All that poll above proves is how incredibly stupid pre-season rankings are. They shouldn't even start ranking teams until around now.

 

Why is Michigan still 5 spots in front of Oregon? Why the hell is Ohio State #4 in the country, when clearly the 5 teams behind them are playing better right now? How can Texas be ranked higher than an Arkansas team that beat them in Austin? Pre-season polls are joke and the ruin the polls for at least half the season.

 

The one good thing is that, when it comes down to it, the polls don't matter for another month anyway.

Huskers at #11! How far can the #1 Defense in the country carry this awful offense?

[KJC]

just another sign of THE MAN keeping good people down lol OSU doesnt look that good to me i thought Michigan would lose soon since Navarre didnt play well in the wins. UM all the way behind Brock "the wall" Berlin.

[Hugg]

Ohio State's not that good, at least not yet. If they can consistently run the ball and tighten their pass defense a notch, they could be, but it better come soon or they're going down, especially if Krenzel's elbow doesn't come around.
