BLOGPOLL: PRESEASON BALLOT #2

Official, but comments still are welcomed.

First, here's a look at my ballot from last week:

Rank	Team	Comment
1	Southern Cal	Best talent. Probably the best coaching. Best depth.
2	Michigan	Henne/Hart/Manningham have plenty of talent, experience
3	LSU	Despite heavy losses, Saban left program stocked, and Miles just has to avoid screwing it up.
4	West Virginia	White and Slaton are perfect fits for speed-based spread offense.
5	Wisconsin	Badgers return stout defense, plenty of offensive skill
6	Florida	Defending champs plug Tebow in as full-time QB.
7	Oklahoma	Peterson's injury last year gave OU glimpse of 2007 starter Allen Patrick.
8	Virginia Tech	Hokies need more consistent QB play, but are otherwise legitimate title threat.
9	Nebraska	Callahan quietly re-building Nebraska into monster it once was.
10	Louisville	Most significant coaching transition in major college football, but Brian Brohm will make sure everything is okay.
11	Texas A&M	Should be among best running attacks in the nation.
12	Arkansas	McFadden could do even more this season, but offseason controversy will continue to swirl.
13	Ohio State	Lost a ton, but Chris Wells could be among best RBs in the country.
14	Texas	QB Colt McCoy has new faces on line, and the running game will be the key.
15	California	Despite loss of Marshawn Lynch, Bears poised to take a shot at USC.
16	Oregon	Forgotten team in Pac 10 gets early-season test at Michigan.
17	Boise State	Last year's Cinderella lost its leader, returns star Ian Johnson, and must hold off Hawai'i.
18	Auburn	Defense should be a monster again.
19	Florida State	Jimbo Fisher > Jeff Bowden
20	South Florida	May be this year's version of Rutgers, minus the decades of crappy football.
21	Hawaii	Colt Brennan didn't come back to lead a 7-5 team.
22	Penn State	One of the best WR groups in the nation, but mediocre QB play could slow them down.
23	Missouri	Will battle Nebraska for Big 12 North supremacy and pride.
24	Rutgers	It will be very tough to build off last year's storybook run.
25	TCU	Mountain West kings should reign again.

We had a roundtable this week, and thanks to some of the great bloggers in the poll, it's time to make a few changes. What I have decided on for this week is a ballot that looks like this:

Rank	Team	Delta
1	Southern Cal	--

24	Miami (Florida)	2
25	Hawai'i	4

Dropped Out: Penn State (#22).

As you can see, I like the argument made for Florida State, and I moved them up as a result. I am similarly concerned about Hawai'i, and I'm shocked that I omitted Miami (FL) the first time around. That's fixed, too. Otherwise, I simply made some cosmetic changes.
