After seeing the complaints about preseason polls, I got the idea to see how fellow NCAAbbs'ers can do. I'm interested in seeing who can create the most accurate Top 25 Preseason poll. I have a couple problems though.
1. Which poll should I use to compare to the preseason polls? Should I use the final BCS poll, the final Coaches' poll, the final Coaches' poll BEFORE the bowl games are played...not sure which one to use.
2. How should I rank the system? I was thinking of awarding one point for every team correctly predicted to finish in the Top 25, and one point for every team that is correctly predicted in its exact spot. But should I award more points for getting any of the Top 10 teams right? The Top 2 teams right?

Your thoughts would be appreciated :)

I'll give you my preseason Top 25 and you can use it. I'm an expert in my own mind.
