Ohio State is the first pre-season unanimous #1 in the history of the AP poll.

Incredible.

And well deserved.. This team is LOADED..... They could put together a season like FSU did in 2013...They dominated EVEYONE... This team could be on the way to being one of the greatest teams in NCAA history, YES even as good as 1972 USC,1971 Neb, 1995 Neb and 2001 Miami.............

I know that no one has played a down yet, but is TCU really supposed to be that strong? Are they legit?


They should be really good. Their head coach recognized his offense was terrible, so he got the frick out the way and hired qualified guys to run it. I wish other head coaches were able to adjust to the times and adapt.

Yep. That will happen when you're a quality team and you play 1 ranked opponent all season.

Does anyone understand what informs these preseason polls? They do have substantial potential influence on final rankings. No doubt about that. Given how LSU played last year finishing unranked, 14 seems, again, generous.

If they cannot have a much better offense offense than last year (read a legitimate passing game), then the odds are that they will finish the 2015 campaign unranked as well.

I watched the Florida game again and, wow, what a pathetically impotent offense it was. So often could not get out of its own way. Here's hoping...

like being anywhere from 11-15. I believe we started out both NC seasons there.


The 2007 team started off at #2 behind USC

Agree with you. My issues are with Baylor and UCLA

Why would you have a problem with either?

UCLA brings back most of their defense and every starter on offense minus the QB. And from what people have said, Rosen has been ripping it up.

Baylor brings 18 starters back. On offense, two 1000 yard WRs, a 1250 yard RB, all 5 OL, and the TE. They bring back the entire DL, 1/2 LBs, and 4/5 of the secondary. Seth Russell is a dual threat and will be a beast at QB. Over the past 4 years, they've went through 3 QBs, all three have had at least 3800 passing yards (would be 4100+ 4 straight years had Petty not been injured last year), 32 TDs, 9.0 ypa, and 61% completion. Russell had 804 yards 9.5 ypa 8 TDs 1 int 185 rush yards 5.78 ypc and 3 TDs last year.

Yeah I know their defense sucks really, but the DL has serious potential.

The front line is very strong, LB's pretty good but the secondary needs to step up big time. As pass happy as the Big XII is that could be the area that cost them the conference title.

Exactly. Can't understand why people care, and especially before a single game has been played And given the new playoff selection committee, the polls are irrelevant.

They're a relic from a bygone era. Ignore them.
