The AP has released its preseason ranking:

1. Georgia (22)
2. Ohio State (21)
3. USC (12)
4. Oklahoma (4)
5. Florida (6)
6. Missouri
7. LSU
8. West Virginia
9. Clemson
10. Auburn

If I were a betting man (okay, I often am a betting man), I'd say that Missouri, West Virginia, and Clemson will not be in the top 10 after week 12.

Now, after the overwhelming success of our FAKGPBRS poll last year, we will be having the SAKGPBRS this year. You guessed it: Second Annual Kelly Green Performance-Based Ranking System.

SAKGPBRS's rules are the same as those of FAKGPBRS--found here.

Just a quick reminder that we won't be releasing the first installment of the SAKGPBRS until after week 3 of the season: "What happened last year should have absolutely no bearing on this year’s rankings. If Washington State starts out 3-0 and USC stumbles out of the gate, the Cougars will be ranked higher that the Trojans. None of this 'fighting last year’s failures' or 'coasting on last year’s success' nonsense."
