I can live with being an underdog. Without knowing what we gained in recruits/transfers, it does look like we lost a lot of players to grad. I prefer a pleasant surprise that no one expects.

Our ranking makes since, from an outsiders perspective. Not know how good Connor is, and as stated earlier, not a lot of hype about our transfers. But I really think this is SDSU’s year.

Yup...we're coming off a 5-6 season, lost some big-time playmakers, have some question marks on both sides of the ball....how good is the d-line going to be without Saunders?...will the offense figure out how to run the ball?...QB Sampson, Johnson, or someone else?...and how good?...lots of transfers; never can predict how they'll do.

I can understand the hesitation to put us higher based on the "unknowns" at this point. Personally, I think we'll be fine, but from the outside looking in, it makes sense at this point.

Got some good news this morning. Might be closing on a house in Davenport BEFORE the first home game.

My “Guess”

1) SDSU
2) NDSU
3) Ill state
4) WIU
5) Ind St
6) UNI
7) USD
8) YSU
9) Mo State
10) SIU

Number 4-7 could switch in any order depending on how the season goes. So I went ahead and put us 4th
