OK so here we go. The AP Top-25 1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Florida State 4. USC 5. Clemson 6. Penn State 7. Oklahoma 8. Washington 9. Wisconsin 10. Oklahoma State 11. Michigan 12. Auburn 13. LSU 14. Stanford 15. Georgia 16. Louisville 17. Florida 18. Miami 19. South Florida 20. Kansas State 21. Virginia Tech 22. West Virginia 23. Texas 24. Washington State 25. Tennessee A couple notes: The Alabama vs. Florida State game this Saturday is the first time in AP Poll history (1950) that 2 of the top 3 teams in the preseason poll play each other in the opener. Geez one of the best games of the year the first weekend. Alabama favored by a touchdown. The biggest opening poll surprises to me are Kansas State at 20 and South Florida at 19. Actually South Florida’s not that surprising. But I don’t ever remember seeing the Kansas State Wildcats in a NCAA Football Top-25 poll before. Ever. Why are their so many top-25 teams in Florida? Isn’t it too hot for football?

should be a fun year in general, and for OSU fans.
I think Bama, OSU, USC, and Clemson make the final 4

Kansas St. has been pretty good for awhile now. Bill Snyder is a great coach.
I'm excited about the college football season. The NFL game and the Browns constant ineptness is becoming a turn-off. I'm enjoying the college game more and more.

They've got a dark horse Heisman candidate in Ertz at QB, too.

The heat is what makes them good.
Heat will sap you faster than will the cold. Players build more reserve when stressed in the heat.
I am a Gator, but I don't expect much out of them this year. We will probably drop after losing to Michigan in the opener.
Florida is a solid recruiting ground for the reasons mentioned. It has the heat, and a big population. You are going to find a lot good athletes down there. Add in there are 3 top tier football schools, and 2-3 others on the next tier, and there you have it. Same reason why Texas and California produce lots of top teams.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong ![[Linked Image]](http://www.dawgtalkers.net/uploads/small-gator-chomp.gif)

Rutgers looks much better this year. They might have been the worst D-1 team in the nation last year. They are hanging w/number 8 Washington, although the punt return was a killer.

Watching the Wisconsin / Utah St game I saw a quick interview with Wisconsin Defensive Coordinator and former Browns DB Jim Leonhard. I always liked him and glad to see him doing well.

Maryland is up on Texas atm. Maryland is looking good. That Pigrome is a playmaking QB and their defense is just really aggressive. I like their attitude, just wonder how long it'll hold against a team with depth like Texas

maryland just gave up a blocked fg for a td (moments after doing it themselves) seems like a big play here

TUN's unis are ghastly. Maryland's DL and skill positions are much improved. This Florida/Michigan game looks like a box of crayons.

 Buckeyes host the Terps October 7th. Great to see a quality Big 10 win. I like the Longhorns though. I hate to see it come at their expense.

Florida has so much freaking speed in their secondary. That pick 6...man dude has wheels.
