First Coaches Poll Surfaces

The first USA Today Coaches' Poll was released today:

1) Georgia: As it should be the Dawgs take the top spot. There is too much upside for this team not to be #1.

2) USC: They have so much talent its almost unfair. They lose a Heisman candidate QB. Thats OK replace him with super recruit, Mark Sanchez.

3) Ohio State: They don't belong here. The Big Ten has work to do.

4) Oklahoma: Other than Pete Carroll, Bob Stoops is the best coach in college football. Sam Bradford is the key to this season. If he plays like the Heisman candidate that he is, the Sooners could go all the way.

5) Florida: Tim Tebow is not the best player of our generation but he is a damn good.

6) LSU: Les Miles has to worry about the void left by Perrilloux.

7) Missouri: Chase Daniels has the "it" factor and could bring his team to the promised land.

8) West Virginia: Noel Devine could produce Reggie Bush-like highlights this year. His high school video is one of the all time greats.

9) Clemson: They just don't seem like the real deal. Cullen Harper is considered by many to be the most underrated QB in the NCAA. Well see if thats true or not.

10) Texas: I still hate Vince Young.

11) Auburn: If they can get this high scoring offense to work they are going to be a dangerous team in a dangerous conference.

12) Wisconsin: Travis Beckum is the best TE in the country and gives Wisconsin a great red-zone target.

13) Kansas: They desperately want to prove that last year was no fluke.

14) Texas Tech: Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree can take this team into the upper echelon of college football.

15) Virginia Tech: There is a void left by recent dismissed RB Brandon Ore.

16) Arizona State: Coach Dennis Erickson is looking to continue last year's success. He will need QB Rudy Carpenter, who is recovering from surgery to be on top of his game.

17) Bingham Young: Their star QB, Max Hall, has everyone talking about BYU as a possible BCS buster.

18) Tennessee: Safety Eric Berry was the best player on the team last year as a true freshman. There is talk he will play some offense this year.

19) Illinois: They have to prove they belong after getting demolished by USC in the Rose Bowl. Losing Mendenhall will prove to be a big loss.

20) Oregon: This team was lacking with Dixon on the bench. They are going to need a spark at QB to stay in the top 25.

21) South Florida: They reached #2 last year but it was too soon for this young team. They have a chance to get themselves back into that position this year.

22) Penn State: Joe Pa is an old old man

23) Wake Forest: This is a interesting team. They lose a lot without Kenneth Moore but Josh Adams might be able to fill the big play void. This team could sneak up and win the ACC again if no one is careful.

24) Michigan: Who knows what to expect from this team. Rich Rodriquez doesn't have the QB he needs yet to run his offense. With all the off field distractions don't be surprised if this team losses a few at the start.

25) Fresno State: This is a damn good team that has talent and experience, a deadly combo. They take on Wisconsin at home early in the year.
