8 out of 25 from the SEC.

SEC Rules! Everyone Else Drools!

[Clint N. Suhks]

I’m surprised Arkansas is so low.

Bright side Florida got some votes!

[big'ol_freeper]

Yeah! Just like last year! ...

..oh wait.

[BeadCounter]

It does look like at the top, a lot like last year’s final poll, that probably happens a lot.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Only 3 from the Big 10?

I like our odds...

[hinckley buzzard]

If you are lucky maybe Ohio State will send you their third string quarterback to shore up your feeble offenses.

[RayChuang88]

I would love to see an Ohio State versus Baylor or TCU in the final just to stick it to the SEC sgain. The SEC was a HUGE beneficiary of the old BCS system and the new four-team playoff system took them down a quite a bit. Now, if the playoff goes to eight teams, then the SEC may become prominent again.

[big'ol_freeper]

Just like last year...

OVERRATED

[Clint N. Suhks]

I never understand why Oregon is always up there, their schedule is usually so weak.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Only because the SEC is married to it’s sister (ESPN ).

[Clint N. Suhks]

SEC has been around for more than year last time I looked.

They still get the recruits.

[yarddog]

I believe Florida and Oklahoma State will both end up in the top 20.

[nhwingut]

Ohio St and Alabama will be in the championship - the two best college football coaches. Notre Dame ranked too high. Kelly overrated as a coach.

[sayfer bullets]

“I believe Florida and Oklahoma State will both end up in the top 20.”

I agree on both. My Cowboys never mind being underestimated...granted, 7-6 even with a strong finish may not warrant a top 25 preseason guess....unless of course you’re in the SEC.

[big'ol_freeper]

LOL, do not try to stack up historically. You lose.

[Clint N. Suhks]

When the SEC conference playoffs virtually rules out the major contenders you will see the weaker conferences represented in the playoffs. The system is unfair either way.

[Clint N. Suhks]

History isn’t a recruiting factor? LOL!

[yarddog]

Oklahoma State has a young QB who could be the next Heisman winner.

Of course he could also be a disappointment after only playing 3 games last year.

[big'ol_freeper]

Neither are preseaons polls.

OVERRATED as usual.

You’ll be crying in your wheaties AS USUAL.

[Will88]

The SEC was a HUGE beneficiary of the old BCS system and the new four-team playoff system took them down a quite a bit.

You sure are drawing a lot of sweeping conclusions based on one year of the new playoff system. And Ohio State was fortunate to play the fifth or sixth best team Saban has had in his eight years at Alabama.

Ohio State had plenty of opportunities under the BCS system, as did all schools.
