Football Preseason Poll

1. Florida
2. Texas
3. Oklahoma
4. Southern Cal
5. Alabama
6. Ohio St.
7. Virginia Tech
8. Mississippi
9. Oklahoma St.
9. Penn St.
11. LSU
12. California
13. Georgia
14. Boise St.
15. Georgia Tech
16. Oregon
17. TCU
18. Florida St.
19. Utah
20. BYU
21. North Carolina
22. Iowa
23. Notre Dame
24. Nebraska
25. Kansas

Others receiving votes: Oregon St. 122, Illinois 105

My prediction for the championship game on Jan. 7 in Pasadena:

USC Trojans turn back the Crimson Tide of Alabama in a close one.

Two Big 10 teams in the top 10, that's surprising, but six from the
SEC and Big 12 is not. Wayne Knight's Bayou Bengals are ranked 11th
and Wayno's Tarheels 21st. Good luck, boyos. My Illini are 27th based
mainly on the strength of our returning offense led by senior QB Juice
Williams and a supposedly stellar receiving corps. We'll see, I'm always
nervous to see the Illini anywhere near the preseason polls.

What ? You don't have enough of my booze already ? Hell, I've
already shipped a lifetime supply down there and I don't see
any sense in contributing further to the demise of your poor
liver. ;-)

It's good to see the MWC getting some respect. Three teams in the top
20. Now if they can just live up to the preseason love. However, BYU
starts at Oklahoma (in Dallas), at Tulsa, then Florida State at home.
Has potential to be ugly.

where the heck is Opie, with the preseason top 20 in the
Championship division? You know, the one that actually finds the time to
hold a real playoff......
Tom

fwiw, this will be Penn State's year.

I'm here, damn ya!

Did ya not read my post about our star quarterback and how his lawnmower
viciously attacked him! He wound up receiving 40 or so stitches in his foot,
or so I'm told?

Anyway, ya wanna make some bets on the season or should we just go ahead and
say the Appalachian State Mountaineers will go undefeated and win another
National Championship!

Opie --modest to a fault, when it comes to his almermater football team

we can wait on those until they face the UNH Wildcats
and their trained team of lawnmower-wielding atheletes.
