Preseason Poll out today

[CFBLore]

I don't put any stock in preseason polls but it's a nice milestone to have, it feels like the season is almost here and is a jumping off point for a lot of teams. I'm sure Boise and maybe BYU will be the only non power 5 schools to be in. It's out at 12pm eastern.

I like to use those polls to determine which teams might be good fade candidates. They can be useful to determine which teams might be "over-rated" by the betting public.

Quick analysis. In the top 6 the Big Ten and Big XII had 2 teams, SEC only 1, but they did have 8 in the top 25 and 10 in top 27. Boise is only G5 school. Georgia and Clemson look high to me. Surprisingly Ohio St didn't get all the first place votes. TCU and Bama each grabbed one.

when you factor in "other votes" Bama have 9 of the nation's top 27 preseason teams on the schedule this year :smoking:

First time Texas not on the list since 1998. They're probably looking for some rope.

3 Big 12 teams and OU is at 19. The Big 10 and ACC also has three. In the meantime, the two top conferences have 8 (SEC) and 6 (Pac 12) respectively, though Ole Miss is a total joke.
