Thoughts on their selections?

Pretty sure Bobo and Ross were both more productive receivers, so the inclusion of Shay and the omission of the others is odd to me. Although I think Shay is likely the overall more talented WR.
 
Oliver is there based solely on the TD against UCLA. Don't get me wrong. It was a thing of absolute beauty. If he can do a little more of that, we will be in great shape this year.

I think these ranking things view from the 20,000 ft. level. A lot of it is based on reputation.
 
Perhaps the Pac in general hasn't learned its lesson from 2016. We shall rise again!
