Ok, we are well into the College Football season, so, I’ve been keeping track of my Top 25 teams & all preseason bias is out of my rankings, so, no pre-conceived notions influence these rankings..
Before I show you these rankings, I want everybody to understand that these are not meant to predict anything.. These are my view of what teams have done thus far given their schedule.. I take many intangibles into account as well, for example: UGA’s injuries.. Also, I give non-BCS teams credit for what they do.. I firmly believe that Utah could bust the BCS this year & win, as well as Boise State.. I will always rank LSU ahead of Ohio State, I will also rank most other top SEC schools ahead of Ohio State, as well.. Why? Because just being Ohio State isn’t good enough, just because you come in 2nd in the Big Ten doesn’t make you all that wonderful in my eyes.. The Big Ten should have their conference name changed to the Small Compared To The SEC 2.. No, I’m not one of those SEC elitist, I’m just a realist.. The realization of the matter is that the Big Ten Champion over the past fews years hasn’t proven that they can beat a top SEC team.. Until they prove that they can, they are viewed just like a WAC team to most others.. Yes, I believe Utah or Boise State could lay the smack down on Ohio State this year.. I believe Boise State could hang in there with Penn State..
Finally.. James Madison is every bit as worthy of a Top 25 ranking as Maryland is!!! No? Ok, MAYBE not..
