ESPN updated way too early top 25
Utah is #4
The hype train is out of control.
I legitimately believe we could be #4 by seasons end if we can take care of business along the way and work through some inexperience. Gotta earn it.
I don’t believe we’ve earned #4 yet. But man I love the publicity. Let’s get some recruits!!
As fans, it’s the ideal scenario…..I don’t worry about the players w/our coaching staff directing them.
I say absolutely bring on the hype, the more the better!
Starting at 4 is great. All you have to do is win. Way better than starting at 35
#4????? I don’t see it. It’s hard to take ESPN seriously when the list of notable incoming players is basically incomplete and wrong.
As has been said by others in threads on this topic, we should embrace the hype. Recruiting is a huge part of college football success, and they way to improve recruiting is to have hype in rankings. This hype can pay dividends going forward. Perception is often not reality, but in recruiting, perception becomes reality.
Plus, it is a lot of fun to be hyped in pre-season rankings. I love seeing the Utes talked about in all the big publications, seeing the name splashed all over the screen. This is what we, as fans, dream of and pine for. It is a rare experience for us Ute fans (the only comparable experience I have had was during the Majerus years in basketball when the Utes were often highly ranked). It may not last, and the year may not turn out nearly as well as the hype, but it is fun for now. Doesn’t mean we walk around all high and mighty because of pre-season rankings, but it is okay to be really excited about the press and potential. I hope Utah gets the point where they are ranked top 10 every year just because of the name (no matter how bad the previous year was).
I hope for the best, but expect the worst. Do I expect the Utes to be in the playoffs? Nope. But I sure hope like hell that they are.
GTFO
Boogerboard was melting down over this. I love it.
