Ultimate Bill Looks at the Top 25

I had an intention of writing a paragraph long analysis of each pick but I've run out of time. I decided to wing it with one sentence stream-of-consciousness. I've laid out the teams and I started on the first five. For the rest, I'm giving myself five minutes to complete the task. Clock is starting....NOW

1. Alabama (58 of 62 first place votes) - Not sure what the 4 brain dead non voters were thinking. Oh wait! They're brain dead...they weren't thinking. The Tide will likely cruise against my beloved Hokies and then face what might be the toughest test of the season against Texas A&M the second week of the season. Though I predict that the Tide will take care of business all while Manziel tweets about his golden flaked Nike shoes. The thing is, the Tide, for the SEC, has a relatively light slate with no Georgia, Florida, or South Carolina (the SEC East might be back - finally). Furthermore, and this a huge travesty, there are two contests, the likes of which are so embarrassing that they may stain college football forever. Really Alabama, as returning National Champ you need Georgia State and Chattanooga on your schedule?
2. Ohio State (3 votes) - Maybe these 3 number one voters are on to something. The Buckeyes have the following three toughies at home in September: Buffalo, San Diego State, and Florida A&M. These challenging duels bookend a visit to Cal the 3rd week of September. This is followed by a tepid Big 10 slate that includes three preseason ranked teams, none higher than #17 Michigan (a suspect ranking in itself). The 'Nuts might cruise again this year, only this time they'll be tested in a bowl game.
3. Oregon - New coach, new multi-bazillion dollar facility, new uniform every quarter, new results? Oregon has pretty much been the same program through its last few coaches. No reason to think the engine won't keep running on all cylinders.
4. Stanford - see Oregon without the new coach or multi-bamillion facility.
5. Georgia - Heard this one before. The Bulldawgs pull the opposite move as Ohio State, opening with #8 Clemson, then getting #6 South Carolina at home, taking a break with north Texas, and then right back in it with #12 LSU at home.
6. Texas A&M (1 vote) - Prediction? Manzeilian fall to Earth.
7. South Carolina - Jadeveon Clowney is going to wonder why he gave up millions of dollars to go through a season of competitiveness, only to fall short of the SEC title game...again.
8. Clemson - Is Taj Boyd the real deal? He gets to test against Georgia to start and South Carolina to finish. I predict the predictable. Clemson will fall on its backside at some point in a most inexplicable and astounding fashion.
9. Louisville - Get your no count Big East arse out of the top ten. This won't last.
10. Florida - Still haven't not had a quarterback since Tebow. And if you count the Pat's definition, since Leak.
11. Notre Dame - Sure, why not?
12. Florida State - FSU IS BACK BABY! (Rinse, repeat since 2001)
13. LSU - Miles of road to travel giving too many chances for Miles to be Miles.
14. Oklahoma State - Three Big 12 (or whatever they're called now) teams back to back to back. Two of these three, hint - not Oklahoma State, will vault into the top five within three weeks based on nothing, only to plummet, based on something.
15. Texas - Three Big 12 (or whatever they're called now) teams back to back to back. Two of these three, hint - not Oklahoma State, will vault into the top five within three weeks based on nothing, only to plummet, based on something.
16. Oklahoma - Three Big 12 (or whatever they're called now) teams back to back to back. Two of these three, hint - not Oklahoma State, will vault into the top five within three weeks based on nothing, only to plummet, based on something.
17. Michigan - No Denard? No get yard. Catchy eh?
18. Nebraska - I don't think the Cornhuskers planned on being a middlin' team in a middlin' conference but here we are.
19. Boise St. - Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
20. TCU - Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
21. UCLA - Just beat USC. PLEASE.
22. Northwestern - Over Wisconsin? Really? Meh - 22rd spot. Who cares
23. Wisconsin - See 22nd spot
24. USC - I really, REALLY hope USC doesn't live up to these most mediocre of expectations.
25. Oregon St. - Does anyone even in your state know you play? Have you seen Oregon's locker room?

And time!  4:35... not too shabby.
