2011 College Football Preseason Poll

With college football season almost upon us, it's time to take a look at where the top teams rank in the preseason polls.

• 1. Oklahoma: Not a bad team, but pretty obviously here because the coaches and reporters lack imagination
• 2. Alabama: Somebody called them up and asked if they're still a really good team, and they said yes
• 3. Oregon: LaMichael James a leading candidate to take Heisman Trophy, be forced to return it in five years
• 4. Florida State: The Seminoles have proven themselves worthy of a top-10 ranking by—wait, nobody has proven anything. The season hasn't even started. How does any of this matter in any way imaginable?
• 5. Boise State: Cue complaining in 3…2…1…
• 6. Florida: Several former backups who are stepping into starting roles have plenty of losing experience from last year to draw from and try to do the opposite of
• 7. Auburn: The Tigers have lost far too much talent this year to qualify for a bowl title they will later be stripped of

• 9. Wisconsin: Pound for pound, this team weighs the most pounds of any in NCAA football
• 10. Michigan: Actually not even in anyone's top 25, and also, fuck them
