I admittedly don't keep up with college sports like I used to but this totally slipped up on me . The end of times must be near. **
So OM is ranked in the preseason top 25 in basketball
- Thread starter thatsbaseball
- Start date
Yes, but Chris Beard usually ends up choking.
Me after watching them play football ranked in the top 10…
They have the best PR machine in the country.
Very nice. Would also accept "Beard typically chokes, Beard is a known choker, or just "Ole Miss sucks."
They are always ranked in the preseason sometimes even the pre-conference in every sport
This is due to the genius of Keith Carter. He knew their $15 million football team would choke around this time, so he made sure to have a basketball distraction waiting
Arkansas was preseason #9 last year and ended up with an overall losing record.
I wouldn't get too worked up over preseason polls. I think some of it is to help tv promote preconference tournaments in November and December. It plays better to say you have two "ranked" teams playing than just a couple of random P4 teams.
Also, I'm not sure how you rank any of these teams outside of the blue bloods with all of the portal changes each year. They're basing it on last year's results which doesn't necessarily transfer to a new team.

Seems like last season the same thing happened, um got most of the preseason love and MSU ended up better again.
