Of the teams that finished last season in the top-15, seven weren’t ranked at all in the preseason Coaches Poll.
That includes five that finished in the top-10 — national runner-up TCU, Tennessee, Penn State, Washington, Tulane and Florida State.
With that being said, here are the five biggest snubs from this year’s preseason Coaches Poll, which was unveiled Monday.
Iowa
A different Big Ten West team, Wisconsin, was ranked No. 21 in the preseason Coaches Poll. You could make a case that Iowa deserved to be ranked there instead if you were simply picking between those two teams, especially after the Hawkeyes added players like ex-Michigan QB Cade McNamara, former Michigan tight end Erick All and ex-Ohio State wide receiver Kaleb Brown to a roster that already included some standouts like early-round NFL cornerback prospect Cooper DeJean.
