David Marsh No. 2 Share Posted August 30 Thats fine... We can be unranked for most of the season for all I care. I don't think anyone should be ranked until the end of September personally. Preseason rankings are all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 3 Share Posted August 30 No, I do not want to be lowly ranked, and have to watch teams above us-hoping for their loss. it is much easier to start at No. 3, keep winning, and retain a very high seed. Beat Ohio State and be a No. 2 seed, and if the Bulldogs slip…hold my heart! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Ohio State and be a No. 2 seed, and if the Bulldogs slip…hold my heart! I have to agree. Even after a few games it is not easy to rank spots 6 - 20. Generally, the top 5 seem fairly accurate unless injuries take out key players. We just happen to be highly ranked this year. We have always had to battle to move up the rankings. Plus, as stated, the seeding for the playoff is going to be important as to where you play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasDuck No. 6 Share Posted August 31 I’m not a fan of playing the Idahos and Portland States of the world. I don’t think it benefits us. We should play out of conference opponents no lower than Mountain West level. Just my two cents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongwoodDuck No. 7 Share Posted August 31 Nobody lower than Oregon State. That's a great idea! I'm kidding. I agree though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preseason rankings are all over the place. I don’t mind, especially the first game to get the kinks out. Most of the other top teams schedule these games. SEC schools schedule 2-3. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
