As many know, I go many different directions and I enjoy it. Sometimes it's politics, other times, relationships. Today it's college football. I have compiled a preseason ranking of Division 1 College Football. Please understand that it's just for fun. I don't take myself that seriously. Though I think this is as accurate of a list as you'll find right now (May 12, 2004).
