Pre season #1 rankings are almost like a curse in any sport. They’re irrelevant so I’d rather enter the season with something to prove.

Preseason AP poll didn’t start until 1950. From 1936-1949, the AP began their poll midseason.

Edit: Never mind. You said STARTED. My bad.

1993: FSU


They lost to #2 Notre Dame and swapped places with them for a week.

NM: you didn't list them wire to wire but they were very close
