Is the magazine on the shelf? That's the one I like...

[CoolBull1]

BTW....Auburn 41?  Rutgers @ 30....he's the first person I've seen not caught up in the media hype!  I think Rutgers will be challenged without Brian Leonard and a QB who is "just ok".  Andre Hall couldn't do it all...why should Ray Rice be able to?

[VeryBullish]

Yea, but Hawaii at 12? For real?

He seems to know the big east pretty well. I agree with Phil. Rutgers is recieving waaaaay to much hype. Well, isn't it nice to be down the street from the media capital of the world.

[crambone]

I guess he's picking Colt Brennan for the Heisman if he puts Hawaii @ #12...

[Rizman]

Florida State is ranked higher than Florida, I don't by that.  Also, how do we have players who have never played a down for us Tyrone get First team mentioned. Wow  

[crambone]

Because McKenzie was a First Team for the Big 12 last year?!?!

[NAM37]

Worst pre-season ranking I've ever seen.  It looks almost random...

[bullwark]

The Big East Picks are correct, however, Kentucky is not listed, a team returning a senior QB that put up good numbers and beat Clemson in a Bowl Game.  Hawaii at 12 seems to be ranked too high along with Memphis.  Arkansas seems to be ranked a little low.
