At this early stage a few up and downs will loom large.  If football gets to 10 wins the point total will be OK.  Unlikely that the fall total will be at the 2015-2016 pace.  That's OK.

Lots of reasons to hope that the winter will be even better than last year, and there was a bit of a buffer over other programs.

There are other schools that are often in the chase.  So helpful to remember that UCLA is not going to get football points.  Texas will not get a lot of football points.  Then there are some schools that won NCs that are not going to finish in the top 5.  So their wins help too.  Delaware winning the FH NC is very helpful.  Northern Arizona winning Mens' CC is also going to help.
