CollegeFootballNews.com has gone way out on a limb to start projecting bowl bids — and I mean all of the bowl bids — now (hat tip to Chris for the e-mail). I guess, what’s the fun of speculation if you don’t go really far out. They put Pitt in the Sugar Bowl against Tennessee. This means, as of July, they have expectations for Pitt to win the Big East over Louisville.

While on the subject of the BCS, they have a new poll put together by Harris Interactive.

Called the Harris Interactive College Football Poll, it will rank the top 25 teams on a weekly basis, starting Sept. 25, the BCS said Monday. Plans call for 114 voters.

The BCS has said it wanted to eliminate preseason polls, which some believe give highly touted teams an unfair headstart in the rankings.

The poll doesn’t actually start coming out until a month or so after the season begins.

I guess now would be a good time to state that I have been a long-time participant in Harris Interactive polls. I now have enough points to get the first season of the Simpsons on DVD (or better yet, Dawson’s Creek). Should tell everyone, all they need to know about the poll.

In case you missed it over the weekend, there was another entertaining recruiting update Q&A from Rob Lichtenfels at PantherReport.
