This is FPI and not ESPN actual preseason rankings, so it is really a snapshot in time to predict the next game played and is not a prediction of any form.

You can say that again.

Fair enough. Based on the ESPN methodology, I would agree with ESPN that Texas -should- be a top 5 team going into its next game, however, as we all know, Texas has consistently found ways to not meet its potential - so it wouldn't be surprising if by the end of the season, its FPI is closer 25 than 5.

Always.

I can argue with several of these choices, especially Texas & the Aggies. I am a bit surprised to see Baylor on this list. In the end, it doesn't matter: these way too early rankings are little more than click bait.

It's FPI one of the more unreliable metrics?

This is a fair take. Most baylor fans chuckle at what the b o r foisted on the football program.

That said, is it harder being a fan of any other team than tech? Like a century of total futility and fappin to 7-8 win seasons at peak tech. I just laugh at my tech buddies and tell 'em some day, some day. Maybe.

Maybe it's harder being an iowa state fan compared to tech , but it's close

They do save money on their hall of triphies though as
There's little to nothing to display

IF we can beat Utah that will be a huge start to the season.

UT is a top ten team probably. OU has a soft schedule so they are ranked about right. After that I'd put Kstate, Baylor, TCU in the 14 to 25 range and TT right outside the top 25. Just a semi educated guess.

I really hope Kansas beats both traitors this season. I know it's unlikely but it would be a wonderful sendoff for them!
