blogpoll – Week 1 (9.3.08)

Posted by on September 3rd, 2008 under Football

MGOBLOG has this week’s blogpoll up here.

A few notes:

    The Barkers have the Horns lower than most others who vote (#8 @ mgoblog).
    Everybody is bullish on Southern Cal. Any news on Beanie Wells?
    People are having a hard time getting a read on Texas Tech and Bama.

    A couple of things:

    – I think Alabama is pretty damn good, and we will find that out as the season goes along. It’s not nothing to hold Clemson to ZERO yards rushing, no matter how bad one thinks Clemson is. Something good is definitely going on here.

    – I couldn’t begin to tell you at this point whether Tech will finish 42nd in the nation or 2nd in the nation, but I think that’s about the range of potential for them. I’m not convinced their defense was really all that much better the 2nd half of last season after O’Neill, or McNeill, or whatever the guy’s name is took over as DC – after all, we put up 59 on them in November – but if it really is all it’s cracked up to be, then they probably belong in the Top 10. If it’s the same old Tech defense, then they might belong in the Top 25, maybe. We’ll see.

    I ranked Tech at #15 this week up from #17, I believe. That was mainly based on other teams I had ahead of them looking shitty, namely Clemson and Arizona State.

    Clemson was wildly overrated already, but give 8 carries to the two best players in the ACC and you’ll look even worse.

    I think very highly of Saban but Alabama is still a couple shady recruiting classes away frop being considered elite, IMO.

    Tech also flies the I’ll-believe-it-when-I-see-it flag. I’m still not sure why they are supposed to be better now than they are any other year. That being said, they always stink up the joint against some patsy so I also wouldn’t worry about them.

    We will have better handle on Tech after this. They are on the road to a Nevada team that has a very good, balanced offense.
