The Utah Utes at number 2 doesn't surprise me. They are very good team. The Utes did give the Crimson Tide a beating. They are an underrated team. Brian Johnson is as advertise and possibly better. Their defense is solid too. The Utah Utes are a good all-around team.

I have problems with the ranking of the Penn State Nitany Lions. I'm a big fan of Joe Paterno, but that ranking is undeserved. They were blown to oblivion by the USC Trojans. They should fall out of the top 10, possibly to 11 or 12. Oregon should take their spot with Boise State moving up inside the top 10.

All the other rankings are fine with me. Maybe Alabama could be ranked lower along with Texas Tech, but that would be nitpicking, at least in the latter's case. Maybe. Look, Ole Miss gave Texas Tech the business during their bowl game battle. How they are still ranked ahead of Ole Miss is beyond me. Maybe the voters should go watch the game again. Whatever. See ya'll next year.
