The Rankings Are Out…..
And It Looks Stormy.
By: Popeye

The Hurricanes have remained on top in both major polls released this month. The AP poll, released this past weekend, has Miami ahead of #2 OU by a surprisingly small 14 points. Of course, I think the AP poll is always a bullshit poll but here’s how the three polls’ top 5 stack up with each other (counting mine):

Coaches AP Popeye
Miami Miami Miami
Texas Oklahoma Texas
Oklahoma Florida State Oklahoma
Florida State Texas Florida
Tennessee Tennessee Tennessee
Colorado Florida Georgia
Florida Colorado Florida State
Nebraska Georgia Nebraska
Washington Washington Colorado
Michigan Nebraska Michigan

As you can see, the AP don’t have a clue. I mean come on….Florida State 3?!?! Above both UTs, that’s just ridiculous. So, taking all three into account I give you Popeye’s preseason BCS…

Conference Predictions- Part 1

ACC

Look for Florida State to storm back into the hearts of football fans with a return to glory. Now, don’t get caught up in all the bullshit that they’ll be in Tempe, but they will win the ACC by a game or two. The wild card in this conference will be North Carolina. They’re hard to predict. Will they be like they were early last year at 0-3 or will they continue the strong play with which they closed last year?

Big XII

Finally, finally!! Texas brings it home in stunning fashion. After tearing through a weak non conference schedule, the boys of Austin put on a show by winning the big games like OU and Nebraska.

I think the sleeper of the conference is K State. I see them as out of the spotlight and they could sneak up on an up for grabs north division. The most appealing thing about this year will be watching those fucking aggies lose time and time again at home.

Big East

Miami will once again be the toast of this weak, and I mean weak, conference. The south beach thugs will sweep through their schedule only to lose in the championship game to……well check back next week for my opinion.

There you have it. In summary, Miami and Texas will put on shows and the AP writers are idiots. Be sure to check back next week for the remaining conference breakdowns and bowl predictions.
