He actually dropped us 1 spot and om 12 spots from his pre spring ranking. I assume he droppes om because kelly didnt win the job in spring.

He had OM at #10 in his pre-spring Top 25, then inexplicably dropped us 12 points to #22. Sounds like someone forgot to pay that man his money.

I saw that. I'm sorry, but unless Connor, Nkimdiche & Tunsil all had double ACL tears and Treadwell had a re-broke his ankle, I don't see how you can drop a team that much after spring practice. What I read into Kelly not winning the job in the spring is that Freeze wants to take it right up till the start of the season before he finally puts Kelly in as the #1 QB. All preseason rankings are ******** anyway.

What I don't get is that his little accompanying paragraph for y'all makes it sound like he ranked you top 5. Nothing to remotely explain why y'all dropped 12 places. Ours on the other hand sounds like we should be 18-25.

Yeah. I thought that was funny too. I mean, how special can a #21 ranked team be?

I agree. Honestly I'd probably put us closer to his post-spring ranking than his pre-spring ranking due to (1) schedule, and (2) uncertainty at QB position. But if he thought we were #10 pre-spring, I do wonder what made him change his mind.
