Tennessee coming in at #29, not too shabby all things considered. Also (unless I missed something) there are only 4 of our opponents ranked higher.

Bar tender asks, why the long face?

WOW!! Auburn 24th, and OLE MISS 43rd??:crazy:

 

[kevol80]

Yea, but aren't all preseason polls :crazy: really?

Sagarin always comes up with a bunch of crazy bs. I think he just likes to stir the pot.

WOW!! Auburn 24th, and OLE MISS 43rd??:crazy:

+1, and THE OSU #5 (yawn).

I like this flying under the radar deal. Maybe we can surprise some teams this year! :rock:

look at florida's week one opponent their 201

Man urban's got them some hard teams

 

[bornbleddinorange]

Us and auburn put together arent better than ole miss

 

[BigOrangeBob]

So, if I read the instructions correct, Florida is a 17 point favorite against Tennessee. And it would put us at a 22 point favorite against WKU. (I wish Vegas would go with those odds).:whistling:

He must not think much of the Big 10

Ohio St. #5
Penn State 8
Wisconsin 33
Michigan 35
Michigan St. 44
Purdue 57
Northwestern 61
Illinois 63
Minnesota 69
Indiana 95

And then there is mighty Notre Dame #48lol:

Didn't Lou Holtz pick Notre Dame to play for the National Championship next January.:crazy::crazy:

Sagarin ranked Tennessee #29 and we were 6th of the SEC schools. Sagarin expects us to be better than 8 of the teams in the awesomely powerful Big 10 and Dr. Lou's pick for the NC game.

Yea and troy the next week. He must think alot of those teams to schedule them year in and year out.

Alot of times I look at Sagarin's rankings and scratch my head. Although, for basketball they are generally pretty good. TBH, I didn't notice Ole Miss being so low, I think that is a crazy pick. As for Holtz and his pick of Notre Dame... I thought he did a pretty good job of explaining it. He said that he doesn't think they are the best, just that they have a fairly easy schedule.
