ESPN list compared to rivals list. *Note this was presigning and some have moved up or down a few spots.
1. Florida same
2. USC +1 (though they will be number 1)
3. Texas +2
4. South Carolina +2
5. Notre Dame +3
6. Tennessee -4
7. LSU -3
8. Auburn -1
9. Georgia same
10. Illinois +8
11. Georgia Tech +9
12. Michigan -2
13. Virginia Tech +16
14. Texas A&M +25
15. Clemson +6
16. Miami (Fla.) -1
17. Pittsburgh +9
18. Alabama -8
19. Ohio State -3
20. Penn State +4
21. North Carolina -4
22. Nebraska -9
23. Iowa +4
24. Oregon -12
25. Mississipp -3
The two that jump out at you are us and Virginia Tech. Maybe rivls does not like maroon? Then again ESPN does not have OU ranked and Oregon lost a bunch of spots so maybe they don't like schools with an O on their helment.
It is just funny that we are in the top 15 in one poll and 39 in another. How is their that big of difference? The rankings for the most part have been close save a few schools so how is one school so different? I do not agree 100% with the rivals conspiracy but sometimes they make you go hmmmm. Also WTF was up with Holland getting a third star today? I guess he has looked great since the championship game? He deserved a three star a long time ago, so that is just some more rivals BS.
I do not think this class is top 15 worthy nor do I think it is worse than a top 25 class. More than likely it is a 20-25 class. It could have been a lot better if we did not miss as much as we did. The class was a disappointment in some regards, ie oline and db but a suprise in others DE, LB, athletes.
