Well, the predictions are starting. App is predicted at #30. Not too bad a starting position.
Interesting that the poll is called the CBS 129. Apparently, nobody has told them that Liberty is now FBS so there are 130 teams.

If we start anywhere near there for the AP or coaches, there's a really good chance we roll into Chapel Hill as a top 25 team. If not, hopefully we roll out of there on our way to the top 25.

Wouldn’t mind rolling out of there a top 25 team either...

Top ranked team in NC, #2/3 group of 5 (I count Army in that group), top in the Belt. Good start, hope we finish even stronger.
Interesting that GaSo is ranked at 40.

Yeah, I understand that based on their record last year UNC is low but that seems way too low. I guess they aren't getting credit for the close games last year. I hope they are actually better than #106 so that our win over them is more meaningful.

One thing is for sure, the App/UNC game will be an all out war on the field and in the stands.

App 30
Troy 35
GS 40
That's quite a bit of respect for those three, two with new coaches.
Ark St. 69
ULL 85 (way too low)
ULM 96
CCU 104
USA 115
TSU 117
Ga St 123
After the 90s I think they just got lazy.
UNCCH 106 - yikes, they'll be much better this year
Louisville 119 - double yikes

On a related topic, common opponents in 2019, UNC and South Carolina play in week #1. South Carolina is an early 7 point favorite. South Carolina also has the #2 ranked most difficult schedule with Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Texas A&M, and little ol' APP State.

This looks really flawed to me. I think we rate the spot we have but some others are way off

By my count there are 6 other G5 teams ranked ahead of us: UCF at 11, Fresno State at 17, Utah State at 18, Army at 19. Boise State at 22, and Cincinnati at 29. While I like the fact that a lot of G5 teams made the top 30, I am not really sure that there are 6 better G5 teams. And no way ND is a legit #4.

I don't think there is any question that the list is flawed. Some of the rankings are way off.

All six listed above us have a legit reason to be there. Why is ND not worthy of #4? They were pretty good last year after they changed QB. No need to drop off from last year.
