The season is coming, whether you like it or you love it. Here's the preseason coaches' poll. Where is Steve Spurrier's token vote for Duke? Notre Dame gets 5 votes; 4 of them from Charlie Weis, presumably. Nebraska receives a whopping 17 compared to an astronomically improbable, mindblowingly better and nearly infinitely superior, hard-hitting 1,438 for #1 Georgia.
The top ten, shamelessly copied and pasted from USA Today:
1. | Georgia (22) | 11-2 | 1,438 | 3 |
| 2. | Southern California (14) | 11-2 | 1,430 | 2 |
| 3. | Ohio State (14) | 11-2 | 1,392 | 4 |
| 4. | Oklahoma (3) | 11-3 | 1,329 | 8 |
| 5. | Florida (5) | 9-4 | 1,293 | 16 |
| 6. | LSU (3) | 12-2 | 1,163 | 1 |
| 7. | 12-2 | 1,143 | 5 | |
| 8. | West Virginia | 11-2 | 1,008 | 6 |
| 9. | Clemson | 9-4 | 999 | 22 |
| 10. | Texas | 10-3 | 979 | 10 |
Clemson is getting a lot of buzz this preseason. I have no idea why...I need to keep up more. Do they have a "secret weapon" athlete who has to be carted onto the field in a crate marked "DANGER" and wears a jersey with number "00" which stands for how many seconds you have to live? Like I said, I have no idea. But that would be awesome.
