    Comments:
    Florida starts out the season No. 1 due to the returning starters from last year's team. OK St gets the early test with UGA; they'll either stay in the top 5 or drop way down. Virginia Tech is low due to loss of star RB, but win over Bama has them back in the fold.

    I didn't send mine. Not a big fan of preseason polls. I don't know a thing about any of the teams right now.

    "I'm not as sure in writing this about VaTech and Bama, now with the Darren Evan's loss, but I think they could still pull it out

    1 - Florida - Who will be this year's stupid loss?
    2 - Oklahoma - Wins head/head with Texas, will have to try to lose to other teams until the OkSt Game
    3 - Texas - Loses to Oklahoma head/head, comes up short again, continues to whine, get a Conference Championship Game
    4 - Virginia Tech - Beats Bama (not as sure with the loss of Evan's now, but sticking to it), and the best in the ACC until they lose
    5 - California - Beats USC head to head, wins the Pathetic 10, gets a scare against Oregon
    6 - Penn St - Beats Ohio St, wins Little 10, could go undefeated
    7 - USC - Beats OSU, Loses to Cal in their usual ridiculous we dont show up loss
    8 - LSU - ""sleeper"" in the SEC, beats UGAy on the road, chance to beat UF at home
    9 - Ohio St - Good team, but Pryor can't carry them over USC. Late loss to PSU, and maybe Michigan
    10 - Alabama - Loses in opener to VaTech, Can they recover against Ole Miss?
    11 - Georgia Tech - Fluke?, a good start and circle Oct 17 on your calendar for the ACC Coastal
    12 - Ole Miss - 4-0 start heading into Bama, overlooked ""sleeper""
    13 - Boise St - Should impress against a good Oregon team, then they play absolutely…Nobody
    14 - Michigan St - Could easily go 11-1
    15 - Georgia - Would the real Joe Cox please stand up?
    16 - Florida St - Beat Miami in the opener, and off quickly to 5-0

    Comments:
    "1. Florida (no questioning yet)
    2. Texas (Oklahoma failed so Texas goes here)
    3. USC (quarterback questions will keep them away from the top 2 all
    season and most likely will be out of the top 5 sometime this season)
    4. Oklahoma
    5. Alabama
    6. Penn State --Joe Pa has been building a good team these past few years
    7. LSU--I think they will be the one team to beat Florida this year.
    8.Ohio State--I hate to do this but frankly I will try to give them
    the benefit of the doubt
    9. Virginia Tech (Alabama game will either show how good or bad this
    team truly is)
    10. Oregon--This is my wildcard team that I think has the best chance
    to take over USC's dominance in the Pac
    11.Georgia Tech-- The offense will be better, the defense will suprise
    a lot of people because even though the d-line is young the
    linebacking core and secondary will be two of the best units in the
    past few years.
    12.Florida State--I think they may start a little rusty but will end
    up with at least 10 wins and will easily win the Atlantic.
    13. Ole Miss
