These polls are always reactionary based on the previous season or brand name, and they're never right. We're in a perfect spot. All of our best seasons except for 2014 have come with under-the-radar teams.

Yeah, the ESPN preseason poll is basically based on this formula:

((Fanbase size + ESPN investment in school network + number of fan clicks per school on ESPN.com + all-time historical win percentage) *10 if blue blood program))

Sadly, I am not trying to be funny with this. It's quite real.

OU coming off their worst season in 25 years and they get rubber stamped at #2, unbelievable. I mean, believable, but unbelievable.

Preseason S&P+ puts a heavy emphasis on recruiting over multiple recruiting cycles and returning QBs. To that end, it makes sense that Texas and Oklahoma would be high.

Heck, it will be like men's BB - a free for all as to who wins. All these teams will be in the fight.

........again. They better be back. They may not have another chance for a while starting in 2024.

Other than WVU and possibly ISU, I wouldn't be completely shocked to see any team end up in the conference title game. Should be fun.

Clearly espn is promoting Texas & OU with no basis for their ranking except blue blood status.
