Kinda hard to believe Texas was never preseason #1.

...and 8 ACC teams plus ND are ahead of SU. Possibly more but none of the remainders received votes.

Hard to believe we received no votes. We received some votes from coaches.

Almost every year, one team in the top 10 goes unranked at the end of the year. Last year I picked FSU. Who will it be for this year? I wanted to pick LSU but I just think this year it will be Miami. They are “always back” but somehow never are. Who do you all think it will be?

Miami has eight home games. If they end up unranked, Cristobal should be fired.

OUr Orange have a shot at displacing Clemson, ND, and Miami. It's still August, I am going for the trifecta!

I would not be surprised if Miami falls. Cristobal is not a good manager of high level athletes. He's a little over .500 with Oregon and Miami talent. I honestly think we have a reasonable chance to be at them in Miami if our QB plays is decent.

Cristobal Is a good recruiter but not so good game coach. If the go unranked, I agree that he should be fired.

Preseason rankings are for TV….all that matters is the end of the year

#17 Kansas State vs. #22 Iowa State Week 0 in Ireland is a fantastic start to the season. Very evenly matched game. Reminds me of the Kickoff Classic back in the day which was always a solid matchup.

 

[blust2i3d4]

Any chance we beat Tennessee?

 

[sufandu]

Any chance we beat Tennessee?

Sure. They deserve to be favored, but they're at the bottom of the top 25. If the young talent is ready, we'll have a shot.

 

[Toga]

Any chance we beat Tennessee?

If we can hold uniform violations to a minimum.

 

[Strathless]

If we can hold uniform violations to a minimum.

 

[Chip]

If we can hold uniform violations to a minimum.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

Uniform violation calls happen once a lifetime. Maybe we should be more appreciative that we got to experience it.

And little did we know that those egregious uniform violations resulted in them winning a natty.

 

[PAcuse]

Top Ten teams I want to see be unranked at end of year
PSU - we all know why
LSU - Brain Kelly killed a kid
OSU- Day is a giant tool

But I would pick LSU, they have a tough road schedule and if that Defense does not get a lot better I could see them with 5 - 6 loses.

That, and Arkansas's Clint Stoerner just setting the ball on the ground late in the game.

 

[Eric15]

That, and Arkansas's Clint Stoerner just setting the ball on the ground late in the game.

And not having to play against Chris Weinke in the national title game. He was injured.

1998 would have been an amazing season for a 12 team playoff.

 

[Eric15]

If Florida goes 9-3 against this schedule, they should be in the 12 team field no questions asked. Insane.

at #9 LSU
at #10 Miami
vs #1 Texas
at #19 Texas A&M
vs. #5 Georgia
@ #21 Ole Miss
@ #24 Tennessee

And then also FSU who will probably will be somewhat back.

Agreed, just not sure they break .500. See the thread where the FSU DC is calling out players for not giving it 100%. He's right to do so but has two weeks to make it happen...against Alabama.

Besides, after we beat Tennessee, they will want revenge against any ACC team they meet.

Or twice in one particular game. Isn't that a Talking Heads lyric? "Twice in a Lifetime"??

Notre Dame and Miami

Also think Indiana and SMU will not meet expectations

I legit am so excited for this game. Week 0 is like a perfect preview to the CFB craziness that every Saturday will be for 12+ weeks in a row following that Saturday. I can’t believe it’s next weekend. Summer moves fast.
