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:


10 years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, and Steve Jobs..... Please don't die, Kevin Bacon.

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.

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.

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.

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.
