Not sold on Oklahoma yet. Cale Gundy's resignation shouldn't hurt them (maybe in the locker room) because Jeff Lebby will be calling plays and coaching QBs anyways. It will depend on how fast the transfers get up to speed and how fast they can install the new defense.

Texas is Texas. Weak line play on both sides of the ball. Shouldn't take long for BYU to claim that #18 position from the whorns.

Gonna be interesting to see what Kiffin can do without Corral and Lebby.

Not seeing Houston at #25 but I haven't kept up with them for several years either.

No way are Clemson and ND 4 and 5. I don't think A&M is #8. UT, UK, and Ark will be top 15.

BYU should be a top 25 team. I think I heard they return the most production of anyone, and they finished as a top 20 team.

We'll know more after their third game:

USF
Baylor
@ Oregon

I think they probably beat Baylor in a close one and later in the year they'll probably beat Notre Dame in a neutral site game at Las Vegas. They travel to Fayetteville after the Notre Dame game.

That’s a strong schedule for the Mormons . Really pissed we aren’t going out there next year.

Being Independent they had to schedule a few stinkers (@Utah State, @Liberty, East Carolina, Utah Tech) while the P5's play conference schedules but they finish their regular season @Stanford.

Utah State and ECU are still decent G5 schools. Or they have a history of being decent.

I forgot to add @Liberty also

Edit: Shameless Baylor plug. Game one they play last year's Baylor QB Gerry Bohannan, game two current Baylor QB Blake Shapen and former Baylor QB Charlie Brewer is@Liberty.

Charlie Brewer? I feel like he’s been around forever.

Personally I wish he would just hang it up and go into coaching. It was easy to see from the games he started at Utah last season his decision making skills have definitely slipped. I'm sure Aranada and Coach Bell could find something on staff for him or maybe even McGuire at Tech.

They return 18 starters from last year. They lost their starting QB to the NFL but the backup was #1 coming out of last spring but still threw for 2,500 yards and 20 tds. Entire starting OL is back plus they picked up a 5* OL transfer from Oregon. They probably had a Top 15 OL coming back before they picked up the transfer. WR corps is Top 20ish so look for them to throw deep this season.

Kentucky and Arkansas are going to be really strong this year I think. We are going to have to earn our way back into the top 25 remember we lost to a mediocre Big Ten team that was missing it’s best players at the end of last year.

This is really going to have a huge impact on Wake’s season. Hope for a speedy recovery for whatever the issue is
