TPC at the Dillo - Preseason Top 25

As a special favor to the blog, my boy TPC has decided he will serve as the media poll to my coach's poll and will be presenting his own CFB Top 25 polls during the season. Here is his preseason top 25 [Please note that I am simply posting nearly verbatim what TPC has emailed to me and in no way do I or my fellow contributors condone any terminology used herein]:

1. Notre Dame Fightin' Irish - It's is God's team after all, and us Catholics [ed. note - contrary to TPC's implications, Judz is, in fact, Jewish] need to stick together, besides Tradition triumphs Television, and ND has both!!!
2. Florida Gators* - Urban Meyer won last year, so good chance he can make it 2 in a row, Leak is gone but Thibeaux(Tebow) is capable with the exception of the real way to spell his name.
3. Southern California Men of Troy* - Pete Carroll doesn't rebuild, he reloads, and with a North Louisiana Redneck pulling the trigger, they won't need a Trojan horse
4. Louisiana State Bayou Bengals* - Les is More, and the Tigers are looking good after whitewashing Croom's boys in Starkville
5. Texas Longhorns* - Mack Brown? If ever status quo was a good thing in college football it found its home in Austin, Texas
6. West Virginia Mountaineers - RR is a man with a plan, and WVU is starting to build a program that will last a good long while
7. Alabama Crimson Tide* - Saban on the sidelines? Houndstooth Visor maybe? The season test will be Nov. 3 @ Bryant-Denny
8. Oklahoma Sooners* - Bob Stoops.
9. Virginia Tech Hokies - I was going to blast MV7 or the idiot who shot up the campus, but they have suffered enough, Beamer Ball is ready for another run.
10. Penn State Nittany Lions - We say JOE-PA you say TERNO; JOE-PA TERNO
11. Michigan Wolverines - Lloyd Carr is older than the big house, but when you play 8 home games surrounded by 110K fans, winning aint that difficult
12. Louisville Cardinals - Brian Brohm and the Happy Hour Cardinals look poised for another run
13. California Golden Bears - California - I didn't want to be accused of Third Coast Bias
14. Wisconsin Badgers - The Badgers don't play at the Horseshoe (but do have to go to the Big House) and they're in the Big10+1
15. Georgia Bulldogs* - UGA, Uga and the Hedges!!!
16. Ohio State Buckeyes - Brutus and a Horseshoe? Jim Tressel struggles to regain form in Columbus
17. Auburn Plainsmen/Tigers/War Eagles* - Confused with the nicknames? Tuberville smokes stogies, except after the Iron Bowl
18. Texas A&M Fighting Aggies - FRAN-ic hasn't set in, but beating Texas gave him another 2 years
19. Nebraska Cornhuskers - Not a Callahan fan, but the Husker Nation is impressive and demands quality
20. Tennessee Volunteers - Seriously, Fulmer already has a street on campus named for him … enough said
21. California - Los Angeles Golden Bruins - All about the media market and the Gold Helmets
22. Boise State Broncos - Blue Fields and Broncos, don't forget about the slipper
23. Florida State Seminoles - Bowden and Fisher, points will be scored in Tallahassee
24. Texas Christian Horned Frogs - Ft. Worth Texas is proud of the purple frogs
25. Houston Cougars - I like Briles and the Coogs, and I believe in supporting the home team
