2009 sj.com College Football Poll -- FINAL POLL PG 25!!!!!

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 9/8/09 poll Page 5

You got that right about Charlie "run the clock" Weis. And we'll see if Michigan can beat Iowa (or Michigan State) before I put them in the top 25.

One thing I do feel good about -- I had Central Michigan in my preseason top 25 (at No. 25) because I thought they had a chance to beat Arizona and/or Michigan State.

At least I was half-right about the Chippewas. They should do well in the mighty MAC.

Oklahoma State drops to No. 20 after that loss. Notre Dame falls out after being ranked No. 18 last week.

As is always the case with the early polls, I struggled to find teams for the bottom part of my ballot. How do you reward some of the slop that is sitting at 2-0?

 

Re: 2009 SportsJournalists.com College Football Poll -- 9/8/09 poll Page 5

You do like me and put a 1-0 team at #25 (like Baylor).

Slappy, please use the "CORRECT FBC Week 3 Poll" PM from me. I sent you an incomplete one the first time.

Again, as most have said, polls this early in the season are a 'crapshoot'. Also, if team 'A' wins and teams B-F win, there won't be much movement on my end.
