It’s a good spot to start from.

Any issue LSU has, A&M has worse.

1-5 looks right and all of those deserve be in the top 5 IMHO.

6-16 is a mess and could be completely interchangeable. Not sold on any in that bunch. LSU could be easily be better than any of them.

Based on how good they should be or the schedule they will play?

Both. Returning talent and schedule.

You disagree?

They have an advantage over LSU from a schedule perspective.

- tune up before going on the road to face a pac 12 opponent
- get Mizzou and South Carolina from the east
- Bama at home

So factor the schedule in with returning almost their entire defense that was #1 in the SEC last season and new qb who can't be worse than Mond. The biggest question mark is are they going to be able to play ground and pound while breaking in a new offensive line.

I disagree with teams being ranked because of their schedule. Oklahoma tends to be ranked highly every year based on schedule only.

This is a HUGE year for perception with us and A&M.

Have to beat them. Cannot lose that game

Really it needs to be nasty

Needs to be a double digit win that’s never in doubt.

There's just a gigantic drop off after the top 5 going into this season. There's little doubt that top 5 will have probably 2 loss or less season but anyone in that 6-10 range could be also a 2 loss team or finished unranked as well. There's just a lot of uncertainty coming into this year who will be the top teams after the usual top group.

Surprised to see Notre Dame not in the top five… are sportswriters finally coming to their senses?

looks right, i think OU and Bama play for the title and I actually think OU is better this year.

I think Iowa St is WAY overrated and will lose 3 games.


LSU should be top 5 and will be by the Bama game.
