Texas didn't get any first-place votes this time? Sad!

 

[Colorado]

Am I wrong in thinking this year is wide open in almost every conference?

Nothing about ISU. This is a good thing.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I'm selling OU at #9.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I'm actually REALLY shocked to not see Iowa in the top 25. I legit thought they would be in the 16-18 range.

 

[Daserop]

Charmin soft schedule of the year goes to Mississippi.

 

[NorthCyd]

Charmin soft schedule of the year goes to Mississippi.

Look at Georgia's schedule. They might be double digit favorites in every game.

feel like it's better if new plus 4 weren't highlighted on both.

Probably Randy.

Reporter stuck in the 90s?

Nebraska hasn't shown one oz of a pulse in a decade.

 

[CascadeClone]

Am I wrong in thinking this year is wide open in almost every conference?

Depends on your definition of "wide open". I don't think so, except for the Big12.

ACC is going to be Clemson. Who else is there? Pitt lost everyone. Miami maybe?
SEC will be Bama or GA. Outside chance for TAMU.
B1G will be tOSU. Outside chance for PSU.
Pac10 will be Utah or USC. Oregon is a mess rn.
Big12 you have probably 4-5 teams legit contending.

 

[mitchforcy]

Nothing about ISU. This is a good thing.

It's better for the brand of the program to be ranked in the top 25. The AP poll is meaningless but the more we have a ranking next to our name the better.

 

[ExCyment]

Obviously Clemson's bowl victory last year over a tough opponent vaulted them back into playoff contention.

Someone still votes for Nebraska.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

I’m fine with this. Let’s just get to game 4 undefeated and see how this team really matches up.

 

[exCYtable]

Has any team ever won a national title that didn't receive a single vote in the AP preseason poll? Or will we be the first team to ever do it this year?
