What does liking a way a program is run or a University have to do with rankings? Miami was #1 a lot during Johnson and Erickson, and a lot of people didn't like those programs, or how those programs were run,or those fan bases for that matter.

3. Auburn: Still looking for a fullback, which is more than a small problem in the SEC. The line must be shored up in the fall with loss of Marcus McNeill and Troy Reddick.
Pre-spring: No. 4. One of about four SEC teams that could end up in the BCS title game.

I seem to remember them wanting Aram Olson quite a bit (not that he'd start/play as a Freshman but you never know)

Can someone please post a link?

Exactly. 9-3, 9-4 will generally get you about a #21 ranking. Good to see somebody else isn't drinking the ND kool-aid as well.

Good to see scUM fans remain as dillusional as ever...they're [censored]ed about being #21 because you know, chronically underachieving teams coming off of a 7-5 season deserve a much higher ranking because they got rid of both their coordinators.

Isn't bestowing the curse upon us proof enough?

I'm sick of everyone jumping on the WVU bandwagon. Dodd was probably one of those geniuses that had Iowa at #2 preseason last year. We all know how that turned out.

Bingo. Dodd pegged Iowa at #2 behind USC last year, after Iowa cancelled its spring game due to injuries.

Well, everyone is getting on the Ohio State bandwagon. The arrival of a certain young man in our backfield and the Texas unsettlement at the quarterback position seems to be tipping things in our favor.

There is an argument that one doesn't want to be #1 to start the year because of the pressure. But I am of the opinion that the pressure is always there anyway when you are Ohio State and Tressel-coached teams are playing to win the national championship every year anyway. So, the counter-argument of trying to get past a West Virginia (who plays such an easy schedule) or a Notre Dame (who could "almost win" -- or should I rather say "lose well" -- three games and still be #1.

Now the team has to prove it deserves the attention. I think we can count on Coach Tressel to keep their heads in the right space to do that.
