Hey this is OSUBOB's top 25... this is an awesome idea though thanks for including me... should be fun! It is kind of like a dream come true to be a voter haha.
1. Georgia - had to... i don't think they get through without 2 losses but who knows that could land them in the NC game
2. Ohio State - may be a little bit homerish but they are loaded, we will see how legit they are in the third week... prediction Beanie Wells if he stays healthy wins the heisman
3. Oklahoma - again it is hard for me ot put them here because of their recent BCS struggles but they are talented and I dont think the big 12 will be nearly as competitive as last year
4. Florida - We know about their offense, if they can get some decent D look out, may be the best offense we see in a long time
5. USC - Their D will be unreal, lost a ton of people though so will need to develop quickly
6. LSU - They are the defending National Champs and have talent for days... similar situation to USC just a tougher schedule overall IMO
7. Missouri - Chase Daniel and crew should be pretty strong... not good enough to beat Oklahoma
8. Wisconsin - QB may be a problem but they have great rb's and a strong D... little scared for the bucks going into Madison this year
9. West Virginia - Pat White, Noel Devine, play in the big east which will be down this year IMO from last year
10. Clemson - Always seem to drop a game or 2 that they have no business losing, we will see
11. Auburn - Could be a sleeper this year in the mighty SEC
12. Texas - Colt Mccoy is a junior and should have a good year... losing Jamall Charles certainly is a big loss
13. Arizona St - can they be the first one to knock off the mighty Georgia? Should be a good game, if it was in Georgia though I dont think it would be nearly as big of a game
14. Virginia Tech - ACC may be a little stronger than people think... solid D and special teams as usual... whos their qb again?
15. Penn St. - a ton of off field problems but pretty talented
16. BYU - BCS bowl bound IMO
17. Texas Tech - great O no D... Michael Crabtree is sick
18. Tenn - need a qb to step up
19. Kansas - they have a tougher schedule this year but did only lose one game last year to a top 10 team... I thought I said the big 12 wasnt going to be that good and now I have 5 teams in the top 20 so let me clarify... signmificant drop off after oklahoma IMO
20. Fresno St. - Maybe better than BYU but tougher schedule
21. Illinois - I htink this team takes a step back this year from an overacheiving squad last year. Mendenhall is a HUGE loss
22. Pitt - Mccoy is a stud... good recruits... is the year a put up or pack up for Davey?
23. Mich St - I actually love this squad... experience at qb with Hoyer and a rb that everyone will know at the end of the year if they dont already in Javon Ringer... love Mark D as a head coach
24. Cincy - another team with question marks at QB...
25. UCLA - this is my surprise pick. Under new coaching with Neuheisal and Chow i think this team could surprise some Pac- 10 foes. Not really that big of a reach with the 25th ranking though side notes look out for Miami and FSU to threaten again this year... not great but more scary than the past few years IMO
look out for Miami and FSU to be better this year than recent years

College Football top 25 preseasonLooks pretty good, thanks for ranking Wisconsin 8th. I'm starting to look like I'm not giving my team enough credit with every poll I've seen so far ranking Wisconsin higher then where I ranked them. |

College Football top 25 preseasonit took me forever to make the blog because i have never done it before and kept putting all the stuff in the wrong place. ALl the ones I have seen so far I really couldnt argue all the much. I feel like it is real hard to put a few teams where they are at like Clemson and Texas Tech especially. I had Texas Tech at 9 at one point and just couldnt do it. |

College Football top 25 preseasonBob, very good blog. Though I don't really think there should even be a preseason poll. I don't think a college football poll should be done until about the 5th or 6th week of the season. I can't disagree with your poll. I do have a question mark about Ohio State. Being a TOSU fan myself, what do they do with Pryor this year? Will he start? I also love the fact that a preseaon poll doesn't include that team up north! |
