If the defense keeps that swagger, it doesn't matter how much of a target is on their backs.

Osu will be #1 until they lose. Defending champs and their defense looks pretty stacked.

Crazy. So much for flying under the radar!

Its kind of dumb to rank teams before the season and really even after a couple of games too many unknowns. I certainly wish we were not #1.

CFB needs to start ranking teams 1st of October, would provide a much more accurate picture of how the season really went.

Preseason rankings are pointless. I know it is just hype, but the real ranking should come after week 1. A complete shuffle based on results.

This is a hypothetical ranking if the committee had to rank teams. Almost no shot we’re going to jump to that in the AP after this week

It's a fun little game they play with the preseason and early rankings but they don't fricking matter. All that aside, I would have LSU at #2 behind OSU.

This - all the pre-season stuff is just for giving sportswriters something to bloviate about.

Personally, I prefer when LSU flies under the radar, and there are a lot of people in the papers doubting LSU that’s to me when LSU is the scariest and most dangerous

I think early season you should reward teams who go win games.

Miami OSU LSU should be top 3 imo. Top 10 preseason and beat another preseason top team
