No right or wrong answers, guys.  All-time results, great.  Recency bias?  Okay.

i don't have a problem with it. it's subjective by nature anyway, so it's not wrong anyway you slice it.

Putting VA Tech first in this trio is an example of a way that it could be wrong.

I prefer variability in preseason polls.  If they're going to exist, then 60 votes of the herd mentality 'general consensus' is pretty stupid.  The UF beat guy has Okie State 2nd.  He'll probably be wrong, but this is the preseason AP poll....it's meaningless now.

Me too, but it's all good.  There's been a few surprises imo.  It's nice to just steward this and observe the diversity.

You can't be wrong.  Post your initial impression without doing any research (IMHO).  I looked into some stuff after I posted and realized my memory was incorrect, which is fine.
Tennessee has more conference championships than any team in the SEC not named Bama.  UGA is nipping at their heels in third.
