Texas ranked yet again. One of many reasons pre-season polls mean nothing.

Don't worry they'll get theirs. Sort of like this --

The New Big 12 is going to be just as tough.

Of note adding the 6 wanted PAC schools would add 2 top-25 and 0 others receiving votes. College football is in decline in the west.

1:40 mark with the flip to Chris Farley reincarnated is easily the Top 5 moments of the 2021 season.

Him falling down celebrating had to only deepen the burn.

That voter should be removed.

I'm surprised Texas isn't bribing all the voters.

Know how movies made under one of the Disney umbrellas always seem to have stellar reviews despite poor audience scores and objectively being terrible (e.g., The Force Awakens, etc.)?

Pretty sure the Mouse was pulling a, "Let's just say it moved me... INTO A BIGGER HOUSE!"

No reason Texas couldn't do that with a bunch of near-impoverished sportswriters and GAs, right?

Massive hypothetical and getting way ahead of myself, but if somehow ISU pulls a shocker and starts 3-0, we'd likely be ranked and that Baylor game would have massive B12 impact and would be quite the game to kick off the conference slate

The way Eastern Iowa is crowing, I swore I would see them top 15.

EDIT: That being said...looks like it's Iowa vs Nebraska for the West so they'll rack up 10 wins again and get slaughtered by whoever comes out of the East
Meh, they get Ohio St and Michigan this year. If they don't have anything better than Petras, they're going to have to get every bounce of the ball to get 9 wins. They did it last year, so who knows, but there's no way they can keep pumping out all american kickers to save Brian's ass.

Wisconsin is ranked #20 in the preseason coaches poll. Not that they are good, but they are better than Nebraska.

Scary thing is… KU should be much better this year. No one should take them for granted.
Maybe because the only game I saw them play was vs. ISU but that was a really bad football team last year. I think they have a good coach finally, but they were bad last year.

Texas is becoming Nebraska just 10 years later. Get a title long long ago and voters think it's just bound to happen again.
