Hard to argue this early.  BUT, I think BYU is way too high and Colorado should be ranked in the lower 20's.

Answer 3

Could you please list your source?  I've looked in several places on the web and have not found an updated poll.

Answer 4

Ohio State should be 10th (kidding)

Its fair, it is to early to really rank these teams, nobody has a body of work to be judged on.  

but my trojans are #1 thats always good!

Answer 5

The AP Poll is on ESPN

Answer 6

THANKS FOR THE INPUT! IT IS FAIR!  

Answer 7

The polls are never fair this early in the season.  They are for our entertainment.  Pre season polls should be thrown out the window.  You notice the only poll that really matters doesnt come out until halfway through the season.

Answer 8

I'm surprised that Utah got in, I think they beat a mediocre Michigan team, nothing special and Fresno St. should have been in there earlier but they just have to prove themselves

Answer 9

Thanks for printing this.  It looks fair to me based on how team's performed week 1.  

My respect for Mizzou, Illinois, Alabama and Clemson only goes up all around for scheduling "real" games against top programs on Week 1.  We need more of that - it would be good for football.

Answer 10

There really shouldn't be pre-season polls. They should be released several weeks into the season like the BCS poll, after the teams have gotten into conference play and have really shown their abilities. Pre-season polls just make it harder for other teams to rise up while the perennially good or strong teams get to sit up top waiting to be knocked down. Right now, numerous teams are 1-0...why should any of them be ranked above another at this point?

Answer 11

Polls mean nothing right now but after watching football over the weekend ,USC looked the best!!

Answer 12

This is what i would do

1. USC

2. Ohio state

3. Oklahoma

4. Gerogia

5. LSU

6. Flordia

7. Missouri

8. Texas

9. West Virgnia

10. Auburn

11. Wisconsin

12. Kansas

13. Alabama

14. Arizona State

15. Brigham Young

16. Oregon

17. Texas Tech

18. South Florida

19. Fresno

20. Penn state

21. Wake forest

22. Clemson

23. Utah

24. Illniois

25. Tennessee

Answer 13

Thanks for this, I was wondering if they would put Utah on it. I'm a bit surprised UCLA didn't make the Coach's Poll, though.

Cheers!

Answer 14

Well trying to be objective and not be offended my buckeyes dropped...but right now i think its still a c**p shoot...i mean most of us are playing rinky dink teams that if we dont slaughter there is a problem.  For my team, the game vs usc will be huge test.  So for right now...yeah rankings work for me!
