Is this poll as to where he would rank the teams today? Or is it projected order of finish? Is based upon returning production? If so, I can see the argument for Oregon. They return a lot of production on both sides of the ball. But then how do you juxtapose that with Alabama at No.3 who is among the bottom of the country in returning production?
"Well Alabama has earned the benefit of the doubt that no matter what they will at least be a 10 win team." Fair statement. But are you telling me Oregon (with a second year HC) and Texas (with Steve Sarkisian) has earned that same benefit of the doubt? "Well, no, but they have a lot coming back?" Ok, then why aren't they ranked ahead of Alabama?
Tennessee doesn't return a ton of production either...but they are at 9? FSU brings back a lot of production. More than Tennessee and Penn St. But they are ranked behind those two teams?
As with just about every set of rankings the author uses different logic through and sliding scales to justify their subjective opinions.
