We’ll pass on the disclaimer this time; enough has been said with the previous polls.
One media note to ponder. Will Disney/ABC/ESPN’s new night game covered by Kirk Herbstreit, have any effect on college football coverage and as a result the polls? In years past, Game Day would head to the best game of the week. With LSU/Auburn, Florida/Tennessee, and Notre Dame/Michigan this weekend, the Nebraska/USC game just doesn’t seem like an obvious choice. Not coincidentally, Notre Dame and the SEC are the most likely to be shortchanged by the new primetime game due to their respective NBC and CBS contracts.
