TULSA PICKED 4th IN THE WEST
Like last year, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team was picked fourth in the American Athletic Conference's West Division preseason poll, as voted on by the league's media.
Tulsa was picked in fourth-place a year ago, and finished the season with a 6-2 record for second place in the West Division.
Memphis was picked first with 169 points and 22 first-place votes, followed by Houston (137), Navy (128), Tulsa (102), SMU (64) and Tulane (30) in the West Division. The top four teams each received at least one first-place vote.
