My Little Poll . . .
To quote ESPN's Pat Forde, "Picking the 2006 Top 25 in January is dumber than an improvised lateral on the dead run to an unsuspecting teammate." [For those who missed it in the Rose Bowl, yes, that was Reggie Bush proving that having a Heisman on your mantle doesn't excuse you from stupidity on the field.] But just for the kick of it, I'm going to try a top 25 . . . we'll see how I do next fall!
