So if you’re reading this, then you’ve likely also read my Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25 for 2012. And let me preemptively say, folks: No, I’m not crazy.

Yes, I have Boise State in the Top 10.

Yes, I have Michigan ranked in the Top 5.

And yes, I have Penn State ranked No. 25.

Now, I’m pretty sure I’m right about all of that. But what do you think?

Think I’m right? Think I’m nuts? Well, here’s your chance to tell me where I’m wrong—and share your Top 10 for 2012. Give Your Take!

Hmmph!

"The Gamecocks may never be a true SEC power under Spurrier (or anybody else, for that matter)"...and from what deep recess did you manage to pull this opinion?

My suggestion pleases all ... always

LSU, USC, Alabama, Oregon, West VA. Playoff system? = simple - SIX TEAMS (Top 5 teams from major conferences ... with no more than 2 teams from any one conference ... PLUS 1 X independent/ non-major inclusion = First (of 3) rounds #1 vs. #2 ... #3 vs. #6 ... #4 vs. #5. The winners of #s 3- 6 play each other in the Second Round. The winners of the Second Round have the honor of playing the winner of #1 vs. #2 in the National Championship. Think pitting #1 vs. #2 this early ruins "the surprise"?! The surprise, my friends, was a scoreless LSU in the Championship Game!

Hogs at 14

Yes we lost a coach but we got the players and we play bama and lsu at home I think we should be in the top ten

Noise State #5?

Well, I suppose they will min 11 games since they only play one team to open the season then blind schools and sisters of the poor the rest of the way.

Are you kidding me? WVU isn't in your top 25. By the end of the season, I'll bet you will wish you had ranked the Mountaineers!!!!
—Guest WVUFAN

To the Boise State Nay-sayers:

I give you permission to eat potatoes with your crow when Boise knocks off Michigan State in another "fluke" win. Scoreboard doesn't lie :)
