Coaches Poll Predicts Florida as #1

Florida dominated the USA Today Coaches’ Poll, earning 53 of 59 first-place votes. That’s no surprise, since golden boy Tim Tebow is back for one more year with the school. Here’s the rest of the top ten:
- Florida
- Texas
- Oklahoma
- USC
- Alabama
- Ohio State
- Virginia Tech
- Penn State
- LSU
- Mississippi
Texas received four first-place votes, and Oklahoma and USC each had one first-place vote. We’re going to see match-ups between many of these top ten teams, but by then, we could see some of these schools fall from grace. Are there any surprised coming from down below? Is this Notre Dame’s year? What about Oklahoma State or Utah?
In my opinion, though, this top ten list is pretty spot-on. I would have voted for Florida as number one, even if I’m not a fan of the school, and it’s only natural to have Texas and Oklahoma as two and three, consider that they both have a Heisman winner or nominee coming back for another year. Only tie will tell, though.
