If I had a vote....

Week one of college football is in the books and it is time to see what the voters thought. I have decided to post my vote (if I had one) for the Top 25. I will not be a victim of the first poll like so many voters will. I personally feel that there shouldn't be any rankings until Week 5. For example, if there was no preseason poll then BYU would be ranked ahead of Oklahoma this week. But since Oklahoma started at 3 and BYU at 20, then Oklahoma will probably still be ranked ahead of BYU today even though they just beat them. I also will not be afraid to move teams up and down based on performance and not on wins. For example, Oregon doesn't fall out of the rankings based on a loss at Boise State, but Iowa gets killed in my poll for beating 1AA Northern Iowa at home by 1 point. Don't worry if your team is a little low, every week they have an opportunity to move up. Time to pull the curtain back and unveil my vote.

1. Florida
2. USC
3. Alabama
4. Texas (gave up 20 points to LA-Monroe moves them down)
5. Oklahoma St
6. CAL
7. Penn St
8. BYU (big win skyrockets them up, but going to be hard to stay this high)
9. Ohio St
10. Boise St
11. Oklahoma
12. Ole Miss
13. Virginia Tech
14. LSU (struggled vs 0-12 Washington)
15. Cincinnati (defending Big East Champs destroyed Rutgers)
16. TCU
17. Utah
18. Miami (if offense plays this well, ACC crown could be in future)
19. Oregon (looked bad, but give them credit for playing at Boise St)
20. Oregon St
21. Georgia Tech
22. Georgia
23. Notre Dame
24. Missouri
25. Nebraska

There you go. These rankings will be very fluid from week to week. I cant wait to see where you disagree.
