This seems weird to me. I really don't care about pre season rankings, but it seems like most everyone I've looked at had Auburn and Alabama top 6-7, UGA after that, LSU around 15 or so, etc.

Maybe I missed a new flood of rankings.

Lol. Will finish outside the top 25 again.

Will win just as many 2015 national championships in football as Bammer.

How do the experts fall for Richt year after year? How many seasons do they need to watch before they realize that his UGA teams are going to choke away a high ranking?


It was posted in another thread a few weeks ago, but Richt actually ends up higher then the first poll a large majority of the time. I think only a few times has UGA finished worse in the polls then they started preseason under Richt....I would guess that Auburn, Saban, and Miles have finished worse a lot more than Richt in the same time frame (since 2001)

Eta: obviously Bama being ranked #1 and not winning it all a few times skews it and also Auburn never winning 10 games in back to back season hurts theres

How in the world is that disrespect to have them at 77? They have played in FBS for one year and are already ranked in the top 60% (roughly) in the preseason.



GSU came in last year as a FCS power and nearly knocked off 2 ACC teams that GSU simply fumbled the games away on. ?Knocked off Uf the year before that. On top of that easily skated through the Sun Belt 8-0. The Navy game was the only bad game all year.

77 is some disrespect, Should be Top 50 easily.

Below Vandy, are you frickign kidding? That team is completely hapless. Below Colorado, Indiana, WESTERN KENTUCKY??

I guess everyone will just be so "shocked" and "surprised" except us GSU fans when the WVU game is close.

Folks say that every year, and more times than not, Bama ends up in the mix for championships at the end of the year.

Shhh.. Just embrace the perpetual unfounded preseason hype that sets expectations that we will inevitably not live up to. Don't you dare be disappointed later though.

I think they a so low because their schedule is tougher than in years past. They don't have their auto-win against Florida anymore. Gotta respect them, though, for trying to schedule tougher opponents.

Seems like the experts know more about UGA than you do considering how close their predictions have been for UGA.

Michigan


So you think Michigan is a top 20 team this year?

I think they are like 8-4 so I guess that could sniff top 25, but could be 30 or so so the ranking doesn't seem too bad
