TL;DR: Texas, OU, TCU, TTech, K-State, KU, Baylor, OKST, BYU, UCF, Cincy, Houston, ISU, WVU.
Picking Texas to do well anytime they show even basic competence in the year prior is pretty much de rigeur for the media, so whatever; they can prove it or not. I’m slightly surprised at my Frogs being tapped for third and it feels a little like unearned inertia (is this a taste of what being a Texas fan is always like, LOL?). I’m more surprised at the disrespect to K-State at fifth.
That Wildcat team is well coached and returns a lot of kids, especially on the OL. Y’all are terminally talented, but I was unimpressed by Quinn Ewers last year. Still…there is a certain truth to the ”then who else?” question when talking Texas. I think I like Cincy as a program better than most, and ISU does have some unexpected holes in addition to their other challenges. I don’t think Campbell just forgot how to coach there, though.
I might personally go something like this.
