Preseason rankings would be cool if we could all agree on the criteria
Start with the previous season’s final rank/total performance and alter it slightly using staff/player changes and predicted floor/ceiling for each team
•No less than one G6 should be included since one will make the playoffs.
•No more than 8 from one conference since that’s the end of season record for same conference ranked teams, all time
•Staff/Roster overhauls should weighted accordingly i.e.
Iowa St > Penn St
North Texas > Oklahoma St
USF > Auburn
Under that criteria, here’s mine
* This does NOT reflect my final CFP Top 25 predictions *
@haver_of_balls@jdpickell Unless Russell or Mack are great from the start and a lot is fixed/improved.. Bama will drop the ball to South Carolina, Kentucky, FSU or Miss St
Take those games lightly all you want

@BFWshow@rebsbarstool@BFW@Blutman27 Not to mention Oklahoma in 2024
What looks like statistical efficiency doesn’t paint the picture of Arnold. He can’t complete passes down field at all, allowing for easier defensive schemes
@BFWshow@rebsbarstool@BFW@Blutman27 Jackson Arnold is in large part the reason why Auburn didn’t win 10+ and still have Hugh Freeze. That’s before you factor in a bad call & a no call that cost them 2 games.
