Why is everyone so high on USC? They were pretty dang mediocre last year.

There is no way people can really "know" what many of these programs will and wont have going into a season. Most of the preseason stuff is based on looking at the JR and SR classes recruiting rankings for each program outside some of the obvious programs.

Tennessee gets ranked inexplicably, and those teams are too high?


There are reasons that explain why Tennessee is top 25. It's not like they have UT in the top 10

I don't get this. How many times have we seen ND and USC ranked high in preseason? And his many times did it stick. Wasn't USC preseason number 1 in 11? Or a different year. They won't do shite.

The year ND (unrightfully) went to the NC, that was the first time they were unranked in the preseason in basically forever. Then, of course, they go to the NC. Now they have another 15-20 years of hype to live on.

USC is USC, but their HC is a little too unproven to be warranting #3 right now, IMO.

Overall, not bad. I think UGA may be higher than #11, but that's debatable

8. Notre Dame


WTF?

quote:

9. Auburn


I'd have them in the top 5 over Oregon and/or USC

quote:

23. Georgia Tech


I HATE Tech, but they should be a lot higher

seems about right on Auburn. Loaded w/ talent. Great coaching on both sides of the ball, but have to see it on the field before shelling out a top 5 ranking. Especially on the defensive side.

No way Auburn comes in that low. Hope Bama comes in lower for once, though.

USC and Notre Dame are very frequently overranked. Notre Dame started #1 in '06 and proved quite unworthy. USC's most recent #1 preseason spots in 2005, 2007, and 2012 all resulted similarly.

You really need people on a message board to explain to you what a PRESEASON poll is?

It's not rocket science kid.
