I thought it would be interesting to compare the college football polls before the season began and after the season ended. I saved my Sports Illustrated magazine for the pre-season and used the BCS poll for after the season. It is pretty interesting to compare the "hits" and "misses."
Sports Illustrated BCS
1. USC 1. Ohio State
2. LSU 2. LSU
3. Florida 3. Virginia Tech
4. West Virginia 4. Oklahoma
5. Louisville 5. Georgia
6. Michigan 6. Missouri
7. Virginia Tech 7. USC
8. Texas 8. Kansas
9. Oklahoma 9. West Virginia
10. Wisconsin 10. Hawaii
11. Ohio State 11. Arizona State
12. Rutgers 12. Florida
13. Arkansas 13. Illinois
14. Penn State 14. Boston College
15. Boise State 15. Clemson
16. Auburn 16. Tennessee
17. Tennessee 17. BYU
18. Nebraska 18. Wisconsin
19. Georgia 19. Texas
20. California 20. Virginia
21. Boston College 21. South Florida
22. UCLA 22. Cincinnati
23. TCU 23. Auburn
24. Hawaii 24. Boise State
25. South Florida 25. UConn
It is interesting that some teams like the Oregon Ducks went up and down. At one point the Ducks were ranked #2 in the country. When injuries decimated their team(they played their 5th string quarterback for most of last Saturday's game) the Ducks fell completely off the charts. [/u]
