Preseason USA Today/Coaches Poll

so the first preseason poll that actually matters is out. My Tigers are sitting about where i like them to be at number 14, just behind a highly overrated UGA squad that i predict is gonna get it's ass handed to it in week 1 vs. an Oklahoma State squad who loves to score points. Florida and Ohio State both find themselves in the top 10 strictly because they were the last teams any of us saw playing a real game. (if that's what Ohio State fans are still calling it.) Boise State also gets some love from the coaches and honestly i wouldn't be surprised if this team goes undefeated again...but they do have to replace their rag armed quarterback and some good skill position players..plus they have the fun and gun in the sun Hawaii squad that might just steal away the Wac title this year. honestly it's hard to really get too upset with this poll. no Miami and no Notre Dame is sort of weird but also is a welcome site. and seeing Michigan so far down means that the coaches actually paid attention to the ass kicking they got handed by USC in the Rose Bowl, unlike 90% of the media. all in all I'm getting more excited by the minute and don't know if i can really wait 24 more days for some college football action. but enough about my thoughts...here's the poll.

1. USC (45)
2. LSU (4)
3. Florida (9)
4. Texas
5. Michigan
6. West Virginia
7. Wisconsin
8. Oklahoma
9. Virginia Tech
10. Ohio State
11. Louisville
12. California
13. Georgia
14. Auburn
15. Tennessee
16. Rutgers
17. UCLA
18. Penn State
19. Nebraska
20. Arkansas
