams besides Clemson, they'll be back up there (top 25) if they win a couple more simply because they had the preseason hype.

With that said, anyone want to start a new strength of schedule thread?

In the poll era, yeah, that meant something.  In the playoff era I don’t really think it does.  And I’ll proactively cut off any argument that the CFP just follows whatever the polls do.  They definitively don’t.

A preseason poll means nothing to the committee.

They exist because a part of our lizard brains wants to consume them voraciously. The same reason we care how high Syracuse or Clemson is on a given week.
