I think this poll has it nailed. Thats how I would have the top 5.

[bigboydan]

I pretty much agree with the top 5. However, what I don't agree with is UCLA being ranked at all this year.

[ShamsWoof10]

We'll see how good UofMichigan is this year... They will be lucky to finish in the top 5... They were the most over rated team last year... The WHOLE big ten was..

I can see USC winning the BCS...so can everyone else though...

[FightForCalifornia]

Virginia Tech, Louisville should be 7-8.

I don't think that FSU is very good, but I think that they're a lot better than the teams that they're ranked around.

FSU still gets the respect from the pollsters for some reason. There talents levels have been on the decline for quite a few years now, but they just refuse to acknowledge it...

FSU should have enough to win this year.

The nepotism era is over at FSU, as Bobby's kid Jeff has just become a millionaire after angry alumni bought him out.

And the school has paid Jimbo Fisher big bucks to leave LSU to become OC. This will put more pts up on the board.

The former HC at NC State, who had Bobby's number, is now with the Noles. So is the OL coach who set up the off line play at West Va.

FSU always had the D. Now they should have the O. Should win the ACC.

Think coaching doesn't matter? Ask any Athletic Director in the land. Or ask Steinbrenner.

OSU seems a bit low to me...Tennessee high...Boise and TCU low...Penn St. high...

[ShamsWoof10]

OSU seems a bit low to me...

If it was dealing with this year's team and not taking last year into consideration OSU has major holes... They won't even be on that list at the end of the season...

Completely agree. The Bruins are getting too much respect for last season's win over SC.

If it was dealing with this year's team and not taking last year into consideration OSU has major holes... They won't even be on that list at the end of the season...

The F*ckeyes will win 10 games. Their out-of-conference schedule is easy, and outside of trips to Happy Valley (a game they could very well win) and the Big House (no shot they beat UM this year), I think they run the table in conference play.

Wisconsin @ 7 is too high. Cal @12 is too low.

They are still Top 5 in talent. The coaching has been on the decline more than anything else. Florida at #3 is way too generous. They'll finish in the 15-20 range this year.

I predict Hawaii will go to a bowl game but will not beat a top top 5 team.

I'll go one step farther sir. I think the Rainbow Warriors will do that, and play there bowl game in Hawaii.

Can't wait for college ball

[pags11]

neither can I big D...

[bigboydan]

I just have to wonder just how high TCU could climb too with there schedule and all.

[pags11]

low teens probably...
