We're still behind University of Stanky Cretins in the computer poll?  How does that happen?

"(Reminder: Preseason projections still carry ~90% weight.)http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa"

It started out projected #9, and as the tweet says, preseason projections are still very important. Preseason projections liked (as usual) SC's formidable recruiting classes and returning talent. They didn't know Clay Helton is coaching them.

I should go look, but ...
Do you know how S&P+ does their preseason projections?

Some preseason projections use weighted averages of previous seasons. Those would know that Helton and a parade of other question marks have coached $C. (can I use SC)

Others add in some kind of measure of returning experience (I think Connelly has written about this).
Others add in something from recruiting rankings.
