The AP Top 25 Poll should be dropping very soon...here's the projected top 25

10/16 SEC teams in the top 25 preseason is insane. What's crazier is that all 10 of those teams could be top 20 by the end of the season.

I’d take Tennessee over Florida State, Clemson, Michigan and probably Utah. 3/4 of those teams are probably going to have below average to bad QB play. They just play crap competition so they get away with it

#25.....Iowa
#24.....Virginia Tech
#23.....Arizona
#22.....Oklahoma State
#21.....TEXAS A&M - about right

#20.....USC
#19.....N.C. State
#18.....Kansas State
#17.....Miami
#16.....OKLAHOMA - about right

#15.....TENNESSEE - too low
#14.....Clemson
#13.....LSU - about right
#12.....Florida State
#11.....Utah

#10.....Michigan
#9.......Penn State
#8.......MISSOURI - way too high
#7.......OLE MISS - too high
#6.......Notre Dame

#5.......ALABAMA - about right
#4.......Oregon
#3.......TEXAS - way too high
#2.......Ohio State

#1.......GEORGIA - too high by one spot

Yes

Doesn't Utah still have Cam Rising?

They do that’s why I said 3/4. They’d be a tough out and have a good coach. I don’t know if they’d have the WR talent to really exploit our one big weakness though.

Notre Dame and Penn State. Two auto-includes every year, no matter what.

Do you think that two massive brands that went 10-3 last year shouldn't be ranked in the preseason top 25?

LSUBoosie: What I'm saying is that they are always given the benefit of the doubt but haven't won anything major in quite a while. Yes, I'd put them in the Top 25, but not the Top Ten. Notre Dame, particularly, is a media fave without having a brutal league schedule to contend with like all SEC teams do. Re: Penn State. Vegas and the media assumed that they would shut down Ole Miss's offense in the Peach Bowl because of their world-class defense. The opposite happened: Ole Miss shut them down.

Week 1 has some decent match ups as well..

Clemson vs Georgia
Miami vs Florida
ND vs Faggies
USC vs LSU

Auburn will be there in a few weeks.

My favorite program is part of the SEC now, so I probably should at least try to start seeing things differently. But I can't get over the irony of that post on a SEC message board.
