Preseason rankings are always whacked. I am anxious to see who gets knocked out first and which top ten team gets knocked off their perch first (or both at the same time, which is always awesome).

1. Southern California
2. Georgia
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State
5. Florida
6. LSU
7. Missouri
8. West Virginia
9. Clemson
10. Texas
11. Auburn
12. Wisconsin
13. Kansas
14. Texas Tech
15. Tennessee
16. Arizona State
17. Brigham Young
18. Virginia Tech
19. Penn State
20. Oregon
21. Illinois
22. South Florida
23. Wake Forest
24. Fresno State
25. Texas A&M

Marko, Rutgers from the Big East.....Wisconsin from the Big 12..
...UCLA from the Pac 10. "No real schedule"? Believe me, these
teams are real.
Go Dogs! Silence the Haters!

Virginia Tech, Arizona State and BYU are within 19 points of each other. This is basically a tie for 15th. I suspect these teams will be shuffled in the AP poll, with BYU a little higher.

This poll is not part of the BCS so BYU does not need to even be in it. It is, however, a fair predictor of the AP and Harris Polls.

BYU has the BCS right where they want them. If they achieve the "Quest for Perfection" by destroying thier opponents like a 2004 Utah team they will go very far.

Oregon is not far from the ranking in the poll. After throwing out Penn State and Michigan, who IMO are not top 25 teams, I continued through the ORV until I found teams that looked like a reasonable option to put their.

Fresno State Rutgers will be for a top 20 spot.

Time will tell.

Our 300+ pounders on the line should be opening nice lanes for Darrell Mack and Matt Asiata. If you are relying on your corners to stop them, they will be too bruised up to hit anyone.

Ok, you can keep up with our top two receivers no problem. What about our third receivers and our tight ends? We like to get the ball to everyone. Brian Johnson was the MWC #1 passer in 2006 and top 10 nationally. He will find targets if his primary options are covered.

FSU and Miami joined the ACC and their level lowered to match the rest of the conference.

We should play and find out.....anybody, anyplace, anytime......except Kansas State that is.
They don't want anything to do with us.
Go Bulldogs!

BYU isn't ranked high enough... 17 There are so many rated over them and they won't even do anything

Re: 2008 Preseason USA Today Coaches Football Poll

Marko — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:32:20 -0000

You mean over-rated. OU will have at least 2 losses.

Re: 2008 Preseason USA Today Coaches Football Poll

Marko — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:31:30 -0000

Utah fans beware... Michigan's defense is going to shut you out. The two starting corners just ran a 4.13 and 4.20 40 yard dash... you'll never get open.

Re: 2008 Preseason USA Today Coaches Football Poll

Marko — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:26:01 -0000

I dont think Michigan is a number 2 team. That said.. if their defense is as good as everyone is saying it is... they can win 10 games easily. W/O a real QB to run RR's offense, it's a stretch to win that amount of games. They should win their first 4 games... after that, its a crap shoot depending how well the defense is playing.

How do you put Fresno State and BC and Oregon in the top 25? They are one-time wonders with no real schedule.

I don't know about the AP poll, but the BP biased ranking would look more like this:

1. Georgia
2. Oklahoma
3. LSU
4. USC
5. Florida

6. Ohio State
7. Auburn
8. West Virginia
9. Wisconsin
10. Texas

11. Missouri
12. Kansas
13. Virginia Tech
14. BYU
15. Arizona State
16. Clemson
17. Texas Tech
18. Tennessee
19. Oregon
20. Illinois
21. South Florida
22. Wake Forest
23. Fresno State
24. Rutgers
25. Boston College

I think you greatly over estimate Michigan.

They are ranked with Fresno State for a reason.

Auburn had five wins against 9+ win teams in 2004:

Louisiana State (9-3) [defending National Champ]
Tennessee (10-3)
Georgia (10-2)
Tennessee (10-3) [SEC East Champ]
Virginia Tech (10-3) [ACC Champ]

I don't care if they played Harvard for the rest of their wins, THIS is respectable.

Don't take this as an insult to your intelligence, but how are you having a hard time seeing OU Ron's point? LSU plays GA & FL. GA plays LSU & FL. FL plays GA & LSU. Those teams will beat each other up. Speaking of Tennessee, I am interested in seeing how their OOC schedule pans out with UCLA, UAB, Northern Illinois, and Wyoming. I see Auburn losing at Mississippi State, at West Virginia, and at Alabama. I see FL losing to Miami and Florida State :) BOOMER!

grcunning, I most definately agree. How in the heck does a team with a mediocre QB and 1 returning offensive lineman deserve a preseason coaches poll ranking of #2?? I just don't get it. If anything, Ohio State should be ranked number 1 because they have the largest number of starters returning from last years team. BOOMER!
