re: Your preseason Top 10?

I know that Meyer has a really good track record...but I would say that they will come closer to finishing 3rd in their division than 1st. Why would they be preseason top 10?

I'm not basing it on stats, but on my gut...which could very well be wrong. Last year, with what they had coming back, I thought they were a slam dunk to make the CFP. But they had a QB controversy (that old saying, if you've got 2 QBs you don't have one) and didn't really seem to play with a lot of focus until they lost to MSU. Then they kicked the snot out of Michigan and Notre Dame...

This year, JT Barrett's the man, so they're settled at QB...they lost a lot of talent to the NFL, but Urban's recruited very well the last few years so I think they'll be reloading as opposed to rebuilding. Just got a feeling they play with a chip on their shoulder this year and win the Big 10, which should get 'em into the CFP...
