Not here to bash or praise, but it is early. The pre-season picks by "experts' are mostly guesses and homer sports writers rooting for the local conference.
Fact #1 the top 12 ranked teams this week have played a total of 59 games. Only 2 of those games were against team that were still ranked in the top 25 as of last week. That would have been WV vs #25 Baylor and K-State a OU. The majority of games have been against the likes of Missouri St, Towson, Florida Atantic, James Madison, etc....schools getting pay days. Of course some hyped "top teams" were played...but now we know they were not very good.
Fact #2 Seven teams in pre-season top 25 are not even ranked now - Arkansas, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma St, Boise, Michigan, and Michigan State. That is nearly one third of the "expert" picks from only 6 weeks ago. Plus #1 USC and #4 OU are not in the top10.
Yippe Ki Ya yeah root for your team, but they probably have not really played anyone yet.
