Where did I go?

Finals suck. So, that is what I have been up too.

And, in the world of college football, the USA Today preseason poll was released. Now, this definitely does not affect my poll, but the other rankings and polls will be looked at throughout the season. The USA Today poll is the coaches poll. The coaches (aka some assistant in their respective schools athletic department) will send in their top 25 teams throughout the season. Now these aren't just any coaches, well actually they are just a bunch of coaches. There is a list somewhere I am sure but really doesn't mean anything. If you really want a list it is at the bottom of this page. But, to me these coaches must not actually watch many, if any games throughout their seasons. Now they do get to watch at least most of their own games, but other than that there is so much planning and scheming and "recruiting" that goes on who knows what these guys know. We will get back to that later. But anywho, the rankings...

Top 5

1. USC
2. LSU
3. Florida
4. Texas
5. Michigan

Seems like a respectable group. Everyone usually has a huge jones from them throughout the year, no different this year. LSU is the popular pick, we will see. Florida did win last year so someone must have had the game on and watched them win. But, did they lose too much. Texas, isn't that were Vince Young went to school, I would rank them that high too then, right. And, Michigan. You know I was actually born in Michigan but why put them in the top 5?

Other Notables...

• 6. West Virginia
• 10. Ohio State
• 13. Georgia
• 14. Auburn
• 15. Tennessee
• 24. Hawaii

Well, nice spot for WVU seeing they almost saw their coach go to Alabama. Well, everyone almost went to Alabama. Ohio State lost the last game of the year last year so I think 10 is WAY too high. I think it is pretty hilarious that the three SEC teams that hate each other probably the most are 13, 14, 15. And why did they put UGA on top, they suck and you know what, if they are ranked high in my ranking system, I probably will just skip them. So, watch out. And I thought Hawaii was just funny. They used to be the Rainbows!

Just missing from the 25th spot was my beloved Jackets. They are tied with ACC rival, Boston College. Now my buddy Ryan Kane... yeah you, probably the only one reading this other than my mom and Theresa, he might get to see them play next year because his new football team sucks. Anyway, Tech starts out against Notre Dame, and they are below us, so it looks like the Jackets will be the Favorite. Tech usually works out better as the underdog (see Auburn 2003 and 2005 as well as other in football and basketball). But some evidence for the lack of brains in ranking for the coaches; someone thought that DUKE was worthy of a 25th ranking. DUKE! Right, this should be fun!
