Looking at the way early 2014 rankings it appears we will be just outside the top 25 around 30-35 range and OM will be around 20 preseason. Saw this on Athalon & ESPN.

I just wrote about this in another post. It's way to early to say this is where we will be ranked next season. The media is just throwing this stuff out off the top of their head right now. The people who do research like Phil Steele and Vegas insiders aren't going to weigh in till the summer. Once they weigh in, the preseason polls start to take a more legitimate shape.

The poll on ESPN is Mark Schlabach's poll, not ESPN's.

OM may open up next season ranked ahead of us, due to recruiting hype, but we all know and even they know, we should be ranked ahead of them.

The media has 7 months to shake this out.
