(Just so you know, despite what Fearless might believe about his own unique set of skills, the pot-stirring goes both ways, C0dubb ;) )

The other day I saw a composite preseason ranking across 25-30 polls (athlon, SI, coaches, yadda, yadda). I wish I had saved it to share here, because now I'm struggling to summon it by google. Of course ... it wasn't much more revelatory than the constituent polls we've already pasted here. Just neat to see the average is all.

Alabama still has the most talented roster, as they have for going on 8 years or so now.  The TOTAL herd mentality of the preseason rankings is so lame.  If you're going to get nuts with even ONE poll in a season, shouldn't it be this one?  If you happen to think a consensus 4-8 team is going to go 8-4, put them 15th, shit.  



I've seen Florida anywhere from 5th to 10th......not a wide range.  I'd prefer 3rd to 17th or something, because that would at least include some diversity of thought.

Here's 18 rankings, mostly by obscure computer polls.  Lots of diversity of opinion, though.  It'd be good to compare these ranked by mean and compare them to the magazine mean rankings.

A computer poll preseason is bizarre to me.  What are the inputs?  Number of starters returning?

I guess they could take last year's finish and do something with starters returning, but or number of starts returning at each position, or something.

Quija board?

if there's a new coaching staff does the computer factor the previous season at the other school?
