USA Today/Coaches Poll

Not the AP Poll, but both polls are somewhat similar with the AP having most of August to factor in injuries, arrests, suspensions, Penn State transfers and shrapnel wounds from Charlie Weis' exploding gut.

  1. Florida State set to break hearts again this year. And, excuse me, but Wisconsin at #11? After Monte the Ball got his head cracked open and his face pushed in? BRFLer, PLEASE. I just don't see it. TOSU not in the top 25? Hmmmmm. Guess their bowl game is vs. scUM in November. Guess they won't be up for that game.
    Thanks for the poll, DPoll.
