I will take it since we play better with a chip on our shoulder but if Dak comes back I just don't see how we could not be a preseason top 25 team.

Interestingly enough...

the bears are at #11 with no proven QB and losing half of their starting secondary. Curious.

These sort of polls focus a lot on how many starters return. I'm not terribly worried.

Some of his picks last year were a joke too. (http://espn.go.com/college-football...tate-leads-2014-way-too-early-top-25-rankings). Florida made it because, why the hell not, they're Florida.

They are the greatest with great recruiting classes and they held TCU to

below its scoring average in the Peach Bowl...come on!

Plus they were scared to upset Machine Gun Kelley with a bad placement. Look for him to be first team all SEC QB even when Dak returns.

Not really considering an argument could be made that they gave the most top end talent in the SEC.

Love it. Hope we start the season outside top 25 yet again. Love being the underdog.

 

[dogfan96]

Really? Tunsil and Treadwell are both coming off bad injuries. You can never predict how that turns out. And they don't have more talent than Bama. Don't be ridiculous.

ESPN list of top underclassmen disagrees.

 

[Sutterkane]

This is superstitiously very good. We've never finished extremely well when we were preseason ranked.

This guy gets it. My new favorite poster.

They also just lost two of their top runningbacks. Prewitt and Golson will be big losses for them in the secondary. Much of their effectiveness bum rushing the QB was due to those two locking down on recievers.

Vegas has us at 25 to 1 to win it all next

Year which is about 4th in the Sec with bears at 33 to 1.

Agree ...

We seem to have better years when we are not 'ranked' to start the season.

Checking AP, we were listed in the 'preseason' poll at #36 ... then #31 ... #33 ... #28 ... finally entering the top 25 at ... #14 after the win @LSU ... #12 during Bye week ... #3 after A&M win ... #1 after Auburn win ... stayed #1 for 5 consecutive weeks ... then fell to #4 after the Bama loss.

That, my fellow sports fans, was a 'fun ride' Yea, we should have finished better, but still, all in all ... a better year than 99% of the country predicted and clearly put Mississippi State in the 'national discussion,'

None of it will matter when we beat LSU again in Week 2. We'll be right back near the Top 10.
