FOFC/SGS College Football Poll, first regular season poll results

[cartman]

Hello all,

Here are the results of the first regular season FOFC/SGS College Top 25 poll.

USC is still on top, and Texas has solidified their hold on the #2 spot. There is a glut of SEC teams in the top 10, but look for that to thin out over the coming weeks, starting with this weekend's Tennessee-Florida match up. We had a bit of turnover, with 5 teams dropping out of the poll. The highest ranked newcomer was Notre Dame at #11, which didn't receive any votes in the pre-season poll.

Looking forward to another weekend of exciting college football action!

As long as Drew Stanton is healthy, Michigan State deserves to be getting votes ahead of the Pitt's/Vandy's/UConn's.

I can't believe Texas got two votes over a team that hasn't been beaten in nearly two years.

[Huckleberry]

I voted for Southern Cal #1, but I think it would be more accurate to say that they haven't lost in over 2 weeks. Last season doesn't count. They lost 4 of 5 OL and a lot on defense.

I still think they're better than everyone else, as do most, but it's not out of the question that they're not.

They are still in the Top 25 of Jim's computer poll. The first few weeks of the season have carryover weight from last season, I think that is why they are still there.
