For the most part this is standard national preview fare, with a nice Q&A with John L. Smith thrown in. Feel free to read through, and also check out previews of Arkansas' top opponents.
I am guessing the writer put the teams in order as to how they think the Pacific Division will fall into place. I disagree. Thoughts?
Auburn checks in at No. 25. Go 'Dawgs! Auburna delenda est!
Picking up a win and a draw in the most recent round of World Cup Qualifying matches means that Canada has again received a boost to its ranking. The men's national team are now 83rd in the world but have slipped back to 9th in CONCACAF as El Salvador is one spot about them. For Canada the rank will be expected to improve once again next month with two more winnable matches. I am one who is often critical of the FIFA ranking system but it is always nice to see Canada moving the right direction.
Didn't see this yet. InterMat has their preseason rankings up. Hawks that are ranked include: 125-McDonough (1st) 133-Ramos (3rd) 141-Marion (3rd) 149-Carew (18th) 157- St. John (2nd) 174-Lofthouse (6th) 184-Gambrall (3rd) HWT- Rasing (8th) Team- 2nd
Not even an honorable mention vote. What? They still don't believe in HCDM?
Missouri ended up in 41st place...Stanford won (again). Top Big 12 team was Texas A&M at 8th. The rest of the league: OU 10th, UT 12th, OSU 32, NU 33 (last time I post about them in the Big 12), BU 35, TTU 48, KSU 58, ISU 60, CU 66 (same comment as NU), and kU 72.
Both of Georgia's road losses this year have been to teams that currently are ranked. Go 'Dawgs!
