LOL GaTech #5.

I guess if we are going to make homer polls instead of honest ones, I'll start-

1) Ohio State
114) Michigan

Some thoughts (to pick on your rankings [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

Oregon is good, but 7? GA Tech #5? Not sure about those.

I would split my vote for #1 between USC and LSU. I think it's impossible to say who is better until they have both played more games.

I don't think Louisville is a top ten team after seeing them again MTSU.

I also don't think Texas is that good.

UF is better than 12 imo.

Overall, pretty good rankings though.

I figured my avatar would lead to bias accusations, but I'm really not being a homer. I've done Top 25 rankings for years and I have GT below their AP rank as often as I have them above it. I just happen to think the Jackets are really good this year. I had them #10 to start the year and the first two weeks, they've been really impressive while the teams above them (Louisville, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc.) have looked like crap. FWIW, I had them ranked the same as CFN last week, so I'm not the only one who's high on Georgia Tech this year.

As for Oregon, on pure yardage differential, they actually led the Pac-Ten last year ahead of USC and just got unlucky on scheduling and turnovers. Now, they look to have a defense on par with their offense with the win over Michigan. I still don't think they're quite as good as UCLA, but I do think they're a Top 10 team.

gatech does have a really soft schedule, I think its very likely they could run the table until they run into UGA the last game of the season, and judging by this week even uga might be soft

watch out for them

GT has like the easiest schedule in the nation, they could go undefeated. We should know more when they play BC this week though.

With impressive wins over monster teams like Notre Dame and Samford, why not just put them #1?
