I just had an Ag say the same thing. I responded with a more direct "This is why everyone laughs when you say you will win 8+ games"

Top 10 SEC teams = 5
Top 10 Big XII teams = 1

The SEC has almost as many teams in the Top 10 than the Big XII has in the top 25.

Damn, suprised they put Bama #2. I agree with it, but thought for sure USC would be there.


Its all pretty silly when you really think about it. USC, as good as they will very likely be, has a glaring NR in the last column. It seems ridiculous to me that a team would get that many first place votes after not even finishing the previous season in the top 25. There are only a few programs that would get that kind of treatment by the voters, and LSU ain't one of them. Okay, so you could argue that USC got that much respect due to the realitive strength of schedule. However, Bama (a team with an arguably more difficult schedule than both USC and LSU) got the most first place votes. I understand why it all happens, but it is really retarded when you think about it all together. It is obvious that the voters have nothing close to a unified logic.
