The Unbalanced Line Preliminary Top 25

I'm proud to announce that I will be participating in MGoBlog's football blogpoll. I'm signed up and in the system, and I will submit my first ballot later today or sometime tomorrow.

I've spent a little bit of time pondering my season opening rankings, and I have settled on a list ranking the top 25 on how I think teams will finish the season.

Chime in in the comments section if I missed something, or if you think I could have done better.

Here is a look at my early top 25.


1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. Nebraska
4. Ohio State
5. Virginia Tech
6. Oregon
7. Pitt
8. Florida
9. Oklahoma
10. Florida State
11. Boise State
12. Iowa
13. California
14. Penn State
15. Georgia
16. TCU
17. Houston
18. Auburn
19. North Carolina
20. Arkansas
21. West Virginia
22. Miami
23. Stanford
24. Oregon State
25. Utah

I also took long looks at UConn, Temple, UCLA, Boston College, LSU and Michigan

My only real regret was squeezing LSU out at the last minute in favor of Auburn. The way I see it, there's just not enough space in a top 25 for all of the SEC's talent.
