Happy Thanksgiving

I ran this post in 2008 and will continue to do so every Thanksgiving as long as this blog is in existence.

Except to UVA players, fans, family and alumni. Go fuck yourselves.

In-depth Breakdown of the AP Poll

The first Associated Press Top 25 Poll was released over the weekend and at first glance it is what you would expect. The SEC and Big 12 have 5 ranked teams, the ACC has 4, the Big Ten, Mountain West and PAC 10 each have 3 and the WAC and Notre Dame each account for 1. Falling in line with the Coaches’ Poll, there are no ranked Big East teams. Here are the top five.

1. Florida (58) 0-0 1,498
2. Texas (2) 0-0 1,424
3. Oklahoma 0-0 1,370
4. USC 0-0 1,313
5. Alabama 0-0 1,156

Florida received a record 96.67% of first place votes besting 2007 USC (95.4%). You can view the full poll here.

The interesting/perplexing/alarming/insane part of the poll are the individual ballots of some voters (via pollspeak.com).

2. Utah
8. TCU
9. Texas Tech
21. Oregon State
23. Mizzou
24. LSU
25. Tulsa
Unranked. California

edit F4H: He just resubmitted his final ballot from last season which is even more preposterous than the preposterousness of preseason polls to begin with.
