Friday, the USA Coaches’ Poll was released (finally) with Georgia at number one. Here’s the complete list:
- Georgia
- USC
- Ohio State
- Oklahoma
- Florida
- LSU
- Missouri
- West Virginia
- Clemson
- Texas
- Auburn
- Wisconsin
- Kansas
- Texas Tech
- Virginia Tech
- Arizona State
- Brigham Young
- Tennessee
- Illinois
- Oregon
- South Florida
- Penn State
- Wake Forest
- Michigan
- Fresno State
I personally think that Georgia DOES deserve the #1 spot, but I’d argue that the #2 belongs to Ohio State, not USC. I also think that Illinois deserves to be higher on the list, and I think Michigan in the top 25 at all is wishful thinking. Then again, I don’t like to speculate too much before we at least see the opening weekend games.
Your thoughts?
I agree that Georgia deserves the #1 preseason spot – however, I am doubtful that they will end the season in that position –
Of course all preseason rankings are complete speculation -
