I should be thrilled to be #1, but it feels empty not having played a game yet. It also feels like a “build them up just to beat them down” type of situation. Our week one game vs tOSU is a win-win for the media, but I suspect they’d love to write about the reigning champs maintaining dominance at home versus the top contender for their crown. 

This is peak BLS. It's rare to find such a perfect example. 

I am sympathetic though. Hard to live through 2010-2021 and not feel that way. That being said, Imma need you to take a sip:

Get a grip, people hate sissies. No-one's ever going to shag you if you cry all the time.

I’m fine. Couldn’t be more excited for the season. I just want to earn the ranking and don’t like preseason polls in general.

lol Sure, pass me a glass and make it a double. I guess I underestimated how seriously we take Off-season Championships around here.

Just a lot of excitement around Archmania, another elite defense and the polls acknowledging that with a consensus #1 preseason ranking. First ever

Closest 1-2 point margin in the preseason since 1998. Similar to Coaches poll, big point gap from 9th to 10th.

WTF does this even mean?  You don't think two consecutive final 4 appearances along with elite recruiting/transfer results "earn" anything?  It's fine to dislike preseason polls, but Texas has "earned" this ranking as much as any program has.

I really hate our fans at times.

Some people just have to have a reason to complain and they're willing to pull one out of thin air if none exist.

It's a beating.

I swear, nothing gets fans to show off their periods like preseason camp reports + preseason rankings.  August is the heaviest flow month.

The guy who shows up to tell us he doesn't like preseason polls is claiming that we're taking things too seriously around here? Okay then. 

I've never understood the complaint about preseason polls. We all know they're not deterministic and haven't been for a long time but especially now. They're a sign that the season is around the corner. They're usually the highest ranking ATM gets all season. They often lead to interesting bulletin board discussions. 

What's not to like? Do you bitch about too much pussy, money, or texmex? Why would you treat CFB any differently?

Someone explain to me how USC football is still screwed up. They have several billionaire alumni who could help their NIL program, they have a coach who at one time was producing Heisman QB’s, Southern California is not a bad place to live, and the school itself is high quality. What the heck are they doing?

Number of weeks in the AP poll, number of weeks at #1 in the AP poll is a thing that gets tracked for dominance. Ergo being #1 at any time is never a bad thing.
