Coaches Poll

D will dictate whether this team is a top 10 team or not. Gotta believe the O will rep.

Anyone else feel that CCS is helping with the exposure and, in part, the preseason ranking? 

I think we can determine that when the AP Poll comes out. The coaches at this point know, more or less, what USF aand QF are capable of and are giving them the benefit of the doubt after losing Rodney and Mack. IF the AP slides USF into the top 15 or something surreal like that, than absolutely Strong is helping the preseason expectations more than we could have thought. I figured somewhere between 19-25 is where they would land and the coaches Poll fit to right into that.

Forget preseason polling, just use the same formula every year to sell magazines and clicks:

1. Always rank these teams regardless of prior record, prostitution for coaches/players, underage drinking, stealing, sexual battery/assault,  academic cheating/fraud, recruiting violations, paying players, etc:  Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Michigan,  Wisconsin, Penn State, Southern Cal, Notre Dame and Oregon. These are the 21 programs you select from EVERY YEAR, it is up to YOU to rank them.

2. For 22 - 24 you select from these teams: West Virginia, Pitt, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss St. , South Carolina, Nebraska, Iowa, Baylor, TCU, UNC, Utah, UCLA, Washington, Oregon St. , Washington St., Minnesota, Iowa, Purdue, Missouri, Louisville and GA Tech. YOU determine who's in and who's out.

3. For your 25th team you are required to select Boise St in 3 of the 5 years you vote. It is up to YOU to pick the YEAR.

4. For the two remaining spots in a 5 year period for the 25th team you select a G5 team.  But for one of those two years you are required to select BYU or NAVY.

5. For the last spot in a 5 year period for the 25th team you select a G5 team. But the team must have > 20 starters returning, average > 35 points the prior year, have a dark horse Heisman candidate, a great coach ready to jump to a P5 program in two years, have a crappy OOC schedule, and suck at Defense. Choice in 2017: USF

Yes and no... if we hired joe blow from idaho, we may not be getting this exposure, but, if CWT had stayed, it would be the same. I don't think CCS has "added" media hype, but, his hire has certainly helped to keep it going.

I'd tend to disagree there...I think CCS has more star power than xCWT.  And I agree it's likely helping us, and QF's Heisman bid too.
