Yeah but who doesn't have ?'s this year that should be ahead of us? I'd say maybe just Texas, and they obviously have quite a large question mark. I think the thought process is that our offense should cover for our defense (which should be plenty good, obviously not last year good) until they can get up to speed (hopefully right around halfway through the first quarter again NIU).

Agreed. A team like this one would typically be ranked 6th or lower, but this season is too wide-open to predict.

Lots of ???? on Def., I agree. But look at the rest of the top 5 and the ???? that they carry as well:
Texas > New QB
USC > All their losses to NFL / a few off-the-field distractions
ND > No / slow Def. last year (at least in comparing to be able to stop our Off.), will they be that much better this year (can they stop our Off. even if they are)
Oklahoma > No QB
Who would you put ahead of us with their ????

Not sure I like starting out at #1, but having #1 vs. #2 in the Texas game is awesome.

I remember reading somewhere that Spurrier always votes Duke at #25 in the preseason poll since he started out there. That should show you how much the preseason poll means.

I bet most votes were already in before this happened. I wouldn't be surprised to see them drop after week 1 regardless of how they play. |

Yeah, but didn't he atleast win a conference title when he was there? Going 1-10 the previous season and giving youself a vote is pretty bad.
Edit-Nevermind, I misunderstood what you said.
