:lmao Stanford #2

:lol Aggie at #3

:rollin Vandy @ #23

[rjv]

that's way too high for a&m considering their weaknesses on the front seven on the defensive side of the ball. i do think vandy can pull off some upsets this year though.

[DesignatedT]

If Manziel is ruled eligible I don't think that's too high. Sure, they have some glaring concerns on the defensive side of the ball but the offense looks like it's going to be spectacular and if the defense just plays at an average level the Aggies have another double digit win season IMO. The schedule sets up very nice.

Stanford at 2 i don't agree with and Vandy at 23 does seem a bit high as well.

I also don't agree with Georgia being the third best team in the SEC East. I would have them ranked higher than SC and Florida.

Texas at 11 is laughable and the fact that they are ranked higher than Georgia has me rolling. Georgia would beat the sips by three touchdowns.

TCU at 16 also looks high.

[symple19]

I like Aggie in the top 10, but 3 is just too high, imo

I would put Ole Missus in the top 25 before Vandy...Hell, Tennessee should be better than the 'Dores this year

[symple19]

I think UT has all the ingredients to be a top 10 program... Minus the coach :lol

They return a lot of starters but people look into that too much. I still don't like Ashtray, they are weak at the receiver position, and they have some holes defensively as well. Saying that, I still see them winning 9 this year, maybe 10 with a bowl and with the way they collect votes that might put them in the top 10 final standings.

I would put Ole Missus in the top 25 before Vandy...Hell, Tennessee should be better than the 'Dores this year agreed. ole miss, imho, is going to be dangerous for some teams (including a&m playing them on the road again this year). their early game in Austin could be the best game no one gets to see (thanks longhorn network !)

[DesignatedT]

Ole Miss @ Vandy week 1 on Thursday should tell us a lot. I think Ole Miss is certainly dangerous but I don't think they will be as good as some are making them out to be. Hard seeing them win more than 3 out of their first 7 games.

sorry senor that you cant have your cake and eat it too

tbh, all polls until at least conference play are laughable.

no respect for notre dame

den after winning all their games they will magically be overrated


BCS prediction
Alabama v Ohio State (both undefeated)
ND v some 1 loss SEC team

Notre Dame will lose 2-3 games this year at least.

[Bill_Brasky]

Notre Dame is officially not allowed in NC games until they stop playing HS joke teams and join a fucking conference. I really can't believe that old shitty relic still gets so much hype.

:lmao

Never change, Aggie :lol

[pgardn]

The most important position on the field has Texas with the panic ridden David Ash. And we are #15.

I don't get this consistent over rating. All those stars next to recruits means nothing unless kids step up. These recruits have got to improve instead of being satisfied with the best helmet in college football. They love that Longhorn.

[Bill_Brasky]

This will be the year MBTF coddles all those precious 4 and 5 star recruits all the way to the title baby.

It's been time for Mack to go. Missing out on Luck, Griffin, and Manziel in favor of David Ash, Garrett Gilbert and Case McC:loly

[Clipper Nation]

:lol The Turdfaggot has one more season to clap, coddle, and choke before Saban takes his job, tbh....

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Does anyone rememba how sensitive the mookie crew got about Mack Brownturdfaggit coddling his players :lol

[The Reckoning]

no? i think it's a common consensus that he does.
