A lil early for an April Fools isn't it?

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- PRESEASON, Aug. 18

South Carolina and Kentucky in the top 20? Bama at No. 3?

What the fuck are you smoking?

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- PRESEASON, Aug. 18

Nope. No joke. Once the games start, I have no preconceived notions. My poll isn't about who I think will be top 25 at the end of the season. It's about earning your way each week. I have only one game to go on for everyone. I have no problem making radical changes every week, based on what the teams do, who they play and and what previous opponents do. That Clemson win three weeks from now may look like crap but right now it's not.

I'll guarantee I'll swap out at least five-seven teams next week. But I'm not rewarding Arizona State or Texas Tech for the games they played or keeping Virginia Tech in just because they're Virginia Tech.


Edit: S. Carolina and Kentucky played foes from power conferences and won rather convincingly.

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- PRESEASON, Aug. 18

My rule for this week is you have to win to stay in. I'm not putting an 0-1 team ahead of a 1-0 team, so Clemson, VaTech, Illinois, Tennessee and Rutgers (what was I thinking there?) are gone. Alabama, Fresno St., UCLA, Cal and Utah moved in. Here's the whole shebang.

1 Southern Cal
2 Georgia
3 Oklahoma
4 Missouri
5 Florida
6 Ohio State
7 LSU
8 West Virginia
9 Texas
10 Auburn
11 Kansas
12 Alabama
13 Texas Tech
14 Arizona State
15 Wisconsin
16 South Carolina
17 BYU
18 Oregon
19 South Florida
20 Penn State
21 Wake Forest
22 Fresno State
