HooplaNation's Preseason Rankings - Discussion Thread

[NU_WTF?]

I am not going to waste time deciding if a poll is a troll one or the person really meant it - even if it is really obvious. If it has 25 different FBS teams, I am going to count it as official. If you do post a troll thread (1) make a list < 25 teams, (2) include FCS teams, (3) put team(s) on more than once.

So, @NU_FTW's poll will be included.

This is preseason I'm dead ass serious , even if there's an apparent method to my madness

Agree. Getting a 2 score lead on Iowa is Light the Cigar time.

Hmmm. Maybe only old folks will get the reference

Illinois is undefeated and Ohio State hasn't won a single game yet

Precisely and Nebraska can still go 15-0

Not this year, foo.

Number 1 in your heart, number 196th on the field

Nope we're undefeated

I can tell you who isn’t going to be good and that’s Tennessee. Too much hype about them and that never goes well.

Auburn needs more hype...things are too quiet on the Plains and I don't like it.

I’m curious as to why everyone seems so high on Texas A&M, USC, Wisconsin, and Miami (FL).

Ditto for Penn St and Texas.

Haven't put out my top 25 yet but

A&M (in my top 10) - Top 10 in defensive drive efficiency last season and I think they get better at QB this year with Max Johnson.
Wisc (top 25) - It's Wisconsin, #2 in defensive drive efficiency last season and Braelon Allen is one of the best backs in the country
USC (top 25) - A good QB and playcaller can do wonders for a team. I wouldn't be surprise if this is a top 10 offense
Miami (borderline top 25) - I think TVD could be the best QB in the conference / top 10 in the country but I'm not too sold on the rest of the roster.

Ditto for Penn St and Texas.

Yeah, that's a hard pass

 

[Skerpokes]

Rankings Shmankings. How about just make a bowl game.

6 teams are favored in every game

Bama, OU, UGA, Ohio St, Utah and Air Force

OU is the only team favored by at least a TD in every game.
