Preseason and Regular Season Polls (2016)

Or maybe it doesn't matter where you start when your QB situation is settled. What to do with Braxton? What to do with Cardale? What to do with JT? All three had earned the right to start and all three made subtle changes in what the offense could and couldn't do. When that situation was reduced to two the differences became even more apparent. If anything last year proved that too much talent has its problems too.

Oh, and who thought there'd be a fall off in what the receiver corps could do?

The injuries to Brown and Smith were devastating. Both were proven blockers at their position and had shown the ability to get open and catch the ball.

Exactly. And add that few of us realized how important Smith was and how the need to cover him opened chances for Thomas and Marshall.

Butch Jones?

My guess is Saban.

 

[Bestbuck36]

I guess if we roll up an Ol' #6 on BGSU and Tulsa to begin the season going into Norman, none of it will matter.

Which idiot voted Tennessee number 1?

Pretty sure it was Pat Fitzgerald.

So I take it the way-too-early optimism about scUM has cooled quite a bit?

A TSUN "friend" of mine was just telling me yesterday that he was glad that the rivalry was competitive again. I laughed and asked him if he watched the game last November.

That's what made the Michigan State ending so glorious. These guys have already decided that their woes against us and MSU are over. Don't even need to play the games because they have Harba.....whoops.

Well the DFBIA is obviously full Waco... but the polls seems to have cooled a little. A little disappointed they aren't still putting scUM above us in polls. Then again I guess these were the coaches polls, which are more results oriented.

I'm still guessing they roll into Columbus no worse than 10 and 1. Sparty might get them or they might lose a shoot out to IU. But the rest? We're close to being back to the days of the Big Two and the eight dwarfs.
