(9 votes, average: 3.56 out of 5)
Loading ...For the third year in a row I’ll be participating in the CollegeRivals.org weekly Fan Poll (will be updated tomorrow at 1PM CT). Every week I will publish my weekly ballot here on the blog. The first week is always tough to judge, but here’s my ballot for this week.
Weekly Top 25 Ballot - 9/2/08 |
||
| Team | Comments | |
| 1. | Southern Cal Trojans |
USC looked flat out dominant in dismantling Virginia - they looked scary good. |
| 2. | Georgia Bulldogs |
Hard to tell how good Georgia is yet against a powerhouse like Georgia Southern. |
| 3. | Ohio State Buckeyes |
OSU won’t be here much longer, they were going to get blown out by USC even with a healthy Chris Wells |
| 4. | LSU Tigers |
LSU took care of business and looks like they have a nice power running game. |
| 5. | Oklahoma Sooners |
Really Oklahoma? You had to give up 2 points? |
| 6. | Florida Gators |
Florida looked pretty average for a quarter before blowing out Hawaii. Still not sold on their running game. |
| 7. | Missouri Tigers |
Impressive win over Illinois? I’m not so sure. They still don’t have a defense. |
| 8. | Auburn Tigers |
Hard to tell much playing against Louisiana-Monroe. |
| 9. | Texas Longhorns |
It wasn’t wise for Florida Atlantic to talk smack on Texas. |
| 10. | West Virginia Mountaineers |
Pat White looks like a better passer, if he can do that consistent, WVU could be very tough. |
| 11. | Alabama Crimson Tide |
Wow. Did not see them destroying Clemson like they did. Very impressed. That said, watch out for the let down this weekend against Tulane. |
| 12. | Kansas Jayhawks |
Don’t think they’ll be here too long. |
| 13. | Texas Tech Red Raiders |
They can score points, can they stop people this year though? |
| 14. | Wisconsin Badgers |
Struggled a little bit with Akron. Wisconsin won’t return from Fresno undefeated in two weeks. |
| 15. | Arizona State Sun Devils |
Looks like this weekend’s game against Stanford won’t be a gimme. |
| 16. | South Florida Bulls |
In a weak Big East, the Bulls could be BCS bound this year. |
| 17. | Utah Utes |
Utah could have made a statement against Michigan. Instead they went into a shell and held on for dear life as they almost handed it over in the end. |
| 18. | Fresno State Bulldogs |
Nice win for Fresno against Rutgers. Their sophomore RB Matthews looks very good. Their trip to UCLA looks a lot tougher now than it did yesterday. |
| 19. | BYU Cougars |
The other top mid-majors started their seasons off with tougher games so I have BYU behind them for this week. |
| 20. | Oregon Ducks |
Stop me if you heard this before, Oregon dominated a Willingham coached team after the game was close at half time. |
| 21. | Cal Bears |
Very nice win over Michigan State. Cal flashed a pretty good ground game. |
| 22. | South Carolina Gamecocks |
Considering I picked NC State to beat South Carolina in the weekly picks on the podcast, it’s safe to say I’m a little impressed. |
| 23. | UCLA Bruins |
Great win by UCLA over Tennessee. Craft looked terrible in the first half but rebounded nicely. Truly great coaching job by Slick Rick and staff. |
| 24. | Penn State Nittany Lions |
Coastal Carolina? Color me impressed. Way to run it up too Joe Pa. Stay classy Happy Valley. |
| 25. | Kentucky Wildcats |
Surprised at how good Kentucky’s defense looked in completely shutting down Louisville. |

USC looked really good, however, it will be difficult for the Sanchez to get through the season with a leg brace. He will not be very mobile. Hmm….Blizing defenses?
What do you think?
