these things kill me, they base them on how teams look at the moment? So basically who will be gone and who is coming back from the previous year's squad, and my guess would be also their recruiting rankings, which I also don't follow. Too early for me to even worry about pre-season football rankings, we are still kicking a$$ in basketball right now. :D

I am taking them for what they are worth, nothing. Nothing really to lighten up about, not in a tizzy or anything and I don't take them seriously, hence the statement, these things kill me, just adding my 2 cents, I mean I guess it is something for fans of NCAA football only to talk about around the water cooler in the offseason.
