Well, looking on the bright side, at least our projected finish isn't any lower than it was last year

[LegalRam]

I would flip us with UNCFSU and I think it will take a miracle for VUU to repeat considering all the talent they lost. However, I can live with this preseason prediction.

I am really curious as to the criteria for these ratings. To me it's all guess work because so much could change between now and November.

I'm guessing it's either the SIDs or the Coaches. If it's the SIDs, then it's a good chance summer interns are involved. So I'd guess there is no criteria outside of people looking at past seasons results and recent name recognition.
