Ags at 5, horn nowhere to be found. But I thought they were favored in every game but Bama? Never thought I would see such an honest preseason poll.

Been seeing USC inflated quite a bit in a lot of these. Lots of hype. Will be interesting to see how they actually perform.

That's still a trash top 25, even if Ags are 5th on it. Utah at 3? Notre Dame 6 and NC State 7? Cougar HIgh at 13? I could go on...

C'mon, man!
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

If only we could jump ND at the end of the year.

February- Garbage
August- Shows promise

I don't remember ever seeing an ESPN preseason ranking without the horns. Almost wish they were there, that program's downturn has been a direct result of their own hubris.

Love me some Aggie football but don't see us really competing for a playoff spot next year. Among other things, we still have issues on OL.

If they can somehow manage to get to 1-0, they'll be in top 15. Ugh

The same USC that went 4-8 last season and lost their freshman phenom qb to ole miss is somehow good enough for 12th?

To be fair, on the QB front they added the freshman phenom that already knows the new coaches offense.

On no earth is Jaxon Dart on Caleb Williams level. They've upgraded in talent, but is it worthy of a top 15 rating? Time will tell. Personally, I don't think Lincoln has retooled the defense well enough. But that might fly in the pac12.

Agreed, I had completely blanked on the Caleb Williams transfer. With that being said, USC has been mediocre at best the last 10-15 years and it's gonna take more than one year to turn that ship around.

Did u know our team? OL was a weakness LAST year. It is NOT a weakness this year unless coaching is the issue. We should have a good OL this year. Hopefully we start a QB that doesn't make em look bad.

I hate to see us at #5. A single loss other than Bama males the entire season a disappointment and then the ESPN **** talk starts. Well the ESPN crap talk just continues.

And for once in my life Texas isn't ranked! Magical. But you know what will happen now? They probably win the Big 12 and make the playoffs. Sure hope I am wrong but that would be the irony of it all.

They had a pretty good season last year and the PAC blows. They could easily repeat as PAC champs.

Don't worry. By August the Horns will have made such great off season progress they will be in the top 25.

Probably not. The PAC is absolutely terrible.

This. Preseason polls are always about trying to predict teams' final records. They are a decent team in a crap conference.
What surprises me is how low Clemson is. I guess they are taking a wait and see approach to them after all the turnover. But they still have way more talent than anyone else in the ACC.

And you can also see what ESPN thinks of the BDF. Since they figure both tu and ou are gonna suck this year, they aren't even trying to hype okie lite or Baylor to make their rsums seem better.
I mean someone has to win that conference and they probably won't have more than one loss if they play a weak OOC. And the best they do is rank okie lite at 10.
