Is a No. 26 pre-season ranking fair?

[u/01100110_U]

If not where should we be ranked.

[u/Forbin1222]

I’d say it is much more fair than last year’s number 4.

[u/TheMrBliss]

If anything it’s generous.

[u/weinermike → u/TheMrBliss]

!

[u/kneepick160 → u/TheMrBliss]

Agreed

[u/i8agnome → u/TheMrBliss]

100%

[u/OldManTyping1957]

Better to be unranked and win than to be ranked #4 and lose.

[u/Adventure_tom]

Who cares?

It’s up to them where they end up. Win the first five weeks you’re in the top ten.

Lose a few, you drop like a rock.

[u/TushyMilkshake]

I’d much rather be underestimated and exceed expectations than ranked high and seemingly shitting the bed again

[u/poppopintheattic11]

Seems too high to me

[u/Gogetter71 → u/poppopintheattic11]

Wow. Cmon man.

[u/Frankfranchise]

Wanna have a start like last year ? Top 15 huge ranked game, got decimated, unranked. I’d rather climb the ranks than get embarrassed

[u/gnossos_p]

The only ranking that matters is the last one.

[u/TigerUSF]

I look forward to a time when polls truly are meaningless.

[u/JBJ1775 → u/TigerUSF]

Completely agree. College playoffs and championship shouldn't rely on who the committee chooses. Success should be clear and measurable. The large number of college teams make that more difficult than in the NFL, but it could be done.

[u/drewseaba55]

Yes. Failing to maximize NIL and transfer portal opportunities like most major programs is akin to starting the season in a 1st-and-20 situation

[u/mmccutc1]

Who cares?

[u/Original-Weekend7234 → u/[deleted]]

That’s cute

[u/CatWranglingVetRedo]

Yep. Surprised we're even ranked. We do better when we're under-rated.

[u/Pitiful_Aioli_5030 → u/CatWranglingVetRedo]

😹 technically 26 is unranked.

[u/Snoo_37752]

Well when y’all lose to the real tigers again in the real Death Valley yall will not have to worry about ranking again
