I thought it was a good sign that he had us 2 spots higher than pre-spring. He had us sliding past Wisconsin, LSU and Virginia Tech, although Clemson jumped us. Looks like spring showed him that we could plug people in on defense. Now I know that this assumes that he actually saw some of BYU's spring, which may be a reach, but normally they would just not watch us and leave us where we were or drop us behind schools he did watch. Good sign, even if we don't start with that sort of ranking.
I also had a laugh at what he said about Fresno State. Bulldog fans have been talking up this year, but they tend to focus more on the first sentence than the second sentence
If the Bulldogs get past Rutgers, Wisconsin, UCLA and Boise State, they could be playing in the Orange Bowl. What's more likely is that Pat Hill will upset at least one of those teams and win nine games.
Fresno State should be good this year, but they haven't had fewer than 3 losses since 1991, and haven't even won the WAC since 1999. But I will give them props for scheduling, even if it is a bit masochistic.
