USA Today Preseason Poll

[RealBronco]

Well it's out fellas...

suck on that Mountain West! hahahahahaha.

poll here.

[Ilovechiaki]

I can't believe Cal is in 12th and Oregon's in 14th. Besides, they're both gonna go 7-6 and choke anyways.

[SheerCold]

Wow. I honestly don't get how you rank Iowa over Nebraska. Especially, since they lost one of the best RB's they've ever had, and a great guard in Seth Olsen (now a Bronco of course). When Nebraska has arguably the best DT in the country, plus we have plenty of momentum from last season's Gator Bowl victory.

Atleast, they didn't put KU ahead of us. I honestly get sick about hearing how Kansas is going to win the Big 12 North.

Both teams ended the season strong and have a good amount of talent.

I agree. I think Iowa is going to go 6-6 and make the Motor City Bowl, while Nebraska is going to go 10-3 and make the Cotton Bowl.

to concede, i find it interesting that Utah is not ranked above Boise State, or TCU for that matter being they beat us in the Poinsettia. And Utah beat Alabama (now #5)... you'd think they would've ranked Utah much higher...

however, i do not care. lol. we've been passed over many-a-time so.

now if we can repeat what we did last year (plus one) and go undefeated we are golden. getting past Oregon again will be huge and now we have a giant advantage...

poll here.

Suck on what?? 3 MWC teams in the top 25 and only 1 WAC? haha

And am I missing something or does the Big East not have anyone?

[GatorChomp]

First off...#1 BABY!

Second, I'm a little surprised to see Notre Dame in the top 25, even if it is near the bottom at 23. I guess they do have a rediculous amount of talent.

[CoryWinget81]

Notre Dame could go 0-whatever, and still be ranked in the top 25 next year.

They have an incredible amount of talent coming in this year and they have come off a huge bowl game win in Hawaii. That's perfect placing imo, not too high but not too low.

read my post right above yours. i said "suck on that" because we are ranked above all three of the MW teams. One of which beat the team that is currently #5. and the other beat US in our bowl game last year. lol

that's why i said that. but i think we deserve our spot. we've been trying to prove time and again we belong there... the other two are just beginning.

[IrishConrad]

yeh...

Where are all the Big East BSC powers.

BCS sucks again.

Oh I saw that, but I would rather have three in the Top 25 even if they are ranked lower than BSU. (Which they shouldn't be)

Which do you think is a better indicator at the moment USA today top 25 VS SI's top 25 ....

Keep in mind I really dont like the use of any preseason polling .... I wanted to see some thoughts on If you think any teams got robbed,which teams are receiving hype etc....Just as a pliminary give me your top 8 at the end of the season (before the bowls) ....1.2..3...GO !!

I noticed a bit of an error on SI's part from the sports cover and its college football rankings home page ....

Whts up with that ..... ?
Notice the top 25 is different then the top 20 on the cover ....

that's why i think it's humorous. we've spent the past few years getting overlooked on the polls and now it's someone else's turn.

sure it would be nice if some of the other WAC teams were ranked for sos but that's alright. i'll take ranked higher...
