So the AP top 25 poll came out today. There’s been a lot of discussion about whether these polls should come in October, as they create an unfair advantage for the teams near the top.

Texas A&M didn’t join the SEC this weekend, but the talks of expansion across the country are hardly over. There are rumors that the Aggies could join the SEC within 21 days, a year or not at all. To my personal dismay the ACC is often seen as a conference that will eventually get picked …

We’ve gone through the ACC’s top players, we’ve commented on the summer happenings, now it’s prediction time starting with the ACC Coastal Division. Frankly I would be stunned if Virginia Tech doesn’t roll through this division. The combination of easy schedule, plus the issues of the rest contenders makes this division the Hokies to lose. …
