This. There will be lots of folks stressing and bickering over guesses. It's BS.

Posted on 2/9/15 at 1:07 pm to agrunner

It's about as accurate as any other preseason top 25, which is not very. There are surprises and disappointments every season, football wouldn't be worth watching if the preseason rankings were so accurate that everyone took them 100% seriously

The Fulmer Cup will probably alter that list.
Posted on 2/9/15 at 1:21 pm to agrunner
No because Notre Dame is always ranked.

We are now.
However, preseason polls mean nothing.
