Are Preseason Polls Useless in the Transfer Portal Era? | Adam Rittenberg

from 365 Sports Presents: 365 Sports (Daily)

With David Smoak, Paul catalina & Craig Smoak ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg joins 365 Sports to talk about why preseason rankings may no longer make sense in the modern college football landscape. With roster turnover, the transfer portal, and early-season perception issues, Rittenberg explains why polls might be hurting more than helping. He also shares insight from Big 12 Media Days, Kansas State vs Iowa State in Ireland, and why SEC scheduling still doesn’t serve fans. The crew also dives into playoff format disagreements between the SEC and Big Ten, and how real-time evaluations may be the only fair path forward in a sport full of change.
