I'm not a fan of preseason polls in general, but I'll put one out for continuity's sake. I dropped UNC off due to the rumored suspensions. PS cartman - I read your initial post, but are there exceptions in regards to preferred nomenclature for UNC/LSU/USC/TCU/A&M ? Or should I/we spell out Louisiana State each week?

I'm interesting in the answer to this too. In the past, it seemed that the most standard abbreviations & acronyms were fine (LSU, USC, TCU, BYU) and I've generally used those as well, based in part on the fact that cartman copies those over when he posts Solecismic rankings.

Abbreviations are fine. Most of them are clear, with the exceptions of UT (please specify Tenn. or Tex.) and rarely USC (most people never refer to South Carolina with this, but it did happen once) or FSU (had someone a few years back use this for Fresno State).
In the interest of disclosure, here is my list: 1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Texas 4. Boise State 5. TCU 6. Florida 7. Georgia 8. Oklahoma 9. Virginia Tech 10. Nebraska 11. Oregon 12. Iowa 13. Miami(FL) 14. Arkansas 15. Georgia Tech 16. Wisconsin 17. Pittsburgh 18. USC 19. Stanford 20. Oregon State 21. Utah 22. Cincinnati 23. Auburn 24. West Virginia 25. LSU
