We might get a little more respect in the polls released closer to the season (why release a ranking before Spring practices?) but I still do not expect us to be preseason Top 25. The Southern-based media seems to at least recognize the amount of talent coming back, but its still real easy to say that they don't know what to expect with a new coaching staff.
I'm not worried....I expect us to break our 2014 record of the fastest rise from unranked to #1. Someone will have to beat Bama for that to happen, but I'm still counting on it.
