Guy from CFN was just interviewed on 680. He said that their rankings do not show how teams will finish at the end of the year, but rank teams by personnel. They look at each position (OL, WR, DL, LB, etc.) independently and then come up with ranking. Combining these they get their overall ranking.
When asked about GT specifically, he said that WR rankings hurt them badly as it did with Navy. He then went on to say that the way we use WR and the running game will overcome that and we will be in the ACC title hunt.
Guess that explains the 8-4 predicted record followed by #40 ranking.
IMO this does not help UGAg or Richt in particular. Bascially, they are saying UGAg should be #3 in the country based on talent, but coaching can/will? continue to keep that from happening.
