Texas isn't top 10. I gave them a mercy vote at 12. They'll finish below that season end.
Book it!!

I think it comes down to the game against LSU. I have no clue who will win that one. I'm predicting Texas, which is why I have them slightly higher in my poll. Even if they go something like 9-3, I think that will be enough for them to finish in the top 12 at least.

Texas could go either way for me. They improved significantly last year. If they continue that trend they'll be a legit team because of the talent on that roster. Or, they could take a step back and not make the top 25. They're one of the harder teams to predict IMO.

No issues with the poll. It is hard to read some of the teams. I saw an OU fan trash Texas but I think Texas is probably in a good spot.

My only thought is that Washington could have been higher. Someone is going to win the Pac12 and hopefully have less than 3 losses and therefore be in the final top ten.

For the SEC, I think Auburn is a little high and I felt that Missouri could have been in the top 25 (although they may have been ineligible due to the bowl ban).

Big10 is a big mystery. The polls loved Ohio State but I have seen others list Michigan. The stars have lined up well for Michigan but they still need to prove themselves by finally beating Ohio State.

ACC is pretty mediocre or questionable outside of Clemson right now. Great chance for a surprise team to emerge (Va Tech comes to mind).

A lot of peeps are ranking Kentucky. Kentucky lost a whole lot, and I don't think they're in reload, not rebuild status just yet. They can definitely prove me wrong, but I expect Kentucky to revert back to the Kentucky we're used to.

Here's a kick me in the balls free card...

texico did put a licking on Jawja in their bowl game...most of Strong's characters are gone...and having them high as a kite leading up to the RRSO will not suck.

I screwed my poll up. Meant to have Oklahoma right after Ohio State.

Don't want those land thieves on my ass for leaving them out.

2 games on Saturday, August 24
Florida vs Miami (FL)
Arizona at Hawaii​
And everyone pretty much plays within the following Thursday-Monday

I will post the preseason one the week leading up to 24th. Should I do Week 1 poll between the kickoff weekend or the real Week 1?

You can make changes to your poll until deadline. I go from last post and work back.

Why the fuck is everyone ranking Iowa St ? Purdy is good but they lost all their other good skill talent and their D is just ok. I mean it's Iowa St for Christ's sake . They went 8-5 last year and lost a ton . I don't get it
