Poll #1

Here's our first poll of the season. We haven't polled since the pre-season because we like to wait a few weeks, and see what teams are made of. It can be argued the out of conference schedules of most teams still don't tell us much, but at least holding our poll back a few weeks allows us to see the teams play.

I missed you guys last week as this little thing called Hurricane Ike swept through my home. All is well, and I'll be back on the scene with picks and insight this Thursday.
