Since we're talking about rankings, here's the one's that don't count, don't get
published, and are, according to various studies, the best to use because they
reflect actual opinion. The good old oddsmakers. Actually, if you put them
side by side, they look pretty similar. Just thought it was interesting.

Subject: [collegebcs] Updated Poll of Top 25s


In addition to the major websites, I decided to include major
preseason magazines. So far, four publications have been released:
Sporting News, Lindy's, Athlon, and Phil Steele. Adding their top
25s, thats brings us to a total of nine publications and sites
polled. One or two of the sites have updated their top 25s since
the end of spring training. Here's the verdict:

1 - USC (5)
[+1] 2 - Oklahoma (1)
[-1] 3 - Georgia (3)
[-1] 4 - LSU
5 - Miami FL
[+1] 6 - Florida St.
[-1] 7 - Texas
8 - Michigan
9 - Ohio St.
10 - Florida
[+5] 11 - West Virginia
[+7] 12 - California
[+1] 13 - Kansas St.
[-2] 14 - Tennessee
[-4] 15 - Auburn
[+2] 16 - Clemson
[-2] 17 - Virginia
[-5] 18 - Iowa
[+1] 19 - Utah
[NR] 20 - Missouri
[-4] 21 - Maryland
[+1] 22 - Wisconsin
[-2] T23- Minnesota
[-1] T23- Nebraska
25 - Louisville
