Blackshirt316 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 17 and atop the division would be great... but his top 15 is all full of wtf 1.Florida St 2.Oklahoma 3.LSU 4.USC 5.Alabama 6.Oregon 7.Texas 8.Georgia 9.Wisconsin 10.Florida 11.Ohio St 12.Oklahoma St 13.North Carolina 14.Clemson 15.UCF Quote Link to comment

Oklahoma State, UNC, and UCF shouldn't be in the top 50. Clemson i guess is o.k...this is very questionable to me, but i guess that's why im not the expert, i guess we will see. Quote Link to comment

The magazine hasn't officially dropped yet and has only been released in a few select locations. If its true.... FSU, Wisconsin,UCF, UNC and Ok St are too high, South Carolina and Michigan too low.

Jaybird Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Preseason rankings in magazines like this are interesting to talk about. I always anxiously await these college football magazines to drop in the summer as well. As for the actual AP and coaches preseason ranking I personally feel they are a complete waste of time. I think they should at least wait until conference season before the first poll comes out. Quote Link to comment

'SkersRule Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It is my personal belief that the team which wins the national championship at the end of the season should, by default, start the following season #1. Florida St starting out #1? LOL. This has to based off of recruiting classes and nothing more. Oklahoma #2? They lose stud Ryan Broyles to the NFL, their next best WR has been suspended indefinitely from the team and that means they'll be playing a bunch of true and redshirt freshman receivers. They are talented to be sure but inexperience will cause some lumps for the Sooners. LSU #3...This I can see. Sure they lost Micheal Brockers who was a 1st round selection at DT but one thing LSU has is some great DTs. They lost their top two QBs but last season the LSU offense was so terrible that this season with a new QB they could actually be better. USC #4...Based on the hype of their QB. The Trojans better hope that Barkley doesn't get hurt. Oregon #6? They lost a ton of production from their offense. They'll still be good, but probably not that good. The rest? He must be just throwing darts at a board. Quote Link to comment

I think somebody last year looked at the URLs, saw the pattern and found the unreleased pages I tried doing that earlier and no dice. Anyhow this is the fourth place I've seen this exact list so either someone was able to work the links out or they picked up an advance copy from Barnes and Noble who've been selling copies early.

Decked Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 His depth chart is wrong. Reeves is a Guard now not C Center will be Pensick. QB: Mart RB: REX FB: Marrow WR: Bell WR: Marlowe WR: Enunwa TE: Cotton C: Pensick RG: Long LG: Who knows RT: Rodriguez LT: Moore K: Maher DE: Martin DT Chase Rome DT: Steinkuhler DE: Mexi Stash LB: Anderson could easily be replaced with Whaley MLB: Compton LB: Fisher CB: Seisay CB: Green SS: Stafford FS: Smith P: Maher Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I will bet Steele $500 that FSU doesnt win the Title. ACC is weak Florida St is weaker. ACC<Big east<BIG or PAC 12<Big 12<SEC. Quote Link to comment

So the ACC is greater than the Big East which is greater than the Big Ten/Pac 12 which are better than the Big 12 which is better than the SEC? Quote Link to comment

But seriously typed the wrong signs by accident fixed now. Quote Link to comment
