Honestly, I think Pre-Season Polls are ghey. Take this Poll as a prime example.

My team is the Hurricanes, but they're ranked too high. The OL is depleted and they have a new starting QB. Florida is just ranked WAY too high in my opinion. They have a first year coach with new coaching staff and should be around 16th in the country. Louisville is ranked too low. Michigan and Tennessee are ranked too high. Iowa is ranked too low.

i've always thought that they should just use the last poll from the previous season. if a team really sucks and is ranked high, or vice-versa, eventually it would take care of itself as the season goes by. overated teams would lose some games, and underated teams would be able to win tough games.
