Dropped Out:
Taking into account reader feedback, I've dropped Hawaii to a lower ranking, added Arkansas to the poll (that was an oversight), and removed Florida State. I kept Oregon and Arizona State where they were, because I want to make my preseason poll based on what I think will happen this year, not on what happened this year. Believe me, I won't be one of those who uses my preseason "guesses" as a guide for the whole season. I am very open to changes as we actually see teams play.
Anyway, happy debating.
GO DUCKS!!!
