The Front Row

I don't see why this preseason list is that bad? What do people expect? It's difficult to pick preseason teams. It's a reasonable list.

Oklahoma returns a lot of talent whether they do something with that talent is a different story. Oregon lost James, but Thomas and Barner are equal if not better than James. Oregon's QBs have been a bit plug and play and the Pac 12 will never be confused for a tough conference so they have some time to smooth out the rough edges.

The only team I have a problem with is FSU. On paper, this team always looks great, but they have none of the intangibles of a successful football team. FSU should not sniff the top 20 until they prove it on the field.

I don't have a problem with our ranking. We were a 7 loss team last year. I think we'll adjust quickly to Meyer's offense, but I understand the hesitation with a new system. Uncertainty at RB, no big play makers at WR, and a lack of OL depth are legitimate reasons to be concerned. In my biased opinion, I think we'll finish in the top 10, but I'd be hesitatnt to put us in the top 20 with a lot of uncertainty.
