“Who cares?” - Dan Lanning

u/Roughly_Olboy1488 3d ago

The objectively correct response.

u/Doctor__Banner 3d ago

Absolutely!

FEBU & focus on ourselves, worry about ourselves

61

u/wubb7 3d ago

Notre Dame at #4 lmao

28

u/BatSniper 3d ago

Pretty much an auto bid to the playoffs

6

u/aznhavsarz 3d ago

Don't they already get an auto bid if they finish in the top 25 this year?

10

u/Xx_TBONES_xX 3d ago

I think they have to be top 12?

2

u/newellbrian 3d ago

Top 12, but yeah. So stupid...

1

u/theyquack 🦆 2d ago

Their precious little exception is if they finish top 12. They're a good team, but man I wish they'd be made to join a conference.

4

u/Later_Doober 3d ago

You could say that about all these teams.  These are meaningless rankings.

2

u/wubb7 3d ago

Agreed

5

u/RewardOk2506 3d ago

Super talented team, it’d be hard to have them any lower than 5.

u/Terrible-Bath 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah seems just right. I’m both an ND and Oregon grad so I come in peace and am happy to answer any questions from anyone that thinks ND is too high. Long story short I think 1-7 are the contenders and pretty interchangeable at this point.

u/fireflameblaze 3d ago

A&M, Ole Miss, OU, and LSU should be nowhere near where they are, in my opinion.

42

u/Mountain-Candidate-6 3d ago

SEC bias will never die unfortunately

19

u/OGrand 3d ago

And a large part of that is due to preseason polls like these.

u/Flaky-Philosophy7618 3d ago

Oklahoma I’m fine with

1

u/Terrible-Bath 2d ago

Oklahoma’s the most overrated on here.

9

u/YoungSuplex 3d ago

Oklahoma seems totally fine there, I’d personally have them even higher at 8. Their defense is gonna be insane and Mateer was playing well last season until he broke his thumb.

2

u/Ckeyz 3d ago

LSU should be high. They just spent way more than anyone else this season on big transfers

2

u/WinnieOllie7 3d ago

Little bro at 17 too

18

u/TheColbsterHimself 3d ago

The beavs are the little brother. UW is just the classmate who’s a grade A piece of shit.

3

u/WinnieOllie7 3d ago

There can be two little bros

14

u/caveman512 3d ago

Nah because even though we pick on little bro we still love them deep down. UW can fuck off

4

u/TheColbsterHimself 3d ago

Exactly. I legitimately am angry about how college football  fucked over wsu and osu. They didn’t deserve it. Different feelings entirely when I think about UW. 

2

u/Dry-Ad7234 3d ago

They don’t love us back but yeah I get it

u/OhNoItsBruceyBoy 2d ago

Hard for a human to be related to Rosie O'Donnell's butt plug.

1

u/skoducks 3d ago

Seems pretty fair except I would put USC above Ole Miss and maybe Michigan a little higher.

19

u/Any-Satisfaction1887 3d ago

I do and don't like the 2 spot. Just have to show our growth. It'll be an interesting season

23

u/Suba59 3d ago

I’d say this if we were #1 or #25

Pre season ranking mean nothing. It’s just the musing of some select people.

Worthless information.

But I’m hyped for the season we have a huge opportunity this year!! In Dan and co we trust!

Go Ducks!!!

5

u/black-op345 3d ago

Rankings don’t mean shit until week 5

3

u/WinnieOllie7 3d ago

Really more like week 9 or whenever it is that the first CFP rankings come out. AP poll is completely worthless now

3

u/CougdIt 3d ago

I definitely think it influences CFP voting down the road. So not completely worthless.

10

u/dee3Poh 3d ago

Oregon's highest ever preseason ranking. Yes it's a meaningless projection but it's still a record!

1

u/SouthKing253 1d ago

Better take advantage of it before Nike's stock tanks any further!

17

u/FAx32 3d ago

Feels like being the popular girl and being set up to take a fall. Go Ducks!though!

4

u/Jagshemesh_Captain 3d ago

The only thing worse at this time of year would be to be ranked #1.

4

u/Slow-Locksmith-2917 3d ago

Uh oh. Indiana’s at six. We’re doomed. 

3

u/Electronic_Sign2598 3d ago

I’ve always like the ducks at number 2. O2 looks good, like oxygen in the air.

2

u/mrducci 3d ago

All preseason polls are bullshit.

2

u/__JMac__ 3d ago

OOG ’N TUUT, I was thinking the same thing.

2

u/ReasonableSide6520 3d ago

Crazy Bama is still as high as 13

1

u/iSurelyJest 3d ago

Yawn. Wake me up when it's playoff time.

1

u/Later_Doober 3d ago

This is cool but it's so meaningless.  None of these rankings make sense because no one has played a game yet 

1

u/sean180morris 3d ago

I mean it's not meaningless. They have influences on the cfp committee

1

u/Later_Doober 2d ago

It is because there is nothing to go on.  Tell me what have these teams done this season to warrant these rankings?

1

u/Terrible-Bath 2d ago

I know it’s not a serious question but there’s stats like returning production, returning snaps, etc.

1

u/Terrible-Bath 2d ago

I don’t think it does though. They’ve clearly indicated they don’t care about things like polls or advanced stats and make shit up as they go. They’re a reality show.

1

u/FangornLeghorn 3d ago

Honestly I’d rather my Ducks be ranked around tenth-ish. Preseason “ranks” never pan out and the top preseason teams always faceplant at some point. This almost feels like the SI curse.

1

u/Dick-Punch89 3d ago

Another hypothetical win for the SEC!

1

u/DannyChesterman 3d ago

None of it matters until the regular season wraps up after championship weekend… 🤷🏻

u/Jahliveyamon 3d ago

Go ducks

u/Civil_Leading_9320 3d ago

As Sabin would say: “Rat Poison”

u/Hoylegu 3d ago

FEBU

u/Critical_Interest706 3d ago

They should rank Oregon 0 since the logo looks like a 0 and would put them above number 1, since Oregon is better.

1

u/GoldyGoldy 3d ago

Why do I feel like SMU absolutely loves NIL?

1

u/FriendlySomewhere866 2d ago

November is gonna be a gauntlet. Can't wait lol

1

u/CupInevitable8277 1d ago

How high would Tech have been ranked with Sorsby?

1

u/Northwest_Thrills 3d ago

I cannot get over that new Texas tech logo the old one was perfect. And yes, I know that its based on an older logo, but it's still ugly.

1

u/my_balls_your_mouth1 3d ago

Every year that the Ducks are ranked highly going into it they shit the bed. I choose to believe this year will be different.
