I actually don’t mind pre-season rankings, BUT…

Agreed. Also bama looks very suspect. Maybe top 20

This is always the biggest problem with preseason rankings

Pre-season rankings are fun for fans, but teams probably shouldn’t be ranked

That’s why the CFP poll (the one that matters) doesn’t come out until Nov 5

They are. But by that point in the season, it’s not that big of an issue IMO

If ND makes the playoffs they will have been more tested than any B12 team, too.

Notre Dame also has a legit win, to be fair.

*legit win based on preseason rankings.

That's a fair point. I expect A&M to be another 8-4 or 9-3-type year.

Also voters should have to abstain from voting for their team affiliation.

There shouldn’t be any rankings until after week 5

Ute fans reading this: ND, Oregon, Alabama get out of our way, we should be #8.
