Exciting schedule to start the year for Washington. Within the first six weeks, we'll play:

#1 LSU
#3 USC
#5 Oregon
#18 Stanford

Good times.

Did Duke get the vote from Spurrier.

i dont think so, someone talked to spurrier before last season's preseason poll saying something to the effect that he was making a mockery of the preseason poll by voting duke 25th so he didnt last year.

Is that because pre-season polls are always so accurate?

Ughh. I hate seeing USC that high, I believe the Trojans are overrated by a lot. Plenty of big questions, no way my guys are #3.

I am just glad Chris Polk is finally gone. Seems like that guy was at UW since the mid 90's.

I'd rather not start out #1, just hope the coaches/vet players manage to keep everyone focused on trying to finish #1 I guess

Well as long as the Huskies win week one, we'll (kinda weird saying that) be ranked. Currently sitting 2 votes behind Auburn for #25. I'll take one week of being ranked with that start at least. I'm sure LSU wouldn't mind another ranked team added to their schedule (until the upset happens*). I'm interested in seeing if Stanford will actually still be that highly ranked by the time we play them. Luck is a huge loss.
