They lose a lot of starters and have a tough start to their schedule... I don't think they're bad, just not top 25.

See, by counting some polls as "too crazy" you are giving in to preseason bias. My post week 1 poll was much closer to the final rankings than my preseason poll, and would've come closer each week, as teams actually proved something on the field. If the person compiling the results can throw out votes he doesn't think are reasonable, then it isn't really a poll.

Dude you honestly believe Nebraska is the best team in the nation?

Not to mention Tennessee-Martin isn't even FBS.

It's not preseason bias at all. Your poll is you throwing a bunch on non BCS schools up there. I mean come on ECU is not the second best team in the nation and Duke is def not even close to sniffing the top 25.

We already had 50 schools, your poll alone would've bumped it up to 70. That's just ridiculous man!

BUMP.

Sending you my teams.
