So here's my initial week one BlogPoll ballot. For the unknowing:
So, in a poll that's meant to be descriptive, based on team strength, and based totally on results that have yet to happen, here's my whack at the proverbial piñata.
| Rank | Team | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Georgia | It may be boring, but they do appear to be the most talented team out there thus far. Matthew Stafford may not be the best quarterback out there, but a guy like Knowshon Moreno should certainly help him out in that regard. |
| 2 | Ohio State | |
| 3 | Oklahoma | A team that should be carried by their all-world offensive line. Sam Bradford was a damn good freshman, and that should continue. |
| 4 | Southern Cal | How good can they be without Sanchez at quarterback? If the issue reappears during the middle of the season, can a guy like Mitch Mustain figure it out in the Pac 10? |
| 5 | Florida | |
| 6 | Missouri | I could have put Mizzou anywhere between 1 and 10. I don't think they're the most talented, nor will I ever trust Gary Pinkel, but, dammit, I love Chase Daniel, and their defense was quietly underrated last year. They missed Pig Brown at the end of the year. |
| 7 | LSU | I'm a pretty big Les Miles fan, and I have a feeling they'll survive without flawlessness at QB. |
| 8 | Texas | |
| 9 | Auburn | |
| 10 | Clemson | I suppose an ACC team had to show up eventually. |
| 11 | West Virginia | West Virginia could very well be this year's Michigan, falling to obscurity. Not thinking they made the right choice for head coach. |
| 12 | Kansas | While last year was a fluke, Kansas should still be "good." Not great, but still good. |
| 13 | Virginia Tech | |
| 14 | Texas Tech | I'll believe in Pirate Leach as soon as he wins the South. |
| 15 | Tennessee | |
| 16 | Wisconsin | Just not thinking the Big 10 is that good outside of Ohio State, nothing new.... |
| 17 | Illinois | ...though the Zooker can pull in talent. If they get a good solid QB someday, watch out. |
| 18 | Oregon | |
| 19 | Penn State | |
| 20 | Arizona State | |
| 21 | Brigham Young | I'll always need to be sold on BCS-busters/mid-majors. |
| 22 | Wake Forest | I love Jim Grobe. |
| 23 | Utah | |
| 24 | Rutgers | The Scarlet Knights either get too much love or too little love for my liking.... |
| 25 | South Florida | ....whereas the Bulls just usually get too much for my liking. |
So, yeah, comments are appreciated. I can edit this bad boy for a while.
