More Dirty Dozen and More Bottom 5

The Dirty Dozen Returns...(sounds like a movie sequel)

As much as I hate preseason polls I guess we are obligated to do one. So here goes.

1. Southern Cal (Bet you thought I was gonna say something else there)
2. Ohio State (They still can't beat the best of the SEC, but they can start here)
3. Georgia (Really good, really deep, really tough schedule)
4. Oklahoma (Very good, easy schedule, don't need to say much else)
5. Florida (Not sure they will stay here, but good on paper)
6. LSU (Again QB questions, but they won't slip up against App. State)
7. Missouri (They play in the 12, which means they'll have a good record, but)
8. Texas (Surprise. Someone different? Better than you think and in the 12)
9. Clemson (As long as they can beat 'Bama, they'll be fine, the ACC sucks this year)
10. Auburn (They are always good, rebuilding a bit, but if it clicks, look out)
11. Texas Tech (At least until they play someone with a good "D")
12. Georgia Southern (Because the alma mater needs love before facing UGA)

If anyone cares, I don't buy in to West Virginia and I'm not so sure Kansas would qualify here either. Brother Jon and Brother Wilkie need to stop dreaming about App State. They aren't going to do what they did last year...deal with it.

Bottom 5

5. Syracuse. Can you say bye-bye Greg Robinson? At least he won't have to deal with the winters anymore.
4. USL-Lafayette. I just want to see if the wife is reading the blog.
3. Dukie. Good luck David Cutcliffe, you are going to need it. You will turn these guys around eventually, just not this year.
2. Minnesota. Just because they play in the 10 (There is no "Big" in the 10 right now)
1. Notre Dame. Because they are. If Karma really works, then this year will be worse than last year.

There you have it. Undoubtedly this will change, but since we have to do a preseason, then here is a preseason.
