SHOCKER: Sun Devils BLOW AWAY Coaches Poll with #11 ranking | National RESPECT? Or UNDER PRESSURE?

The Arizona State Sun Devils football program checks in at No. 11 in the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll — and that’s exactly where the Sun Devils should be. Host Richie Bradshaw breaks down what the ranking means for ASU heading into the 2025 college football season, including why this position reflects growing national respect, how it sets the stage for a potential College Football Playoff run, and what it says about Kenny Dillingham’s rapidly rising program. Is this ranking a perfect spot for ASU, and does it reflect the respect that Dilly has rightfully earned? We think so, but it's also a chance to prove yourselves as not a flash in the pan or "Cinderella" type of program in 2025. This also might mean the Sun Devils are the baseline for the Big 12 Conference, and that their success determines the national perspective and respect the Big 12 receives all year. Plus, Richie shares his thoughts on other key rankings in the Top 25 and what they mean for the Big 12. Are the Sun Devils the team to beat in their new conference?
