OKLAHOMA SHOULD BE NUMBER 1

THERE SHOULD ALSO BE 3 PAC-10 TEAMS IN THE TOP 10 USC TROJAN OREGON DUCKS CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS GO USC GO PAC-10

Oklahoma #1? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……they are the BIGGEST posers in history. How many times have they played for a National Championship and folded like a cheap camera. #1? What a joke.

How can Notre Dame be on this list. Seriously, you could place at least 30 other teams that have had far superior season the past 2 years…. Do the coaches have a deal with NBC that they have to put ND on their pre-season list because of NBCs TV deal? It is not right. There are so many teams that should be on this list, and ND is not one of them. DUMB.

Cal and Oregon in the top 10? Oregon will be lucky to be 2-2 after the first 4 games. Oregon State may be a little low at 25. Florida at #1 is legit, it’s their’s to lose.
