That's 27 teams thus far. Does anyone deserve to be included in our reader polling system? Does anyone flat out need to be excluded?

Auburn, West Virginia, Utah, Oregon State, Cincinnati, and UConn have all been ranked top 25 by big name source types
The first three, at least, are pretty essential.
I’d lose Air Force for sure, and probably BYU too. Navy might be a popular choice around here, given CPJ’s history, their 10-4 record and convincing bowl win over a BCS opponent, and the return of QB Ricky Dobbs.

I think it’s crazy that we can only come up with about 30 teams worthy of a Top 25 poll. Most seasons I’m thinking there are 50 teams worthy of the poll. Might be a top heavy year with 4 or 5 dominant teams or might be ACC style football all over the country where really almost anyone (cough not Duke) could beat almost anyone.
That’s what is so awesome about college football we start from scratch every September and get to see it all play out.
Spurrier would like to know why Duke is not on your list

He would have a better case for USC(e).
The Gamecocks may finally have game this year.

U[sic]GA should definitely be excluded...
…for obvious and completely biased reasons, of course.
Coaches Poll
I left out Oregon State, Auburn, Utah, and West Virginia…

Navy
There is no way you can have Air Farce on there and not Navy. I could go on and on about why. AF hasn’t won a significant game since 2007.
Under normal conditions I would agree
But given what has transpired leading up to Maoli’s arrival at Ole Miss, I’d say that just having him aboard doesn’t qualify them for a top 25 spot. Not pre-season and not it’s certain he is starting and they prove something.
"Everybody talks about SEC speed. The 27 fastest guys at the (NFL) combine, how many of them were from the SEC? Three. But if you say it enough, everybody will believe it."
-CPJ
"You could spend the next fifteen seconds of your life watching a man and a tiger scream together, or you could be an idiot."
Fact.
Swap
Out with Houston, in with West Virginia. Houston’s schedule includes 2 (and a half?) serious opponents, and I’m skeptical they’ll get through it unbeaten.
I’d even rather have Auburn, Clemson, or UConn (!) over Houston.
Updated - dropped Air Force added a few, left Houston/BYU in...

Preseason Top 25
USC should be excluded since they can’t be ranked this year in the official polls due to NCAA violations. I would also drop Air Force. Here’s who I would have:
ACC: GA Tech, VA Tech, Miami, FSU & UNC
Big 12: Texas, Oklahoma & Nebraska
Big Ten: Ohio St, Iowa, Wisconsin & Penn St
Big East: Pitt, Cincy and WVU
C-USA: Houston
Mountain West: TCU & Utah
Pac-10: Oregon, Stanford & Oregon St
SEC: Alabama, Florida, LSU, Arkansas & UGAy
WAC: Boise St
That’s 27 teams. GO JACKETS!!!
