I think most people had Miami, Texas Tech, and Vandy expected to be very good? The only real surprise was BYU

Miami was 10th preseason (1 spot behind LSU). Texas Tech was 23rd. Vandy was not ranked.

We should have a preseason top 25 thread so everyone can post their top 25 rankings and we can revisit them at the end of the year. I bet they would all be very accurate.

Just an opinion of another “expert” so we just have to prove it. We play 6 or 7 teams ahead of us. Only thing to do is take care of business and beat them.

That's right, folks. Navy is a stronger team than LSU.

I think Phil needs to retire.


“Last year my analytics correctly picked all the teams in the playoffs and the national champion was my 34 ranked dark horse teams to possibly make it into the playoffs. So I am the only publication to correctly pick the national champion the last 92 seasons.”
