I miscalculated the number of days until Aug/28, so even though the poll will stay open until Aug/29, I will post the final results of the poll on Aug/28 before kickoff time of the Temple - Vanderbilt game.

You’re missing #17 and #18.

4

Wrong! Read!

On second thought, you’re right! As worded, the poll omits three BCS-Top-25 teams (also #22) so the full list for voting is incomplete. Why I reacted defensively is that I had intended to list the higher-ranked teams in those games pairing two Top 25 teams. I just didn’t say that in the OP.

I prefer not to do another poll with that set of corrections. So participate as you see fit.

Sorry for the confusion – and the snarky reply. :frowning:

I have requested that this thread be closed.

A replacement thread is now up at Week 1 CFB – Which BCS Top 25 team(s) will lose? — << corrected poll >>

Closing thread since a new one has been made.
