Wake up the echoes? - My too early College Football Poll

I know I'm making one, but I still think less than worthless (they're actually a hindrance to ranking teams well after the actual play games). But I'm ready for football season to start again, even though it won't for 6 weeks or so.

My Preseason Top 10:

1) Notre Dame - Somebody's got to be #1, so why not a good team from last year that is returning 17 starters, including Heisman front-runner Brady Quinn? Plus, they still have Touchdown Jesus:





2) Oklahoma - With a season of experience under QB Rhett Bomar, a healthy Adrian Peterson, and 7 starters back on defense, OU should be back in title contention this season. The offensive line is a question mark though.

3) Florida - A random SEC school steps it up every year, this season I'm going with the Gators.

4) Texas - No Vince Young, but they should still be good for 10 or 11 wins.

5) Miami (Fla) - They're due.

6) USC - They lost a ton of talent to the NFL, but this is a program that will reload, not rebuild.

7) Louisville - Someone is going to make some noise in the Big East, and I'm not buying that it's going to be West Virginia.

8) Ohio St. - Basically their whole defensive isn't returning, but if Tressel can loosen up the star-powered offensive they should be able to score with just about anybody.

9) Nebraska - My dark horse pick.

10) Florida St. - Mainly because they haven't given in to the P.C. crowd and dumped their mascot.
