1 USC 112.9 1 Will O-line be ready for Buckeyes?
2 Ohio State 111.2 6 Sept 13th at USC will be their biggest test.
3 Oklahoma 109.7 5 Playing their A-game each week will lead them to Jan 8th.
4 Missouri 109.5 7 Everyone knows the offense, however the D could be special.
5 Florida 109.4 8 Can anyone stop the Gators offense???
6 West Virginia 108.6 3 Offense dominates again. D- Coorindinator Casteel retained.
7 Georgia 108.5 4 Suspensions may hurt cohesion later in season.
8 Texas 107.4 11 A top 10 offense, their weakness is in the secondary.
9 Texas Tech 107.0 15 At long last stability at QB in Lubbock. D also solid.
10 Clemson 106.8 15 Needs to avoid annual hiccup, but are loaded at skill positions.
11 Brigham Young 105.5 13 Cougars capable of big year and BCS appearance.
12 Kansas 105.3 9 Jayhawks will not sneak up on anyone. Great Linebackers!
13 Penn State 104.9 18 Lions quietly have won 9+ L3Y. Lost 2 DT to susp.
14 South Carolina 104.2 NR Spurrier’s D is loaded with 3rd yr starters. QB controversy???
15 LSU 104.1 2 Reloads on a yearly basis. Quarterback a big question mark.
16 Oregon 104.0 NR QB Roper fits O-Coorindinator Kelly’s offense. Solid all around.
17 Texas Christian 103.8 NR Attention AP Voters!!! TCU 30-8 last 3 yrs & getting better.
18 Auburn 103.7 25 Brutal SEC schedule plus a trip to West Virginia.
19 South Florida 103.6 27 If QB Grothe stays healthy, Bulls have a chance at the BCS.
20 Wisconsin 103.1 20 Badgers always play to the level opposition.
21 California 102.7 24 Well coached. Reloading on offense. Moving to 3-4 on D!
21 Virginia Tech 102.7 10 Hokies looking for playmakers on both sides of the ball.
21 Tennessee 102.7 17 New up-tempo offense will take time to learn.
24 Arizona 101.6 20 New offense has been a roaring success. Tuitama will go wild.
25 Cincinnati 100.9 19 HC Brian Kelly was a great hire. New QB must fit system.
26 Rutgers 100.5 NR Rice is gone, however Schiano is still a Jersey Boy…
27 Arizona State 100.4 20 O-Line must improve. QB Carpenter back for senior year.
28 Oklahoma State 100.1 NR New season same story. Solid offense ? weak defense.
29 Boston College 100.0 14 Too many losses on Offense. D will be even stingier.
30 Oregon State 99.9 20 HC Riley is 7-0 in bowls games. 4-0 as HC and 3-0 as OC.

I believe they do this based on where teams will finish the year. Hence BYU is that high. I think this poll is more legit than anything else out there.

I am pretty sure it is based on who would be favored in a neutral site game. Don't sleep on BYU they have a very good team this year.

Last year those guys had USC #1 even after they had two losses. They were like, hey would you really bet LSU over USC...uh NO.

We were #1 after the bowls, I am not sure if we were #1 before or not.

This just in: Texas ain't shite since Vince Young became a Titan. Hold on tight to your dreams though, Short-horn.

Take a couple of deep breaths and try to start the healing process.

Well USC was; I would take a wise-guys opinion over a sportswriter's any day. Their poll assumes money is on the line, and last year those guys said if their mortgage was on the line they'd take the Trojans over LSU. But what do they knonw...Vegas doesn't make any money.

After losing to a shite team like stanford, your chances of being number one in any poll should be zero.

FAIL.
He did awesome in the Sun Bowl but is not a Spread Option Quarterback.

This isn't popularity poll so the loss to Stanford doesn't matter...it's who is the best team head to head.
And, no team should be ranked #1 after losing to a team Rick Pitino once coached.

Good question, what do they know [sic]? Last 10 games USC covered the spread 5 times. Last 10 o/u, they were under 8 times. So, you tell me what they know about USC with money on the line.

honestly, south carolina at 14?!!!

Actually Vegas Sportsbooks make very little money. They are a necessary evil so the casino can rape little old ladies on the slots.
The real lines are with the illegal bookies. Those guys have the real inside info.
