Coaches Poll released

The Coaches Poll came out on Thursday with LSU checking in at #13.  The Coaches Poll is the MOST important feature of this last BCS Title race.  So no matter how little we may think of the integrity of the rankings, ultimately the 63 coaches that vote will determine the National Title game.

5 overrated teams:

6. Texas A&M
9. Louisville
11. Notre Dame
14. Oklahoma State
20. TCU

5 underrated teams:

5. Georgia
12. Florida State
13. LSU
17. Michigan
NR. Kansas State

Texas A&M and Johnny Football will find it very difficult to match last season’s success.  #6 is just too high in my opinion.  I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid on the Ville and I think the Big 12 (OSU & TCU) as a whole is a bit of a slump relative to years past.   Notre Dame was very fortunate in a number of games last season and was utterly destroyed by Alabama in the title game.  With 6 or 7 “toss up” games on the schedule, look for a 3-4 loss season.

Georgia, FSU, LSU and Michigan have been recruiting lights out for the last few years; expect all of these teams to do very well.  KSU won the Big 12 last season, how can they not even be in the Top 25 when we KNOW what a great coach Bill Snyder is?
