I expect UCF and Iowa State to be in the mix to be ranked as well, with potentially some others too.

Iowa State lost a ton so i'm not surprised they aren't being mentioned in pre-season lists, but they have also been recruiting comparatively well vs. what they have done historically. We will see how much of the real deal Campbell is on if he can keep the momentum with a bunch of his bell cows now gone.

My gut is he will keep the ship going.

Yeah, the only real bottom feeder team in the B12 right now seems to be Kansas, and they seem to be turning it around with their new coach. The win over Texas can’t hurt either.

Not bad. New XII finished this season with 5 in the Top 25 (3 were top 7).

OK, I'm a homer, but UC at 19 is way too low. Especially as some key players are announcing their return (our DL is looking exceptional) and transfers are coming in (we just got a 6'6" WR coming in from Hawai'i...).

The big question right now is QB and even there we just got word of Ben Bryant returning to the program after getting a year's starting experience playing for Charlie Batch up at Eastern Michigan... Heckuva insurance policy.

UC is officially in the "reload" mode, not the "rebuild."

Looks like we are solid going forward. As an UCF fan I am looking forward to the ride.
