Just checked my preseason Top 25 and noticed that only 13 of those teams are in my current top 25. I guess that's college football for you. Big disappointments...Illinois (preseason #15), Arizona State (preseason #17), Auburn (preseason #21), and Fresno State (preseason #25). Big successes...Iowa (preseason NR), Georgia Tech (preseason NR), Cincinnati (preseason NR), Ball State (preseason NR), Mississippi (preseason NR), and Alabama (preseason #43).
