Can't we do something about Bretgoblow's avatar? This smut shouldn't be allowed on this site. What if my kid sees it? Ok, I won't have a kid for another 3 weeks or so, but it still hurts my eyes and makes me vomit.

Here is the Breakdown of top 25 teams in this poll by Conferences

1. Big 10 - 6 Mich, OSU, Iowa, Purd, Wics, Minn.

2. SEC - 5 LSU, Geo, Fla, Tenn, Auburn.

3. Big 12 - 4 Okla, Texas, KSU, Miss.

4. ACC - 4 FSU, Maryland, Clemson, Virginia.

5. Pac10 - 3 SoCal, California, Oregon

6. BigEast- 2 Miami, W/Va.

7. BigSky - 1 Utah.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Actually, ACC has 5 as Miami is in the ACC now... and The Big Least has 1 as Miami is in the ACC now.

 

[RugbyBuck]

Sorry for stating the obvious, but other than USC, the teams above us all play each other and we, of course, play #7. Each of the winners of these match-ups has the potential to lose another game. Georgia will definitely drop one to Florida, for instance. I like the way this poll shapes up for us. As usual, if we're undefeated going into the Game, we're right in the NC hunt.

 

[kippy1040]

Okay....... I thought Miami would not go into the ACC until 2005

 

[Bucktastic]

What I think is great is on Sept 6, Miami has to play FSU.......both their season openers. Wonder how they feel about actually playing a tough schedule from here on out. Another team we all know we wont have to worry about is the perrenial chokers TEXAS.

 

[Bucklion]

yeah, 8th is about right for them. They'll get up to 2 by beating weak teams 65-0 the first few weeks, lose the 2 games that matter most on their schedule to drop to about 12-14, and then beat up on some jabronies from the WAC in a Bowl game 66-3 to vault back up to 8.

 

[Buckeyehead]

Here is the Breakdown of top 25 teams in this poll by Conferences


7. BigSky - 1 Utah.

I'm pretty sure Utah is in the Mountain West conference.

 

[Bucklion]

Mountain West it is, though I'm sure if you want to see who's in the Big Sky, you can check Virginia Tech's nc schedule for the next 6 years.

I like the idea. We seem to play better at the beginning of the season when we have something to prove. Even if we lose, we could easily comeback and make a run for the national championship since it's so early for a loss.

 

[Jaxbuck]

But if you lose its now to a conference foe. You are then left hoping they lose twice in the ACC(assuming they can run the non-conf slate). After the Nebraska '01 fiasco its going to be tough to play for a NC if you don't even win your conference.

 

[indianacane02]

We're going to have to play them sometime. Remember, most of those ACC teams like Clemson and UVA could easily beat FSU. Either way, I like it being the first game of the year as it does help us get our feet wet. . . . reeeeeal quick.
