wildcat2334 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 RankingsSurprises me to see Cal and Nebraska in the top 20 1251563[/snapback] Why?? Pretty consistent Top 25 team last few years. Tedford is getting great recruits, once he gets a good QB in place that O will take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 They shouldn't even have rankings until mid-season. Pre-season rankings are a joke, and don't mean squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWPFFL BrianW Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Pre season rankings are the reason we get crap like 04' Oklahoma in a National Championship game despite a better undefeated team out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkis Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I hope they're correct, but there is only one program that shoots this whole ranking dead..... Michigan at 11. They were supposed to "grow" after the first year. How is Carr going to develop them anymore now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWPFFL BrianW Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 They severely underachieved this year, much like Auburn did in 2003. However, Auburn finished 2003 strong, whereas Michigan lost there last 2 games, and never got on track. Still, they have a ton of talent on offense, and no doubt will be in the Big Ten Title mix. They're Michigan. Simply stated, they'll be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeohiostate Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) I think any college football fan can agree that pre season rankings don't help any, and often have hurt legitimate contenders. It would be nice for no polls to be released until week 4 or 5 and let some strength show itself.....that could never happen though, as you'd have polls of what the polls will be and they'd influence the voters also. Really, you have to deal with what we have or just be miserable. Edited January 18, 2006 by theeohiostate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, you might get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWPFFL BrianW Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Didnt you pick OU to win it all in 05. 1274122[/snapback] um no. But I did have a lot of fun playing with them on NCAA 06'. The Oklahoma-UCLA game and Oklahoma-Texas games are still on my top 10 greatest games list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
