What do coaches know?

Well, the coaches poll is out, and Georgia is number one. Georgia was the hottest team ending the 2007 season, so it's understandable why they would be the pre-season number one. As much as we completely disagree with the idea of preseason rankings, it's a news item and that means we have to talk about it. It should be interesting to see how long Georgia holds onto that spot since, after all, they play in the Greatest Conference Ever In the History of Organized Sports. They'll probably lose a couple games and stay on top though, as long as the losses are early enough.

USC, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Florida round out positions 2-5.

In Big11Ten and PSU news, there's 5 Big11Ten teams in the Top 25. Ohio State (3), Wisconsin (12), Illinois (19), Penn State (22) and Michigan (24). One of these years teams are going to stop being ranked in the top 5 just because they're big name Big11Ten schools.

Yeah, we're looking at you, Ohio State. You better start winning those big games you get gifted into or you're going to make the Big11Ten look worse and worse every year.

Michigan at 24 seems like a surprise to a lot of people. You can't have any way of knowing what the hell they're going to give you this year. They're Michigan, so they should be good enough in the Big Ten, but no one really knows what that means anymore. Maybe PSU can actually beat them this time.

And there's really nothing to argue about with PSU at 22. It's a good spot. Respected, but under the radar.

Not a lot should change in the first week of play, the only Top 25 teams that play each other will be Missouri (7) and Illinois (19). Maybe Appalachian State can destroy another superpower when they play LSU, but we'll just have to wait and see.
