As mentioned in the first poll, StateFansNation considers these early polls to be premature and for the most part meaningless, as not enough football has yet been played. Again, as a result, you can expect to see considerable changes in the poll from week to week.
A couple of quick notes…
Cal and Arkansas are out, Texas Tech and UCLA are in. Notre Dame will have ample opportunity through September to convince us of a higher (or lower) ranking. USC and Texas both looked better than expected with new QB’s. This week we’ll learn a lot more about Texas (and Ohio State). With a win over a decent Nebraska team next week, USC has the potential to solidify its position. We’ll also have to wait until next week to learn more about the SEC, but on the 16th Auburn/LSU and Tennessee/Florida should give us the early frontrunners for the division titles. Below is our week 2 poll.
