I will say we come in at #9. There is going to be at least one team that sneaks into the top 10 that is nowhere to be found there right now. As others have said, these AP voters are lazy and do a lot of name on the jersey, returning players and recruiting rankings from the previous year. I expect Oregon to get a decent ranking for that last reason I said. Maybe not in front of us but all of that young talent likely garners them a top-15 ranking. after this year going 4-3 you wouldn’t say that was likely but I bet they are right in that #14-16 area.
Maybe I will be surprised but I don’t see #5 or 6 for us because of the blue blood crap that happens every year.
