2014 SportsHoopla Preseason Top 25 voting

[BoiseStateFan27]

I actually wanted to start this before the coaches poll came out, but I didn't know when it was coming out.

Same rules as previous years, be reasonable, you can rank FCS schools but rank them in the 20-25 range.


I don't think I ever took the chance to thank whoever tallied the ballots last year, but thank you to whoever it was.

If the person that did them last year doesn't want to again this year, it's open game for whoever wants to


games start August 27th, so ballots will be due before then, if you post them now, you can edit them until then.

Hopefully we'll be in for another fun year

Bunch of damn sheeple posting their top 25! Mix it up for gods sake! The "experts" are so wrong every year on the preseason poll why would you follow them?

 

[occupant]

Thats what a lot of people think. To me that makes no damn sense. A preseason Top 25 should be how good you think teams will do this year. Otherwise you should just rank them exactly where they finished last year. I can promise you no one has seen any meaningful football in order to change last years season end rankings so if you are not basing it off of where you think teams will finish then what the hell are you basing it on??

Err....I base any poll on where the teams are, in my perspective, at the time I make the poll. Right now my basis is the last half of the 2013 season with emphasis on the bowl game and personnel/coaching changes.

I couldn't with any certainty make an assumption on where they will end up, today is as close as I can get. But if today's trend continues to the end of the season I would imagine that the final poll would look like this...with the information I'm working with.

I can't extrapolate numbers from shit that hasn't happened yet.

Maybe instead of calling yours a poll you should call it a prognostication?

[BoiseStateFan27]

I'll put my poll in here, based on how teams look preseason, not based on my predictions


1. Florida State- Winston back, along with others.
2. Auburn - more starters back than Bama from a very good team, road schedule will probably prevent a repeat title bit, but schedule doesn't effect these rankings
3. Oklahoma- assuming Knight's performance against Bama wasn't a fluke, Oklahoma is back to title contention.
4. Alabama- Alabama will have a great running game, is Coker really as good as hyped to be, he hasn't takent the field yet.
5. Oregon - Mariota back, so is the high flying offense.
6. Baylor- Returns Petty, still has great recievers, injuries at RB showed us the news guys are ready to step up.
7. UCLA
8. Michigan State
9. Ohio State
10. Stanford
11. Wisconsin
12. South Carolina- where I put them every preseason
13. Kansas State- Snyder will have a good team this year
14. Georgia
15. Mississippi
16. Arizona State
17. Nebraska
18. Notre Dame
19. Washington
20. Clemson- lost Boyd, Watkins, is the reason so low, Swinney and the defense is why they're ranked.
21. USC- good starters, depth concerns though
22. LSU- lost a lot, means low preseason ranking
23. Duke
24. Cincinnati
25. Bowling Green-homer vote
