Texas loses their entire defense and possibly 2 leading WRs

How are they above LSU which return everybody?

Aside from everyone thinking UF will be the second best team in the SEC East, wtf are they being ranked so high and thought so well of right now?

They haven't finished in the top 10 in recruiting in any of the last 4 cycles.

I think the respect they're getting is bit much, and we should be ashamed of dropping that game to them earlier this year.

I don't think Texas is preseason top 10. They lose too many players. This seems to be what AP preseason poll is based on unless your name is Alabama.

Texas loses some significant players. They'll be good, but I don't know if I'm ready to say #6 just yet. They still lost 4 games this past season. This is a bit of an overreaction to last night.

Other than the name "Michigan" and Harbaugh's past glory at other stops (Stanford, San Francisco), why is Michigan still thought of so highly? In 4 years of the Harbaugh era they still don't have a signature win or a win over Ohio St. In fact, most of the time they don't even look like they belong on the same field with any team with a pulse. The highest final ranking they've had under Harbaugh is #10...yet they're the projected #8 team in the country next season? How about you actually do something of note first.

I dont agree.



I don’t agree either, but this may work out in our favor.

Beat Texas and perceptions change immediately.

So we likely have to beat the 1,3,6,10 from that list to get into the playoffs. Jesus

They likely will play 4 top ten teams at game time, but it won't be the 4 from these preseason rankings.

I haven’t even looked at other teams returning starters yet, but even I can tell you LSU should be a top-5 team with everything we have coming back.

We don’t need to beat Bama to get into the playoffs next year, especially if we keep it somewhat close on the road. Take care of everyone else and we will be in.
