Football Friday: One week...

This was suppose to be posted on Friday...oops

I thought since it was almost that time of year again that I should get this Friday post going again!  Now that the Olympics are over, I can get back to my fall ritual of obsessing over college football.  One week from yesterday college football kicks off and it’s bound to be a great season.  Teams are back at practice and people are making predictions about how teams will do and where they stand.  College Football Live is all over ESPN as well as conference previews.

The AP poll came out this week and there were a couple interesting things.  First, Michigan got a first place vote.  I’m happy to receive a first place vote but I really don’t think we deserve it and I REALLY don’t want to be jinxed by something like that.  Pre-season polls really don’t mean much, but I think Michigan is almost always over ranked and it’s just annoying to hear every year how bad we actually are.  Stop ranking us so high then!  I really hate to see USC at the top and I’m not even sure they deserve it, they will screw up a stupid game (or two!) sometime this fall.  I think Florida State is way to high, have they really done anything to earn that spot?  I hope over the season to see SEC teams drop and more Big Ten and Big XII school move up, since I think they are more deserving.  Below are the AP pre season rankings:

1	USC (25)
2	Alabama (17)
3	LSU (16)
4	Oklahoma (1)
5	Oregon
6	Georgia
7	Florida State
8	Michigan (1)
9	South Carolina
10	Arkansas
11	West Virginia
12	Wisconsin
13	Michigan State
14	Clemson
15	Texas
16	Virginia Tech
17	Nebraska
18	Ohio State
19	Oklahoma State
20	TCU
21	Stanford
22	Kansas State
23	Florida
24	Boise State
25	Louisville

Next week I’ll be previewing the games of the opening weekend.  And probably talking about how excited I am to be heading to Dallas to see Michigan play Bama, Go Blue!!
