Is B.S. except for BAMA. I’d rather have the GATORS ranked 26th at the start with a 26 position move up, not down,by December.
Look at some of the teams listed in the Top Ten. How many do you think will finish out of the 25?

ESPN released College Football Preseason Rankings this week which included six teams from the SEC.

1. Alabama Crimson Tide
2. Oklahoma Sooners
3. Clemson Tigers
4. Georgia Bulldogs
5. Ohio State Buckeyes
6. Texas A&M Aggies
7. Iowa State Cyclones
8. Oregon Ducks
9. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
10. North Carolina Tar Heels
11. Cincinnati Bearcats
12. Florida Gators
13. USC Trojans
14. LSU Tigers
15. Miami Hurricanes
16. Wisconsin Badgers
17. Indiana Hoosiers
18. Iowa Hawkeyes
19. Washington Huskies
20. Penn State Nittany Lions
21. Texas Longhorns
22. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
23. Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
24. Ole Miss Rebels
25. Arizona State Sun Devils

I can’t wait to see the souls of the A&M faithful crushed after all this hype placed on their team in the offseason turns into tears.

Aggie has a pretty deep and veteran team but qb can make or break you for certain

9-3 finishing in the top 15 is possible

That’s because you know that’s all you’ll have to look forward to this season.

LSU fans seem worried about A&M. All of their posts lately are about A&M being overrated.

They literally went 5-5 last year and are ranked 14, but God forbid Aggy get a top 5 rank after a 1 loss season.

Might as well get used to it. If you can recruit like a blueblood you are moving on up the poll chain. And TAMU has done plenty of that. I mean, how in the world could LSU be in the top 15 otherwise?

Our average AP finish the last 4 years has been 5th. Looks like it's spot on.

Who do you want to put ahead of them?

Everyone always says “(insert team) too high” and then never elaborates on who should take their place.

The simple fact is there are a lot of teams that don’t even pass the eye test against teams like A&M. If you don’t like it maybe your program should recruit harder, your team should practice harder, and you should get better results.

We are clearly not Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, level … but there is genuinely not a better alternative choice for #6 out there.

None of this matters anyway, it’ll all shake itself out in the end. Who actually gets emotionally invested in these rankings? Only thing that matters is the final ranking.

We finished ranked 4th last year, with a 6th ranked recruiting class. Being pre-season #6 … just makes fricking sense.

You’re giving far too much thought to a thread posted by a notorious troll.
