What's your team ranked?

[Brutalis]

Arkansas #12, averaged. Read it in yesterday's sports page. Tallied the average from all the preseason college football mags and various popular websites. I think 12 is accurate for us.

A&M was 8th, they will be good but 8 is a bit overrated.

Auburn averaged 32nd, LMAO. How do you put together two great recruiting classes, win a NT and are not on the radar at all the following year? WTF?

Because quite possibly the greatest college football player of all-time is no longer there.

Florida learned the hard way how that goes.

 

[Brutalis]

No sir. Florida is averaged out at #22. After having a "down" year in Gator terms they had a nice class and they'll likely be headed to the Gator or Outback this year. Florida didn't learn anything the "hard" way.

My point remains though, I don't think there's ever been such low expectations for a NT winner in the following season. Their Vegas over/under for wins this year is 6.5! Not hating, just have never seen that before from a defending champ.

And I'll just ignore that comment about the greatest ever. I needed a good laugh before work. +1

I'm saying that when Tebow left Florida, they went from being one of the best teams in the NCAA to being unranked.

The same thing is going to happen to Auburn, they lost the best player in the NCAA and they're going to suffer big time.

Name a football player who had a better season than Killa Cam had this past season. Name a football player who carried a more mediocre team to a National Championship victory.

Florida was like 34 or 35 in preseason, but finished ranked. Auburn will likely do the same. And to say one player carried a mediocre team is off bro. From Big Z on the O-Line to that Nick fella they had a damn good team.

It was Cash Money's athletic ability that propelled his success. He was nothing but an SEC version of Vince Young. And when he is not performing to anyone's expectations in a few years, that's when the NCAA hammer will fall and it'll be another Reggie Bush scenario I believe.

But of course our opinions are just that.

59, according to Athlon's Preseason rankings

Beats #69 in Ole Miss.

It makes sense tho

Anyone who had an ounce of talent left for the Draft, and our coach left

Were gonna suck

Erm, this past season Florida started ranked in the top 5 and finished unranked...

Cam carried that team and there is no question about it.

Who cares what propelled his success? He completely dominated college football.

 

[Brutalis]

I was looking at something else then.

Without Lee Ziemba Auburn would not have done what they did. Ask Auburn fans bro, better yet my own cousin who is a Auburn fan. Their own fans say this bro.

One player doesn't go undefeated. He got there because of the talent and support underneath him. Once again, go to any Auburn fan and ask them yourself. I think they have a better idea why they were successful than you or I. Not counting who got paid and what booster did what of course.

No one player carries a team to a national championship. Sure he was a great player but he had other great players to back him up. Football may be the most team intensive sport, and to think Cam Newton single handedly won that national championship is totally absurd.

Michigan resides at #40

 

[Lake Louise]

I'm not surprised we're at #40. I didn't expect us to be ranked in preseason, that'd be ridiculous. We have started not ranked lately and have managed to crack the rankings at some point during the season. I'd see that happening again, even if for a short while.

 

[Oiler35]

Ohio State is at #5.

I really think that's too high, especially with the Tressel/ Pryor controversy, and that fact that it will be hard adjusting without both.

 

[Brutalis]

Yeah I don't seem them in a BCS bowl this year.

 

[Rice18]

Doesn't matter till we win it all.

 

[Brutalis]

SEC is between 3 teams teams this year, and USCe imo isn't one of them. They are being a bit over hyped this year.

Hmm, Best Wide receiver in college. Top Prospect this last year and top 5 running back in the nation. Over - hyped ? Sure. I can take being over hyped if we win it all.

You're not winning it all and won't finish in the top 10 in the rankings, shut the fuck up.

Not like you even give a fuck about SC anyway.

 

[DJT]

Alabama is #2, I can accept that, but I think they could be #1 easily.

Boise State is #7, I think that is a good spot for them.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Arkansas is criminally underrated.
