Funny the benefit of the doubt given to schools like Texas, USC, Georgia and Notre Dame in these polls.

As long as they stay at 7-8 wins, they always will.
No argument with the top 5. I think those are all deserving. But Ohio State at 6? Come on....
Clemson at 16 is a bit disappointing, albeit warranted. Boyd and Watkins are gone, although I expect they won't miss a beat with Stoudt/Watson at the helm. :yes:

Notre Dame, Texas, Baylor....ehh.
Baylor will coast through the year in a weak conference (where all their coaches will defend not having a championship game...) and then get beat badly again in the BCS. Typical...boring.
Pretty wild Alabama #2 with a FSU reject QB.

After losing the final two games of last season.
I wouldn't label Coker a reject.
Does florida still have a football program? Couldn't find them in the top 25.
How excited is everyone for the playoff system! Man I'm stoked.
Quote:I wouldn't label Coker a reject.
Reject might be a bit harsh but I would say he is a bit of an unknown. I think most people assume he will be good enough to still compete for a title because the talent around him is so good.

He was thought of highly at FSU. I don't want to root against him but I sure hope he doesn't give Alabama another edge.

Without a doubt baby! Top 25 by years end!
I too love the start of a playoff system. Will personally be happy when it is at 16!

Reject is not only harsh, but shows a complete lack of understanding.
What universe are we in? No Gators in the top 25?!?!?
On future NFL talent alone we deserve some recognition.

Ummmm, 4-8.

Lol, well that would be an accomplishment to crack the top 25 period.
First losing season since 79 JTmoney.
We did suck however , can't argue that.
But c'mon man, you know the Gators got some serious ballers.

That offense still has serious question marks. I'm thinking 7 wins is a good season this year.
I might be in the minority, but I don't believe Texas A&M should be starting in the top 25. I know they had a good recruiting class, but they lost their best player in Manziel and the defense was absolutely horrible last year.
Quote:Funny the benefit of the doubt given to schools like Texas, USC, Georgia and Notre Dame in these polls.
USC was a 10 win team last year, very young and very low depth.
They played 12 guys on defense last year against stanford (13 if you include the one player who had 1 play).
USC in top 15 is deserved.
