How embarrassing it was last night comparing my current Top 25 to my preseason Top 25 from three months ago. Have a look below, and below it are some preseason polls from other publications:

And Sports Illustrated and Phil Steele:

Way Too Much Preseason Love: Florida, Texas

A Little Too Much Preseason Love: Iowa, Pittsburgh, Miami, Penn State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Georgia

Love these kind of posts, some self-imposed accountability towards how we rate the teams. Another reason why polls should not come out until about 5 weeks into the season!

Good call dude. I've even heard some suggest Week 8 for the first poll. That might be a little tardy. Week 5 sounds about right and that idea should get some consideration.
