Sitting at #10 works just fine for me.

 

[Taosman]

Sneaky #10.................
Go ahead and ignore us and dis us America!
We'll have the last laugh!

 

[NFBuck]

Top 10 sounds good to me. Maybe a little high, but striking similarities to 2002 when we began, I think #13. Athletic young defense; relatively unproven, smart QB; young stud RB; big, solid, cohesive OL...

 

[Jaxbuck]

SOS wise we'll be helped by getting to play 2 Top 10 teams ahead of us(assuming they stay that way).

I like 10, not high enough to draw attention, not low enough to permanantly fuck you.

As always with polls there are some questionable ones. WVU, OU and VT jump out at me.

 

[cincibuck]

It would appear that many are counting on OSU to lose to both Wisconsin and Michigan. I don't see that happening.

And where is Charlie and the Touchdown Factory? Can't they see how many Super Bowl rings Charlie has?

Their "reloading" years begin outside of the top-25. Ours begin at #10.

 

[rocketman]

Lots of cool early season match-ups... WSU vs. Wisconsin, VT vs. LSU, and I think FSU plays Alabama in the 2007 Cheaters Bowl sponsored by Enron...

I'm fine w/ the rankings, though. Just win, baby.

#29.....behind Miami

 

[buckeye_butcher]

Yeah but you know if they luck out and win the first two they will jump us in to the top 5. Media Darlings!

 

[Big Papa]

I was pleasantly surprised to see the Bucks at 10. I figured around 13-15. With decent QB play this season, we could mix it right up with any of these teams. There are a lot of good teams there this year, not one dominant team from what I can see. USC will be awesome, but so will WVU. I like Texas this year as well and of course, scUM will disappoint.

 

[Napoleonbuck]

I'm surprised Oklahoma and Virginia Tech are ahead of us and that Louisville isn't ahead of us(and West Virginia).

I'd go:

USC
Texas
Michigan
LSU
Florida
Louisville
WVU
Ohio State
Wisconsin
Virginia Tech

 

[Zurp]

I figured around 13-15.

That's what I would have gone with. About on par with what I expected 2002 to be like. Of course, #13 means 12 teams are ahead of you, and I don't know enough about the rest of the NCAA to know which 12 that is.

 

[buckeyeinfla]

good start for osu..florida a little high for me at 3 but it will all shake out

 

[OCBucksFan]

I am pretty happy with the ranking to be honest, everything I have read and seen lead me to believe we would be around 15. We have a lot of untested people in important areas, QB and Receivers. Our schedule may work against us but we'll see.

USC is really hyped nationwide, it will be interesting to see how they do, Petey is good at dealing with Hype but last year his team fell apart at the UCLA game.
