The dumbest one was when they stuck these literal children, from like 6 or so, to teenagers, in a town supposedly by themselves. The teenagers ruled like kings, of course, while smaller children tried to face down bulls. Pretty sure it didn't make the whole season, because

It gave us an all-time great front page article, though tragically it looks like a lot of the picture links are gone. Note to Lowtax: I'll consider taking the commission on the four frontpage hits you get today in gift certificates.

The best reality competition was Tool Academy, in part because it was more obviously fake than many works of fiction.

24? huh. e: that's to say I'm surprised we're even ranked. Lost our starting RBs, QB, DE among others and the WRs are pretty thin/unknown. Gonna be a rough year.

I'm actually fairly interested in watching the Big 12 race this year. OU should be good like usual, OSU is supposed to be really good this year too. K State returns like everyone for another year of Bill Snyder doing Bill Snyder things, and WVU should at least be fun.

FizFashizzle posted:lol uga ranked above georgia tech and app state, two teams they'll lose to this year Insha'Allah GT's got a lot of question marks this year, chief among them being how well we'll replace our historically great QB. Matthew Jordan did a good job against Virginia Tech last year but he also displayed a lot of glaring weaknesses and if he hasn't improved his passing game and option reading, we're sunk this year.

curried lamb of God posted:how in the gently caress is a 5-7 team the highest ranked team from Texas 8-4 seems reasonable for them this year (though it seemed reasonable for them last year too), which would probably land them right about there in the 20-25 range. Probably wouldn't count on any of the rest doing any better. Guess I wouldn't sleep on TCU.

Preseason #6 is the best start since preseason #4 in 1999.

Pakled posted:Insha'Allah Trust that if he doesn't Bud will have a better answer this year And #22 sounds about right. WVU being ranked above us when every advanced stat has them as not very good isn't surprising but it's interesting how split the opinion by community is (ie talking heads vs stats guys).

UGA was ghastly in its bad performances and problematic in even its good ones last season; I wouldn't pre-rank them at all frankly.

I was wondering how the Ed O hire would affect LSU's preseason standings. Ok, I really wasn't, but they're the second best team in the SEC according to these rankings.
