I (kind of) understand why they did this to us but it's nice somebody said something.

Look, I understand - We lose our do-everything QB and AA TE and our best player has set out half the season the last two years. We're bringing in another truckload of 'left overs' as replacements for our losses, and while we're definitely improved under CSD we still show inconsistency, and the rest of the country was never high on the hire to begin with. Fine.

BUT WHY THE HELL IS MISSISSIPPI STATE TOP 10. And, oh yeah, Another Year Another Top 15 Texas Preview! Yeah, that's original!

And don't tell me TCU is top 25. I understand the superstar recruit RB is going into his second year, but they were 6-4 last year without playing us and lose the single best Safety in the Draft (or maybe country) and could have four other players drafted - not exactly small losses. That, and everyone else around them is getting better, up to and including us, and UT might actually improve this year, so, yeah, not impressive.
