Pre-Season Coaches Poll Released

[RWS]

Like I said, I'm in the camp of waiting until some games are played to see where teams are. However, since you have the preseason polls, I think this one is pretty fair.  If not Alabama and OSU and Florida and UT etc...then who?

....which is why pre-season polls are useless.

I agree and disagree. For example, Alabama's 2009 team proved alot. If the entire team was coming back, or like 99% of it, then sure. But in our case, we're damn near replacing one entire side of the ball. Don't get me wrong, if they end up playing like last year, I'll be fucking ecstatic. But the chances are unlikely. Teams can change night and day from one year to the next, good or bad. Look at Alabama 2007, then look at 2008. It can happen that quickly one way or another.

Pre-season polls are good fodder to keep us occupied I suppose, but I don't see where you can put any actual stock in them. Which is where I suppose the "for whatever it's worth" comes into play.

The "for whatever it's worth" covered all that before you wrote it.

I agree on not having polls until at least the 3rd game. No one can really tell what a team is going to do. It's pretty much all eye candy and setting up for stories for the sports cast on your local channel.

BINGO!!!!  I'm hoping we can have a Pre-Preseason Poll, like towards the end of the year go ahead and rank 'em for next year.....Juniors leaving?  Whatever.  Head Coaches being fired/retire/leaving for another job?  Whatever.  Rank 'em as is.  Have some fuckin' balls and take a shot in the dark.  BTW, someone said that if Auburn were to go undefeated again this year that there's no way they'd play in the National Championship Game....eventhough four of the teams that they play are ranked higher in the preseason.  If Auburn can pull it off, which I don't see happening, then Auburn will be playing TCU or Boise State for the Crystal.

It's Bama, then there is Les, then defense gets sketchy.
Florida might get surprised once, but nothing has really changed in the east, even the USC predictions.
I think Tennessee has the most to overcome.
