I've got a couple of big bones to pick with your top 25, you left out some quality ACC schools
.
Sure you've FSU and UVA, but what about NC State... or did you miss the Gator Bowl? Not only did the Wolfpack put a big hurtin' on ND, but senior QB Philip Rivers is back and is most likely a preseason top five for the Heisman.
Also, what about Maryland? They took to it Tennesee (one of your top 15 SEC teams) in the Peach Bowl last year, to the tune of 30-3. The Fridge beat them like a drum!
I'm glad you've got UVA in there... but number 8? They might be there towards the end of the year, but definitely not preseason though.
I'm not saying the ACC is the greatest thing since sliced bread (although in a couple years we will be
), but I'm just poiting out the obvious bias in your poll. Although NC State is an obvious top 15 (probably top 10) and Maryland is a top 20 team and you left them both out to include teams like Miss State?
Oh and with regards to the SEC being the toughest and gritiest conference.... add on sleaziest and you'd probably be half right
Go Jackets! (We get to beat up on Auburn, one of you top SEC teams, first part of the season)
