The Preseason Polls Will Be ... ?

[Shogungts]

Interesting article on how CFN thinks the polls will look (not necessarily how they think the teams should be ranked). I know if doesn't matter all that much, but it's the off season and slow. They have Miami at 22 going into the preseason:

22. Miami
The clouds are starting to clear a little bit over the program - thanks to the NCAA's inability to conduct a proper investigation - and now it's time to get excited with Stephen Morris, Duke Johnson and a great offense returning in what should be a breakthrough season under Al Golden. Ten starters are back on defense to go along with all the returning talent

The rest of the rankings: http://cfn.scout.com/2/1279645.html

I dont want to be ranked until we can prove we can go undefeated.

I agree. But polls are a necessary thing (evil) in CFB. There are what they are.

I think mid 20's is about right for us. We'll still be the underdog in our big state match ups...which is OK.

I love the potential of this team and I am 100% on board with Golden. But until our defense improves in games I don't see how anyone can rank us in the top 25.

Don't give a **** if we're ranked or not anymore. This team isn't as mentally weak as the were in the past.

 

[cane305]

we better be ranked by the late teens when the season's over.

I don't want to be ranked until we prove we can win 3 BCS titles in a row.

2.5 years removed from the cancerous Shannon era should see a marked improvement. The D is 2 years away IMHO but should be somewhat improved. Injuries will limit the effectiveness of the Dline this year.

2013 Miami will be highly underrated outside of the "experts" talking about 20 returning starters.

When Miami bludgeons Florida, they will be ranked. Not worried about preseason rankings.

Yeah I don't get those remarks. If we're ranked we're obviously improving on where we've been over the last (****) several years. Let's
get ranked and start the climb that we all know is coming. Win 10 this year and the floodgates will open!

If you're never ranked how can you prove you can stay there is the basis of the retardation.

So you'd rather we not get recognition as an improving football team, that the kids not get credit for all their hard work, and that the country and the recruits and their families aren't put on notice that we're on our way back? You also don't want us to be eligible for an at-large BCS bid?

Got it.

I don't think we will be ranked but if we are ranked we will most likely be in the upper 20's around 22-25. I think we are def. a top team next year and think we will have a very good season but we need to prove it.

pretty sure CanEs4life04 was being sarcastic.

I hope FSU and UF are top ten when we beat that ***.

No he is being serious and I concur with his sound logic, as a matter of fact.

That's actually exactly what I am saying. Not until we can stay there.
