USA Today released its Coaches' Poll today with preseason rankings for college football's top 25 teams.

1.Oklahoma (42)

11. Nebraska
12. South Carolina
13. Virginia Tech
14. Arkansas
15. TCU

Kind of surprised to see 5 Big 10 teams in the pre-season poll. I also disagree with Stanford being ranked 6th. I know none of the teams have played yet, but I think with Harbaugh in the NFL, that team is gonna regress a little.

Can't wait for college football to start!

We can obviously tell that Texas is in the Top 25 because of how good they should be and not because their name is Texas. It's perfectly normal for a team that went 5-7 to be in the preseason top 25 the next year.
