Surprised OSU is up at #2. I thought top 10 for sure but probably not #2.

The Big Ten with 4 in the top 10, Nice! If any of you Get on eSECpn you would think the SEC is loaded from top to bottom. 8 of 10 stories are talking about the SEC with other conferences sprinkled in.

4 BIG TEN TEAMS IN THE TOP 10 LOOKS IMPRESSIVE. BUT THIS YEAR WE HAVE TO PROVE IT COME BOWL TIME. THE EGG OHIO STATE LAID LAST YEAR WITH CLEMSON BETTER BE A WAKE UP CALL.GRANTED CLEMSON WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BUT JUST REMEMBER WE HAD 43 FROSH, NOT MAKING ANY EXCUSES FOR THEM. THEY LOOKED DEPLORABLE. BUT IN DIRECT CONTRAST MICHIGAN HAD 43 SENIORS THAT GRADUATED. SO BIG TEN TEAMS ARE GONNA HAVE TO JACK SOME JAWS IN OUT OF CONFERENCE PLAY IN THESE HUGE MATCHUPS, AND WIN BOWL GAMES MORE.AND I FEEL THE BIG TEN HAS AS TALENTED AND PROVEN COACHES I FEEL AS WELL AS ANYBODY ELSE CONFERENCE WISE.


IN THE LONG GRASS BY THE WATER, SO WATCH YOUR STEP. AND LET'S GO IRONTON FIGHTING TIGERS, OHIO STATE BUCKEYES AND THE CINCINNATI BENGALS

OSU was a playoff team last year and returns more starters that they did before the 2016 season, so its not a surprise for them to be #2. Their recent incoming recruiting class which are now freshmans was I believe the #1 class.

Not surprised with Bama at #1. Whoever wins the big game between Bama and FSU will have a red carpet laid in front of them. The same can be said for *ichigan vs Florida. Several good non conference games to start the season with that will have big playoff implications down the road.

I am surprised to see:

Tennessee, LSU, Auburn and Georgia ranked so high. Tennessee was so overrated last year.

Also- I thought Louisville would be ranked higher with Lamar Jackson leading them again this year and losing to Clemson (at Clemson) in the final minutes of that game. I would easily have them as a top 10 team.

As with any early season top 25, its nothing more than a popularity contest for most of these teams.

I do not like my Tide being ranked #1 and personally think that is too high. IMO, no poll should come out until at least week 4.
