I think USA being 3rd has a lot to do with how they finished the season last year.... They beat ULL 38-8 or something like that. Plus wins over wku and a close game with stAte

Preseason popularity contests have no bearing on my life and often very little to do with the actual reality of a season.

This does not surprise me. Even though we are very deep at QB, none of our QBs have D1 stats to consider (Tidwell has some, but still not much). That's likely why Phil Steele ranked us last at QB in the SBC. iconTroy3

Absolutely correct hemi, I don't mean to diminish the talk I just have a gripe about such preseason polls. But maybe that's just me.

I agree, they are ridiculous and anyone with a computer is putting out predictions. I'm just glad to see football season clasping in on us. I think I'll have a beer.
