CBS sports poll has them 15.
ESPN's FPI has them 23. Of course they have us 21, so this ranking doesn't hold water IMO.
USA's Coaches poll has them 17.
They have only 5 starters returning on O; however, and that's a big HOWEVER,
4 are OL and the 5th is the QB.
Their RBs and WRs are interchangeable.
Their O will be just as dangerous as last year, if not more so!
On D, they return 8 starters. That's a good news/bad news kind of situation, but
at the very least expect their D to be improved, if not good.
My point is they will be hard to beat and should have been given top 12 consideration IMO.
If they had been in the SEC, then...
