No Longhorns, Aggies or Sooners.

Wow...Frogs and Bears in the Top 3??? We've officially entered the Twilight Zone!

 

[Sirhornsalot]

I am shocked. Shocked I tell you. ONLY TWO SEC TEAMS IN THE TOP 10???? LOL

TCU #1. Wow. Just wow. Big 12 with two of the top 3 teams. Wow.

Pardon me, but Baylor replaces a QB. No way they're #3 in the country starting out. No way. This is like ranking S Carolina last year, who also was replacing a QB>

 

[Tejas fan]

Is this the mea culpa for TCU? The timing of this is a much needed recruiting boost for the Big 12. I won't complain about Baylor being ranked too high because if it isn't them it will be someone else.

 

[utisdabomb12]

TCU is built to win a title next year. Man they are returning a lot from a very good team this year. 

A team that's underrated IMO is Auburn. Muschamp is going to do wonders with that defense. I also think they are upgrading at QB. Marshall is a good QB but is limited in the passing game. 

A team that's overrated IMO is Oklahoma State. They beat a crumbling Oklahoma team and average Washington team at the end of the season, and now they are good?

Baylor relies on outscoring opponents to win games - they lose Petty, Goodley and Norwood.  Ranking them at No. 3 is a joke.

 

[primal defense]

He did a good job last year picking this year's ranking. Last year at this time he had 1 Florida State, 2 Alabama, 3 Oregon, and he missed on Ohio State at 9.

 

[utisdabomb12]

What would be your top 5? 

Mine would be 1) TCU 2) Ohio State 3) Arizona State 4) USC 5) Auburn

I think Arkansas will be the favorite to win the SEC West next season

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Laughing at Alabama returning TWO starters on offense, but still being ranked #10. 

When you look at what other SEC teams are losing, Arkansas is set up for a nice season.

No Longhorns, Aggies or Sooners. 

Not one of the 3 have shown they should be in the top 25 starting next season

 

[jrcruz1026]

Boise State looks to bounce back to mediocrity now that they have Harsin back

Always never too early to look forward to 2015 season! Looking at TOP 5 schedule:

• TCU has a tricky season opener @ Minnesota.  Jerry Kill's doing a fantastic job at Minnesota.
• Baylor's toughest game is @ TCU.
• tOSU open @ Virginia Tech.  I foresee a blowout game for the Buckeyes.  Again, schedule's very favorable for another undefeated season.
• USC play @ Arizona St, @ Notre Dame, @ Oregon.
• Oregon plays 2nd game of season @ Michigan St.

Here are a couple more 2015 polls:

Fox Sports

USA Today

These rankings are all over the place.  USA Today has Stanford in the Top 5! LOL

I already miss college football

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

My Top 3 for next season:

Ohio St

TCU

Michigan St

SEC Teams I like:  Arkansas and Tennessee

PAC conference, again strongest top to bottom, but can't pin point a runaway top tier team to compete for Playoff spot.

I was thinking the same thing, but it's good to see Big12 teams getting some love for a change!

 

[Sirhornsalot]

A team that's overrated IMO is Oklahoma State. They beat a crumbling Oklahoma team and average Washington team at the end of the season, and now they are good? 

They found a QB. He's pretty good. They will be a big problem for us next year.

Not sure I'd call tOSU a miss. . .

I am sad OU isn't ranked high again, always good to see them under perform. . .
