As college football fans, we hate the polls.

But each Sunday, we will break our necks to find out who's number one and where our favorite team is ranked.

I am the same way to a point. I love to look at the rankings and laugh. Ball State, Boise State, Utah? Please. The next thing you know a team like Hawaii will get a BCS bid. Wait. Never mind.

But I must say college football polls are okay. They are a fun pastime. On the other hand, anyone who has anything to do with a National High School Football Poll should be flogged with a wet copy of Urban Crier's book.

Now back to my point if there was one.

The information age has actually dumb-downed the members who vote in the AP Top 25 when it should have smartened them up. It's too easy now. Don't worry about reading or watching a game. Just turn on the Evil Empire and let Mark May, Lou Holtz, Lee Corso or Kirk Herbstriet tell you who you should rank.

I firmly believe that members of the media...or press if you are old school...know nothing. And that's me included. Now there are a few like Tony Barnhart and Chip Towers of the AJC who are top notch, but most are just like me. Sticking a wet finger in the wind and coming up with a ranking.

And with that in mind, here is my biased TS Top 25. Drop me a note and tell me how far off I am:

1-Alabama
2-Florida (Boy that ranking pains me)
3-Texas
4-Southern Cal
5-Penn State
6-Oklahoma
7-UGA
8-Oklahoma State
9-Texas Tech
10-LSU
11-Missouri
12-Vanderbilt
13-Ohio State
14-Kansas
15-Michigan State
16-South Flordia
17-Pittsburgh
18-Virginia Tech
19-North Carolina
20-Wake Forest
21-Georgia Tech
22-Pittsburgh
23-Minnesota
24-South Carolina
25-Flordia State

Your first reaction probably will be. Hey, with the exception of Southern Cal, there are no teams from out West.

And your point is?
