    You know, if you read College Football News, you get Fox Sports' college football coverage about a week before they post it :)

    Only three SEC teams in the top 6. What a lame poll.

    Yeah, yeah. But Dandy Don is so campy...And he misspells sh!t and has questionable grammar - and he calls high school kids just to talk to them...what's not to love! I always have my salt handy, though...

    Here's the CBS poll (UGA #1, LSU #7) dated 15 Jan and the SI.com (UGA #1, LSU #6) poll dated 17 Jan.

    Does it annoy anyone else just a bit that Ohio State is #1 in most folks' preseason? I know they were young, but over the past two years, they (and their genius of a coach, Tressel) have been schooled by not one, but two, SEC teams in the BCSNCG.

    I don't think we're getting enough love, quite honestly.

    Tressel bribes them..he's connected ya' know, Youngstown, OH is a little Italy...and I agree...I'm not feeling the love either, but we tend to perform better when we need to "prove" it, so I guess thats our role in college football.....for the next thousand years! :nope:

    We have heard the same thing about Oh St, the past 4 years. " They are loaded and bringing back top notch talent"

    Well its time to stop with the pre season polls, especially if tOSU is #1.

    So Georgia is the team expected to embarrass Ohio State this season, eh?
