McMisanthrope's Top 25: 2010 Preseason

Generally, I find these preseason polls worthless, but I'll give this a whirl for RSFC's sake.

1. Alabama -- They're the champs, they're returning a lot of starters, etc. But no way they make it through the year undefeated again. Mostly, because they'll probably play Florida twice.
2. Florida -- See above.
3. tOSU -- Probably the best bet for an undefeated BCS team in 2010.
4. Texas -- They were a few plays away from the title last year, with a freshman QB.
5. OU -- A lot of talent here.
6. Virginia Tech -- Young, but well-coached and always talented.
7. TCU -- Best bet to go through regular season undefeated for a non-AQ school.
8. PSU -- Probably too high here, but whatever.
9. Oregon -- QB questions, but otherwise, pretty good.
10. LSU -- Overrated, as usual.
11. USC -- Could go 13-0 or 8-5. Depends when they lose the first one, if they do.
12. Clemson -- Overrated, as usual.
13. Miami-FL -- They'll lose to Ohio State, but maybe not again.
14. Boise State -- If they beat Virginia Tech early, they could go undefeated again.
15. Iowa -- Might give Buckeyes run for their money.
16. TTU -- Talent is there, but will they adapt?
17. Wisconsin -- Usually good for one blown game a year, if not two.
18. Arkansas -- Best dropback QB in the country. Will it be enough?
19. Georgia -- Usually overrated.
20. Tennessee -- They'll choke.
21. UNL -- Underrated.
22. Pitt -- Best of the weak Big East.
23. South Carolina -- Seems they always go 7-5, huh?
24. UNC -- Butch Davis is a good coach.
25. Mississippi -- Bound to be overrated like most SEC teams.
