I am an USC fan, I think they are not a clear number 1 by any means. Auburn is maybe a tick above SC and OU right now. Playoff damnit!!!!!!

That was Trev Alberts--you can count on him to say something controversial. While I think he's right, I think there needs to be a preseason poll so that fans can look at who's predicted to be good at the beginning of the year. We can't do our own research on everybody, so it's really hard for us to know what games to be watching. Maybe a preseason poll, then take the next 3 weeks off, and then take the first real poll after week 4 (Auburn would have beaten LSU by then).
