Oregon State coach Mike Riley gave his Twitter followers an assignment Tuesday afternoon.
Ask #Siri who her favorite college football team is? Just do it. #GoBeavs

Curious, those of us who have Siri at For The Win asked her the question.
And sure enough…
The preseason AP Top 25 Poll pops up, but both the AP and USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll have the Beavers ranked No. 25.
Oregon State Sports Information Director Steve Fenk told For The Win that this was a total coincidence.
“Nobody in football knows how it happened,” he said. “We will take it though.”
But further investigation shows that Siri roots for the underdog in all sports.
