Duke to the Big East plz, need two jersey schools in the conference.

Duke is a Methodist school, not Catholic.

A-10 is a real possibility, though.

Where's Duke.

And by Duke, I mean Rutgers.

This is actually pretty cool:

ECU's offer letters look like pirate scrolls:

Letter is also misspelled.

Fucking ECU...

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I was going to make fun of a lot of these rankings, but then I saw Clemson somehow got 7 first place votes so I'm going to keep my fucking mouth shut.

In my initial skim I superimposed the "Texas" at 23 over the "Virginia" part of 22 and wondered for a split second what lunatics put us in the top 25. :jnc

Damn. You must really have difficulty reading docs on Excel then.

On a more related note, I would Switch Texas' spot in the rankings for TCU.

"Skim" in the first post was actually probably overrating what I actually did. More like "vague glance as I mouse wheeled past."

I gotcha. If the eyes 👀 process info at 30 FPS, on the very first frame you saw Texas Tech

 

[GoldenEye 007]

USF is probably going to be the yearly G5 team people will talk about for the access bowl slot or playoff.

All because they'll likely be undefeated most of the season from a joke of a schedule. Especially out of conference.

 

[LionPride]

Quinton Flowers is the only player I care about this year besides Lamar Jackson and the sophomore at Houston

Flowers because shit he's good

Lamar because I swear if he gets asked to move positions because "he's an athlete playing Quarterback" I'm gonna flip

And the Houston player because that mane is good

More will pop up as the season progresses but like...fuck Rosen and Darnold honestly

Josh Allen is good tho

 

[perfectchaos007]

Charlie Strong inherited a better ranked program than the one he left. Props to him for failing upwards

It's not Strong's fault Texas is the worst.

South of Columbus, Ohio, I mean.

LOL @ Ohio State

Not sure they could even score on Clemson this year if we played them again.

Do they have an easy schedule?

I thought we hit our maximum allotment of Clemson fans already? I suppose we can realign Az to South Carolina to make room, though.

Good call.

Also, move Lonestar to Auburn.

The Rodgers brothers were criminally underrated!

I'm sure USC fans still have nightmares about Quizz Rodgers running all over them. Same play over and over again.

[perfectchaos007]

The Rodgers brothers were criminally underrated!

I remember one interview after a big win a reporter asked:

Reporter: "How were you able to find the endzone and win the game?"
Rodgers: "I'm small so nobody could see me!"

On behalf of Clemson University, we disown all other Clemson fans on this forum.

Why can other NCAA sports like basketball and soccer have preseason games but not football?

 

[LionPride]

Oh fuck I just realized I have to rep UTK football

Fuck me

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Why can other NCAA sports like basketball and soccer have preseason games but not football?

That's what non-P5 opponents are for. Morons just schedule them later in the season for some stupid reason.

But really, week 1 top 10 match-ups shouldn't be a thing. TV loves it, sure, but these teams aren't actually ready for that.

The upside is that if you keep it competitive, a week 1 loss isn't going to kill you.

closest they have is the spring games.

I remember some proposals where spring games would be between separate teams

LionPride, you didn't just realize you had to sing Rocky Top at the top of your lungs every Saturday.

This is an achievement of a lifelong dream.

Exactly. If Alabama could play Grambling State in the spring, maybe they wouldn't need to play them in the regular season. SEC programs play FCS teams out of the generosity of their Christian hearts to give paychecks to those less fortunate. Lets do that in the spring instead

I don't know if playing Grambling State in April is going to help you in September. Play Grambling State week 1, Troy State week 2, Florida State week 3. Then play your conference games.

 

[El_Chino]

Florida is ranked accordingly in my opinion.

Michigan is too high in my opinion, they pretty much lost their entire defense

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

J-Cope baby. 2018 class doing work.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Oregon unranked in a pre-season poll for the first time in 10 years.

 

[DMVfan123]

Guess I'm repping VT football since I hope to go there after community college and I have a friend that plays there

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Are we ever going to stop tiptoeing around the real issue at hand, that foosball is the devil?

This class is going to be something special.

Agreed. Michigan should be in the top 15, but not top ten.

I think we're definitely full on Florida fans as well. You're going to have to represent USF.

Including myself I feel like we have 5 at most.

Two too many. Y'all have to vote the extraneous ones out survivor style prior to the start of the season.

I think it's more of a Battle Royale competition. Last man standing can represent the Gatas.

We need someone to replace our Oklahoma State and Mississippi State fans.

1) King Gondo lives on, in all of us
2) I think we're allowed to reassign chicko's rooting interests at will and as needed.
