Preseason and Regular Season Polls (2016)

I'm still guessing they roll into Columbus no worse than 10 and 1. Sparty might get them or they might lose a shoot out to IU. But the rest? We're close to being back to the days of the Big Two and the eight dwarfs.

We shall see

I think an inordinate amount of production from the QB position is being assumed given the track record of O'Korn and Speight. I also think that if they aren't getting the type of QB play they received last year then their other weaknesses are going to come shining through. Specifically OL and RB.

If I had to guess, I think there is a 50% chance they come in here with two losses, 25% chance with three losses, 24.9% chance of one loss, 0.1% chance of no losses, and 100% chance that their coach is a whackjob and their fan base are douchnozzles.

How about the other four?

Guys, just forget about the season. My Facebook friends have already claimed a NC for TTUN. The Sports Illustrated cover is their evidence. Oh well, I am sure the Buckeyes would have given us a helluva season to watch but no use now that SI and Facebook say otherwise.

To SI's credit, they did correctly predict three of the four teams to make the initial college football playoff in 2014:



That said, any prediction that Michigan is truly any good is full of shit...

They'll be lucky to get 2 of the 4 this year. And Washington in their top 7?

Those rebound predictions were a little, off.

Florida went 7-5
Louisville did go 9-4 including an appearance as Vicky the eyeless prison bitch in the Belk Bowl (which is success for them I guess).
Farmer tore his MCL and ACL in pre season and never played a down. He is currently a RB on the Seahawk practice squad near as I can tell.

I feel like the media has been trying to convince everyone that UW and Tenn are on the verge of something for years... but they're always mediocre at best.

If any team from the state of Washington should be picked I'd go with Washington State - in Leach I trust.

How about the other four?

There were no "other four." From 1949 - the year Michigan State entered the Big Ten to replace Chicago - to 1993 - the year Penn State began competing - Michigan and Ohio State won or shared the Big Ten football championship 19 times apiece. This domination was especially evident from 1965 to 1990. Hence, the Big Two and the eight dwarfs - not the twelve dwarfs.

[Bill Lucas]

We are positioned perfectly.

Who in the ever loving F at AP gave TTUN a 1st place vote?
