The Final ranking from last season and my guess on the direction teams will probably go
Penn State - Lose votes but retain #1 Stanford - gain votes BYU - drop 5-10 places Wisconsin - drop 2-4 places Texas - steady Florida - up 1-2 places North Carolina - drop 2-3 places Nebraska - up 2-4 places Washington - drop 4-8 places without JMac Florida State - steady Illinois - up 3-5 places Colorado State (don't know) Ohio State - Steady Oregon - drop 1-3 places UCLA - drop 5-8 places Arizona - drop 4-6 without Kingdon Kentucky - up 2-3 places Utah - down 2-3 Long Beach State - up 2-3 places Oregon State - steady Colorado - drop 3-5 without Simpson Arizona State - up 4-8 places Hawai'i - steady Arkansas-Little Rock - they'll drop out but if they beat UK or Mich St. they'll be back in a week later Duke - steady
Purdue will replace UALR in the first poll.

I think Arizona State may take Arizona's spot near the top.. Maybe by the end of the season...They return basically everyone and Arizona will struggle at first IMO

Only 2 days til the preseason poll comes out! Will it be blah or interesting? GO HUSKERS It will be blah. Why, because it means nothing. It's just some opinions based on very little But I'm sure the thread will get to 200 posts in an hour, because everyone feels their team is being disrespected.

I would prefer to see Stanford and Nebraska as the top two until we see how the other teams jell. I would prefer to see Stanford lose every match, but I don't think that's very likely. I wouldn't mind if Nebraska and Penn State lost every match too, speaking of unlikely but pleasant surprises. It would be especially nice if they played each other and somehow both teams lose. How were the brownies? Good, eh?

... Nebraska and Penn State... It would be especially nice if they played each other and somehow both teams lose. Like the 1972 Sugar Bowl? Oklahoma beat PSU 14-0, then Oklahoma had to forfeit the match later. Who forfeits this time, Nebraska or PSU? NE/PSU "dislikers" need not answer ...

Frantti, Courtney, Whitney, Washington and then Lee... that's some firepower. Hopefully their passing is real bad and setting is marginal at best! A lot will unfold this season, will be really fun to see who gets the draw and who ends up in the final four end of year. Not to skip a year, but 2016 Stanford AND Nebraska will be beasts. Same with Wisconsin and Texas. I think these teams will actually be better next year and it will be...cray. Yeah there will be so many more teams that could take it. Nebraska super class will be seniors and they also have Foecke, Stivrins and Holman. Texas will have Ogbogu, Nwanebu, and Agbaji. They will roll through the big 12Wisconsin's freshmen will be broken in and have more experience and Carlini will be a senior. Stanford will be relatively young but will have Inky, Lutz, Hodson, Alade (should she prove to be really good), along with the freshmen class that consists of Fitz, Plummer, Hentz, Keefe... A 6-2 or a 5-1 would be good for this team. Even Florida will have an amazing chance. Holston, Alhassan, King! Half the Texas team could come down with season ending injuries and the program would still roll through the big 12
