Huskies not ranked in SI top 25

I subscribe to it & could probably figure out how to log in and link it in two minutes, but I don't care.

Interesting selections that did make the cut:

ASU (19)
OSU Beaver (23)
Marshall.. yes MARSHALL (25)

There were "only" two $EC teams in the top ten, but five in the top 14 and eight in the top 22.

Rankings in August are special.

SI likes to be "edgy" and make unconventional picks which are always wrong. This is good news foe UW

The same SI that ranked a preseason 6-6 Oregon State team #1 in the country in 2001?

That's the one

The only way Marshall makes sense is if that's what they're predicting at the end of the year. Take a look at Marshall's Pat Hill TUFF schedule this season:

They're gonna go undefeated this year and end up in the Peach Bowl or something.

So you're saying Marshall at 25 gets your parachute panties in a bunch?

Time to step away from the splooge covered keyboard for a crash course in perspective.

Awfully warm for December, and when that poll comes out, it's #'s 1-4 or GTFO.

Just pull 25 team names out of a hat and those rankings are just as good as any other pre season rankings.

Bigger problem- you subscribe to Sports Illustrated.

All I'm saying is that if Marshall goes 13-0 with that schedule, they deserve to be ranked 25th at the end of the year.

It's a gift subscription. The only subscriptions I've ever paid for were Spin and some heavy metal mag in the early 2000s. Thought it was cool at the time, borderline embarrassing now.

True, they have that pattern. They also probably saw "new qb and rb replacement for Sankey" and didn't dig a little deeper.

PurpleJ

Why do we care how many SEC teams are ranked in the mythical preseason polls at SI?

When you downgrade your coaching staff so significantly, this is what happens.

Hope you know that by now.

Cal is still too high.

That is a seriously fucktarded list though, not sure how to justify either ASU or OSU sniffing the top 25 this year. Besides all that has been mentioned of what ASU lost, they aren't sneaking up on anyone. They'll be treated like a team that is defending a division crown, and they don't have the players to handle that on a week to week basis. OSU...lol...I think they need to make a decision as to whether to make a play for a young up-and-comer or risk a slow death of mediocity under Riley.




Who the fuck is Marshall?
