ZN's CFB Top 25 :: Preseason 2007
Here you go, the First Edition of the Zombie Nation Top 25 College Football Rankings:
Each week's rankings will be posted sometime Sundays.
1. USC - Is there anyone else who should absolutely be ranked ahead of them?
2. Oklahoma – Remember, it’s Bob Stoops
3. Louisville – Brohm is better than you think, scared?
4. LSU – Matt Flynn is overrated, but the rest of the Tigers aren’t
5. Wisconsin – O-Line, O-Line, O-Line, we eat you up
6. Florida St. – New coaches means no lil’Bowden, which means wins
7. West VA – I like Slaton and White. He can throw better than you think
8. Texas – I’m not sold on the ‘Horns, especially McCoy. Sweed’s overrated.
9. Michigan – I just can’t rank them higher. They’ll just blow it again
10. VA Tech – Emotions will carry the Hokies into the top-10
11. Florida – Tooooooo, much hype over Tebow
12. Ohio St. – Good team, not great. Offense won’t click. Tressel-ball time
13. UCLA – I like the Bruins, but they won’t beat USC again
14. Cal – Win a big game when it matters, then you’ll be higher
15. Penn State – I want them higher, Lions gotta work for it first
16. Nebraska – Big XII North champs, nothing more - again
17. Tennessee – Ten wins, no big whup. Ainge will go in the 1st round
18. Auburn – The lower the Tigers start, the better they do
19. Georgia – Matt Stafford it a year away yet
20. Rutgers – Again, another team that has to work for a higher ranking
21. Arkansas – No QB or WR to go to. RB’s will struggle. What?! Yes
22. Oregon – Shouldn’t have beaten Sooners, but did. Solid team
23. Texas A&M – Could flirt with top-10 this year. But won’t
24. Virginia – My left field pick. Just watch the Cav’s pull a big upset
25. Missouri – Lose tiebreaker to Huskers, then disappoint in bowl.
Others that could easily make the Top 25 by September:
Alabama - Hate Saban. Love the Tide. Run the ball well and you’re in
Ga. Tech – Offense will actually be better without CJ. Great defense
South Fla. – Remember the Louisville game two years ago
OK State – One of the best skill trios in the nation. Will scare Sooners
TCU – Will storm into the BCS by year’s end. Just not this early.

how in the hell can Paterno PASS Bowden yet finish 10 spots behind them in your poll, it makes no sense that PSU will win 4 more games (what is needed to pass Bowden) and finish lower. Either your poll is incredibly screwy or your comments are wrong.
Actually, fgk, you're exactly right, if these were my predictions for the season. However, Pre-season rankings are only to gauge a starting point for each team, not how they'll finish. Otherwise, we wouldn't have 18 weeks of polls. Thanks for the input.
