re: BCS Champion should be # 1

What do you guys think?
Forget that LSU was the Champ.
I think that the BCS Champ should automatically be ranked # 1 the following season REGARDLESS of how they are perceived the following season Then if / when they loose, the rankings can be adjusted.

I disagree. It's a different team. If you are going to rank teams in preseason, then that ranking should be based on how good you think they are, not on where they finished last year.

I'm curious, though. If you think #1 in last year's final poll should stay #1 in this year's preseason poll, do you think the entire top 25 should stay the same? Should they just not even do a preseason poll, but just use last year's final poll as the starting point for this year?
