As I post this, the WVU and Texas A&M games are still going but I expect them both to finish with wins so it really doesn't change much.
Last weeks pre-season poll is here.
I am not going to do individual write ups on the teams this week because for the most part, everyone was clubbing baby seals to open up the season, so it really isn't a great indicator as just how good some teams are.
So, here is the poll...

SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
The biggest hit of course is Oregon with their loss to LSU.
LSU jumps to #1 because they beat a top 5 opponent.
That is the same reason I moved Boise St. up as well, they beat a major BCS opponent on the road. Everyone else moves up or down a spot here or there...except for TCU which took a big drop because of their loss to Baylor.
Notre Dame is an enigma. They lose at home against a pretty USF team. I want to drop them out of the poll but not sure who to replace them with as it is still early.
Thoughts on ND?
Where am I wrong otherwise?
Final ballot needs to be in by Tuesday at 9am.
