First Preseason Poll Out

[FedExPope]

And guess who's number 2

A lot of faith in Oregon as well at #11. Oregon State in the T25 as well. Not sure what exactly these rankings are based on, but its used in the BCS.

I didn't expect to see WVU in the top 25. That's a pleasant surprise.

I'd like to hear a reasonable argument that should not have Ohio State at #2 other than "they cannot be the SEC!!!!1!11!1!eleven!"

They can't beat anyone in the SEC, USC, or any competent team.

They are coming off a nice win vs. an Oregon team that was at full strength.

Re: First Preseason Poll Out

Houston at #27 seems about right, but Utah tied for #24? Athlon's has them ranked 39th, while Steele's power poll has them 43rd. What am I missing here?

Neither can Boise State

Oregon, Penn State and Iowa are not competent teams?

Re: First Preseason Poll Out

Am I missing something or did USC not even get a single vote?

Pac-10
#11 - Oregon
#22 - Oregon State
Arizona - 65 votes
Stanford - 41 votes
Washington - 26 votes
Arizona State - 6 votes
California - 6 votes

So, are we to assume they won't finish any higher than 8th in the Pac-10?

Even Navy and Temple received votes, lol.

I hate to point this out, well not really, but Ohio State has matched up with a SEC team in a bowl 9 times in their history, they are still looking for their first win...just sayin'

They can't have any votes due to their sanctions.

Ah, my mistake. Thanks for clearing that up. I was going to say, they aren't that bad, they still have great talent.

Far be it from me to kick them while their down...

I kid, I kid.

Best part is, SC's worst team in nearly a decade still beat Ohio State in their own house. With a true freshman QB no less. Not to mention the 35-3 throttling the year before. I guess I understand your bitterness.
