in next season’s preseason rankings. For anyone wondering, it absolutely matters that we start ranked as high as possible due to the freaking bias of AP voters and the CFP committee. If this team started ranked that high in the beginning of the 2024 season, they would have probably been in the playoff with 2 losses.

Won’t shock me if we start ranked #24 or just out due to the weight that they put on recruiting rankings and love from the SEC/B1G.
