***Official Preseason Polls Thread***

[The Dude]

I agree with a lot of the article, but I also think we're a top 15 team even with an offense that tends to go full retard on a regular basis.

just just because the full "full retard" quote deserves it.

 

 

Never go full retard.

45 FUMBLES MY GAWD

 

Where the hell were you??

 

Everytime T-mart put one on the turf, my TV's life expectancy decreased

I think I blocked it out. I knew we fumbled a lot, but that number just seems made up.

 

Jesus, I wish I'd have blocked that out, would have made parts of the season MUCH easier to handle...

Or maybe I just blacked-out as I turned Nebraska fumbles into a drinking game.

Genius, it's a win-win.

 

 

Seriouisly though, I hope we are putting more emphasis on ball-security this season.

After our performance in last years bowl i think it's its an acceptable ranking

[Saunders]

It's not the #24 ranking that is completely stupid (although, IMO, it is rather low). It's the comparative ranking based on other teams.

 

#5 Missouri

#9 South Carolina

#12 Georgia

#14 Florida

#16 Miami

#20 Notre Dame

 

That list is a complete joke.

[knapplc]

They don't seriously have Missouri at #5, do they? That has to be a typo.

I normally like Scout's analysis, but this just reeks of stupidity.

[knapplc]

Gatorsports (a Florida Gator publication) has us at #12.

I'm with Knap on this one.

Doesn't Mizzery have a sports journalism school?

[irafreak]

Missouri has an unproven quarterback? #5! Really?

That's completely baffling. They get beat by Iowa to end their season, lose their best offensive player and probably their best defensive player, and they start a new QB, and they're #5 in this ranking. Makes no sense.

 

To be fair, I expect Missouri to have a solid team. They will contend for the Big XII title this year, and nobody in that conference should overlook them. But they are no more a top-ten team than we are. They were #21 in the Coaches Poll, which is probably a little low with that defense, but they'll easily move up if they play within themselves.
