Here is the AP "preseason" college football poll.
1 Southern California |
| 2 LSU |
| 3 West Virginia |
| 4 Texas |
| 5 Michigan |
| 6 Florida |
| 7 Wisconsin |
| 8 Oklahoma |
| 9 Virginia Tech |
| 10 Louisville |
| 11 Ohio State |
| 12 California |
| 13 Georgia |
| 14 UCLA |
| 15 Tennessee |
| 16 Rutgers |
| 17 Penn State |
| 18 Auburn |
| 19 Florida State |
| 20 Nebraska |
| 21 Arkansas |
| 22 TCU |
| 23 Hawaii |
| 24 Boise State |
| 25 Texas A&M How do you know USC is number 1? Are they the returning national champs? No. It's totally arbitrary and loaded to the big programs. Let's assume USC played Hawaii in week one and Hawaii pulled off an upset. I would expect that Hawaii should be ranked higher than USC. But what will happen is USC will drop to about 4th and Hawaii will move up to 19th. If both teams finish the rest of their seasons undefeated, USC's going to be in the BCS and Hawaii will be watching on TV with the rest of us schleps. So the whole thing is rigged for bigger programs already. Not to mention the four plus non conference home games the bigger programs already play against the likes of Florida International, Eastern Illinois, New Mexico State, Youngstown State. My question for Big Ten football fans is this. If Kent State goes undefeated in their Big Ten Schedule, do they get the Rose Bowl bid? |
