I think preseason polls are retarded. What's the point of ranking teams before they've even played a game? What's dumb is that they actually matter.

Anyway, I think Georgia is overrated at #1. I think they'll lose at least two games. Not sure about West Virginia being so high either.

I'm really looking forward to the Ohio State/USC game in week 3.

I'll have to disagree on Georgia being overrated at no.1. Georgia has the toughest schedule in the toughest conference. They are returning alot of starters from last years team that had a argument for the championship. I feel they hit it right for a preseason poll for them at no.1.

Clemson at 9 is a bit high, they are expected to have a really good team, living in NC I hear alot on ACC sports and there is alot of buzz around this Clemson team, they have the talent to move up in the polls but they do play against a very weak ACC, somehow Bowden and the boys will find a way to choke this one away they usually do.

I see Kansas at 13, Texas Tech at 14, Illinois at 19, Wake Forest at 23, and Fresno St at 25 as teams that will not be in top 25 at the end of the season. I am on the bubble with Michigan at 24 if they will climb up or drop off, hard ot say with new staff and new offense and defense to learn, but within 2-3 seasons watch the hell out for some very exciting Michigan teams when Rodriguez gets his style players for the spread offense in there. Side note, not to get off track but Michigan has a recruit that I am pretty sure is a freshamn this year RB kid out of Texas that is awesome go on youtube and search for some of his game film his name is Sam McGuffie, here is one clip of him there are alot more.

YouTube - Sam McGuffie Jumps Again and Again and Again


I think this should end up being a great college football season, I can't wait until it starts I have the football itch kicking in hard right now.

Better to die quick fighting on your feet, Then to live forever begging on your knees.

Having a tough schedule doesn't make you the best team. You have to prove yourself against the tough schedule. And also, they had no argument for the championship last year. They didn't even win the SEC East.

Clemson seems to have had high expectations the past few seasons, but they always choke.

I agree with Kansas dropping off. I don't think they'll repeat last year's performance. But I think Texas Tech and Illinois will have good years. Illinois should finish in the top 2 or 3 in the Big Ten. They have a lot of talented athletes.
