CBS's sportsline.com has the Tigers ranked 5th in their Pre-Spring rankings. Southern Cal #1 and Iowa #2. http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/8245608
20 returning starters? Spears, Webster, Daniels, Wilkerson, Randall, Turner all gone. How do you lose 6 starters and still have 20 left?
Not a real fan of preseason polls. Wow they actually have the Hawks ranked # 2..........Can't see it.............
I like the Hawkeyes, but their Big Ten schedule is as hard as it gets. They get Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue and Minnesota in 2005, easily among the top 6 in the conference the past few seasons. That's akin to LSU playing Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn and, say, Arkansas (bowl eligible in 5 of last 6 years, I think)...all in the same season. That's tough, though that non-conf schedule (N Iowa, Iowa St, Ball St.) is a soft as a pillow.
Well.. the starters varied throughout the year.. and its not cool to advertise in here man.. take that macmini crap off...
Tennessee #3! I listened to "Vol Calls" Monday night out of Knoxville (the best non-political crackpots on earth, or as Vandy fans say rednecks turn orange in the fall) for kicks. They're talking about running Gerald Riggs, Jr. 30 times a game! Behind that offensive line? Or is it so much for the passing game? Shaffer going to become a cornerback?
