Coaches Poll Top 25:

1. Clemson

2. Bama

3. Georgia

4. OU

5. Ohio St

6. LSU

7. Michigan

8. Florida

9. ND

10. Texas

11. Texas A&M

12. Washington

13. Oregon

14. PSU

15. Utah

16. Auburn

17. UCF

18. Wisc.

19. Iowa

20. MSU

21. WSU

22. Syracuse

23. Stanford

24. Iowa St

25. Northwestern

The publication of this ranking just set off millions of internet arguments devoid of any logic.

For example:

Guy#1: Hey, did you see the coaches poll came out?

Guy #2: Yeah, but it makes sense whatsoever. These coaches just put teams wherever.

Guy #1: What do you mean?

Guy #2: Well, take Penn State at #14...no WAY PSU should be 14, they should be 13.

Bevo God Using my mind... It's the Little Things that count.

Looks fair enough to me. At least we're ahead of A&M... I can live with that!

Please

So what do you think of Iowa THIS season, as those other Iowa teams have graduated and moved on

Ultimately its a stupid preason poll, and things will work themsevlves out

FSU is 46 by the way

Agree with Evil & Doc about the silliness of polls ( pre or regular season ) but it's so ingrained as part of the mythical system we've been fed for 150 years. Other sports with championships have polls for fun but they are not so influential.

Have no idea about 2019 Iowa, Evil. Fill me in. Over the years unhyped Iowa has generally been better than perceived.
