Am I the only one surprised by this? I really shocked we're ranked where we are. And How did Michigan get to this spot. So, how about a vote: BS or Non-BS? http://sportprojections.com/ncaa_college_football.html
You should not be shocked by an opinion poll, which is what this is, regardless of the methods they used to arrive at it. You will find many more opinions that say we will play USC in the NCG, and they are merely opinions as well. On that note, does everyone assume that USC will go undefeated this year? Didn't they lose to to two unranked teams last year - Oregon State(10-4) & UCLA(7-6)? Who is to say they won't lose 1-2 games again this year and we wind up facing someone like Michigan or West Virginia? As good as USC is and as weak as the PAC 1-9 may be, it still offers potential speed bumps.
We lost a starting QB and 3 other first round picks. People are gonna see that and automatically start questioning
They're not the only ones who put Michigan ahead of us either. Here's another: http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=627579 We'll just take care of our business on the field and hopefully things will fall into place for us. :thumb:
