Well, it's been a few days since we posted the finalized pre-season blogpoll. Let's check the mailbag to see what the public has to say! These are just a few of the reactions posted on my SI FanNation blog (which is just a mirror of this one).
"Texas at 13? USC at 25? With Gibson and Hackett returning, and the addition of Mayo, I just don't understand. USC's only downfall is that they play in a strong basketball conference with several teams that rank high all year long."

I'll say it over and over again, USC does not deserve to be ranked, they have raw untested talent and they haven't played anybody yet. Is OJ Mayo that damn good?!
"how can pitt not be on there. sure they lost gray, but they will still be a top 25 team. they are definitely better than virginia commonwealth."
- bigdleech loves stanford
Pitt is definitely a good team deserving of a ranking IMO. I had them at 23, but some other bloggers felt that they shouldn't have been ranked so that dropped them. I can almost guarantee that Pitt will be up there after the 2nd week of the season.
"Why is OH State's basketball team not ranked. Just because we lost some major players we will still be a force to contend with in the Big 10 and the nation. Matta has some excellent recruits. If we are not ranked, then FL sure shouldn't be."
- etc
You kinda answered your own question, Etc. What kind of screen name is "Etc" anyway?!
"Weak. Butler should be top 15 easily. I have 4 Indiana teams ranked: IU, Purdue, Butler, and Notre Dame."
- IrishR#1: Addai Who?
Geez, a little biased are we? If I were to go that route then I would think that Air Force, BYU, Utah and San Diego State should be ranked. Ha!
Be back later with an insane recruiting story...
