I might have Clemson a little higher. But other than that, given that it is mid-January, looks good to me.
Editor at Alligator Army.
I would have put UF at #1, because it’s January and, well, I’m a big fan!
In all kinds of weather...
Our Wyoming blog put Wyoming No. 1.
Not mad at that.

Tough Calls.
If I had to pick a team outside of your top ten to put up there, I think I’d go with Oklahoma State: they’ve shown before they can reload rather than rebuild. Doing it the other way (dropping a team out of the top ten) I think I’d chose FSU, because I simply don’t trust them to live up to hype. Then again, I think South Carolina will be better than Georgia next season, so what do I know? Fun stuff, man: keep up the good work!
Erras.
Other then having a pre-season poll at all?
Putting FSU in the top 10 is like jumping head first into a bear trap.
Oregon is losing key players. With Kelly’s system it can be hard to tell how much production is the players but I still expect them to take a step back.
Georgia? Really? Yes they have a kid gloved schedule but if we are ranking them on how good they are that seems… well, insane honestly.
I witnessed the Kentucky - Western Kentucky derpfest of '11 and survived to tell the tale
I’d put USC #1. The return of Matt Barkley and all those nasty receivers they have and not to mention the defense is returning most of their guys. Plus a PAC 12 schedule, they’re going to be a force to be reckoned with. That talent sure makes Lane Kiffin look good doesn’t it.

Ah I love pre-season rankings
They mean absolutely nothing.
If I die, I forgive you, if I recover, we shall see.
Yeah, FSU has not earned a top 10 slot. You should know this by now.
In all kinds of weather we'll all stick together
