Old Dominion? Really? Am I missing something? Other than that, the top ten or so look like the right teams, tho maybe not in the right order, but it's all speculative, I s'pose.

Griz picked #10 in the poll. Article also references JJ as a returning starter, FWIW.

If you read the release closely, it actually didn't. Or, there was a math error. Look at the bolded names and the first sentence of the second paragraph said other returning starters were Gratton, Nguyen and Moore. In the next sentence Johnson is mentioned, but because he was an all-conference pick.

UM has six starters back on offense, and two of them were all-conference picks a year ago. Senior tight end Greg Hardy (14 starts) was a first team selection in 2011, while junior tackle Danny Kistler (who started 14 games at left guard last season) was named to the second team.

Other starters returning are senior wide receiver Sam Gratton (14 starts), and senior running backs Peter Nguyen (six starts) and Dan Moore (five starts). Gratton and Nguyen were honorable mention All-Big Sky picks last season, as was junior starting quarterback (13 starts) Jordan Johnson. Also back is junior Kjelby Oiland, who had 12 starts at right guard a year ago, and will start at center this season.
