Considered/Keeping in Mind (no particular order): Tennessee, Miami (FL), South Carolina, Missouri, Kent St. (no, not really), Oregon, Arkansas, Oregon St., BYU, Alabama.
The poll is due by 10 am tomorrow. Go ahead and explain with some logic why I’m an idiot (for this) and I still have time to revise. Hopefully in the future, the draft ballot will be up sooner for more debate.
If Glennon is the strength of the VT offense, then this is like being forced to hitch your wagon to the Bulgarian economy as the strongest horse in the Southeastern European market.”
And PSU will get exposed eventually. Less than 50 yds rushing with starting RB against the vaunted defense of…who? Good luck. For now, they beat Cupcake U…but I’m rooting for ND this weekend (which is totally confusing to me).
Why did you drop Tenn out of the top 25? I think they’ll be very good this year, they just went on the road and got beat by a better Cal team.
VaTech is horrendous on offense, as you guys have pointed out, and I cannot imagine they will score more than 6 points against LSU. They won’t make it to the ACC championship game, much less finish out in the top 10.
Also, I think there’s a good shot that Spurrier takes the game in Athens, so UGA is probably too high.
