One, two, three, four, five!
Well, we’ve got 1 full weekend of college football in the books. And 3 of the 4 HLS pollsters have submitted ballots. If the 4th pulls one together, this may change a bit, but I suspect this is a pretty set order.
- Southern Cal
- WVU
- Florida
- Texas
- LSU
- Cal
- Oklahoma
- UCLA
- Georgia
- Wisconsin
- Ohio State
- Penn State
- Rutgers
- Georgia Tech
- Virginia Tech
- Louisville
- Auburn
- Boston Freaking College
- TCU
- Clemson
- Arkansas
- Oregon State
- Texas A&M
- Tennessee
- Nebraska
Also receiving votes: Oklahoma State, South Carolina, Boise State, Oregon, Miami, Hawaii, and, somehow, Michigan.
Notes: Yeah, SoCal didn’t actually look like the best team ever, ever, ever, but they didn’t give any reason to knock them either. VaTech, however, didn’t exactly look like they were going to be world beaters against ECU. We were apparently all very impressed with Georgia Tech last week. I wonder why. Nebraska makes an appearance in the poll. Maybe they’re what bounced up when Michigan eventually splattered all over the floor after their free-fall out of our and just about everyone else’s top 25s. Clemson also jumps into our T25. They may be that good, or FSU may be that bad. We’re not sure. What we do know is that they’ve got C.J. Spiller, and nobody else does. Also, none of us voted for ND. Hey, we’re “Her Loyal Sons,” but this is the HLS Totally Non-Homer Poll. Hopefully, come next week, we can feel less guilty about our poll.

Why is the title still include the word Preseason? Cut and paste is not your friend MQ.
And I had Ga. Tech as #8 in my pre-season poll, so I expected them to be solid from the get-go. They’ll win their league unless Va. Tech has a heck of a game (and even then they’ll likely lose) and G Tech will be in a top-tier bowl. You watch. That was a bad loss, but to a good team.
Dag nabbit.
For the record, I didn’t cut and paste. I auto-completed.
And you did always have GaTech up there. Way to go, Cassandra.
I’ll stand behind keeping Michigan on the ballot. I assume we’re supposed to be projecting how we think the team will eventually end up when the dust clears on the season. I say they’ll finish in the top 25, no matter how bad the loss Saturday was.
