A very interesting poll. Alabama and Ohio State got all of the first place votes, but eight other teams received at least one top-3 vote.

Southern Cal made the top 25 despite being left off of 28 of the 39 ballots.

Damn, I can't believe USC still made it with those #s. There's going to be some serious changes after 1 week...UNC, LSU, Oregon State, Boise, VT, TCU...some major drops and elevations are coming. Iowa seems a little high at 6 to me, but I guess we'll see. Actually, we won't, they play no one for about a month I don't think...

EDIT: I guess Iowa does play Arizona, that will be an interesting game.

Agreed. Along with statements of Doug Lesmerises being an idiot for making big changes in the early weeks of the polls. :wink2:

Reactions

~ 20 total points seperate 5 - 9 BSU, Iowa, VPI, UN

~ Boise St recieved more respect from BP voters than I thought they would have got. Voters must think they win in Week 1 over VPI. Meanwhile VPI could end up ranked about where they are whether they win or lose that game.

~ Lot of respect for what Urban Meyer accomplishes on the football field. (I agreed)

~ 3 teams I ranked were left off: UC, NoD, and MSU. I love UC and NoD to be ranked at the end of the season.

~ 3 teams I didn't rank that made it: USC, FSU, and PSU. I have no confidence in Lane Kiffin, first year starters in Pennsylvania, and the Florida State defense.

~ Teams I'm most different on: Boise ST, Oregon, and PSU.

Surprised that there is no love for the non-BCS teams outside of TCU and Boise St. No Houston? No Navy? No Utah? No BYU? Kind of a bummer that got such little love.

They will if they beat somebody...there is always a bit of leariness about the smaller conference schools until they beat someone, but most aren't afraid to rank them when they do.
