Warriors USA Today Preseason #24

Had to post this Tombo. Last time I'll beat you to it though. I'm leaving the East Coast tomorrow, so I won't have that 3 hour edge on you. It'll be reversed when I get back to Hawaii.

Wow. Great to get the recognition. We need to not let it get to our heads as fans and as players. Need to see it as a challenge to keep that ranking and possibly raise it. But gotta focus on week by week, game by game, and go from there.

Here's the poll, and a breakdown of each team. I don't know how to make it nice looking like Tombo, so he'll probably embed the poll in his post somehow.

And here's Hawaii's breakdown:

24. Hawaii (11-3)

Points: 214. Previous ranking: 24. Outlook: Can a quarterback from the Western Athletic Conference win the Heisman? Statistical marvel Colt Brennan will give it a shot, passing to veteran receivers, as the Warriors try to end Boise State's league reign. The Broncos visit in late November when first place could be on line. Opens: Sept. 1 vs. Northern Colorado.
