Here it is the official coaches poll, first of the season. The biggest thing that sticks out to me is Pitt not being ranked, and Michigan being ranked. Thoughts?

Yay!!! Maryland actually got votes this year!!! They didn't last year, but they did this year after a 3 win drop?

August 1, 2008  12:47 PM ET

I do not like being number one but we are solid. Huge.. huge .. schedule..

August 1, 2008  12:49 PM ET

I just realized ND got a few votes????? That hurts the entire poll...

August 1, 2008  01:08 PM ET

Michigan?Ughh.

6 teams copped #1 votes. Just goes to show how wide open it could be. My nephew recently told me this is the only poll that matters, so we will see how it plays out. A lot of huge games on the menu pretty early this season.

I'm surprised Nebraska got that many votes. I expected my team to get votes but not that many,

August 1, 2008  04:30 PM ET

Seriosuly, who the hell voted for Tulsa?

August 1, 2008  06:01 PM ET

Chokelahoma and Ohio St are too high.

August 1, 2008  06:36 PM ET

Dude, LSU got 3 first place votes, COOL.

August 1, 2008  09:08 PM ET

Tulsa probably got votes for their offense

August 1, 2008  09:37 PM ET

The 5 coaches that voted for Notre dame should get sprayed with Bear Mace and fired.

August 1, 2008  10:49 PM ET

Really? North Carolina got some votes. And you've lost all credibility to me Coaches Poll

August 1, 2008  10:54 PM ET

Even though I hate them, Alabama should have been up there.

August 1, 2008  10:58 PM ET

SO......ANGRY!
