FWIW the computer rankings are generally in agreement. FPI has us at 51st in the country with an expected 5.6-6.4 record (outright favored in 6 games), and SP+ has us at 54th and going 5.1-6.9 (favored in 5). Funny thing is that both rankings are around 20 spots higher than the preseason rankings last year, but the records are almost the same… The schedule is just so rough it keeps the record down.

Bill Connelly's preview spoke highly of our transfers and noted that most of our roster will be back next year. He ended on a high note: "Still, I'm far more optimistic about Wilcox's future than I was when last season ended. If the new pieces stick, and new offensive coordinator Jake Spavital can click with one of two sophomore transfers at quarterback -- Ben Finley (NC State) or Sam Jackson V (TCU) -- then we might witness the start of a mid-tenure turnaround this fall."
