Preseason and Regular Season Polls (2015)

[ScriptOhio]

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WAY-TOO-EARLY TOP 25
And so, here is a much-too-early top 25 heading into the 2015 season. Don’t laugh -- it’ll be fall camp before you know it.
1.

• 2014 RECORD: 14-1
  Key Losses: DT Michael Bennett, DE Steve Miller, DE Rashad Frazier, LBCurtis Grant, CB Doran Grant, TE Jeff Heuerman, WR Devin Smith, WR Evan Spencer
  
  Key Returnees: QB Cardale Jones, QB J.T. Barrett, QB Braxton Miller, WR Michael Thomas, WR Jalin Marshall, RB Ezekiel Elliott, RB Dontre Wilson, LB Darron Lee, SVonn Bell, CB Eli Apple, LB Raekwon McMillan, DE Joey Bosa
  
  How this ranking will be right: The Buckeyes continue to crush everything in their path as Urban Meyer’s motivational slogans become posters hung all over the state of Ohio. Babies born in Columbus are wrapped in blankets that read the same sayings, and those words are instilled in the youth. Scarlet and gray are the only colors anyone is able to see.
  
  How this ranking will be wrong: Complacency, or something.

FTF... umm... SI I guess

 

[Coqui]

Right after the NC Game, they had TCU at #1. I guess Cardale Jones changed that?

That was ESPN's ranking.

I would never use Urban Meyer and complacency in the same sentence. If a player gets complacent..,Bench. Coach..come to Urban's office for a chat.

Once again, a surprise to absolutely nofuckingbody, it's still mostly an SEC slob fest...if the reason you get credit for a "tough" schedule is because you fucking suck donkey dick and are perennial underachievers GTFOH. (Looking at you Volunteers, Longhorns, Bulldogs and Fighting Irish)

Get your shit together with these top 5-top 10 recruiting classes and do something. In particular, SEC East still doing less with more.

Don't need to read. This is a top 15 and there are 14 teams in the sec. So you take each of them and then add in the worst team in the PAC 12 south that plays Oregon and Stanford. I could be a sports writer.

Fortunately, if tOSU wins out, tOSU is in the playoff.

As far as the B1G overall, here is what I see the 2015 polls turning on:

-Wiscy is playing Saban. Wiscy has nothing to lose, but Saban must win by 59 to say anything and has a slight chance of a catastrophic loss
- Sparty is playing Nike again, in East Lansing, without Mariota
- scUM is playing BYU, Oregon State, and Utah. All 3 are losable!!!!
- Nebraska is playing BYU and Miami
- PSU plays nobody, so they will be undefeated until they play tOSU
- Minnesota opens against the Horned Frogs. If Minnesota wins, it is a catastrophe for TCU

JFC. Alabama with toughest schedule in the entire country despite playing a fucking 6-6 Middle Tennessee team in their second game and FCS Charleston Southern in their next to last game.

Oregon at 5 and FSU at 6 with the losses they have at QB is laughable

Baylor at 4 is a joke too - they lost Petty.

Indeed. I mean, name me one kid.. just one.. who wouldn't want to play for that whiny bitch of a head coach they have. You can't do it. Don't even try.
