Mark Schlabach has us at #23. Of course you take these early polls with a large grain of salt and couple of shots to boot. The bad news about our ranking, we're behind 5 other Pac-12 teams in his poll- Oregon, USC, UCLA, Arizona and ASU. Yes that's right, 6 Pac-12 teams in his top 25. Of course the SEC has 8 teams ranked in his top 25.
My takeaway is that it's helpful for recruiting that we're still in the national conversation for a top program even with us missing out on a major bowl last year.
