    It's here, the the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Top 25 preseason poll:

    Oklahoma, which hasn't been ranked as the preseason No. 1 in any poll since 1987, earned 29 first-place votes to edge Ohio State (28 first place votes) and No. 3 Miami (five). Texas and Kansas State round out the top five, marking the first time in the history of the coaches' poll that three teams from the same conference are ranked in the top five.

    Whaddya know, three Big XII teams in the Top Five. And Texas at 4.

    Coolness.

    Let the debate begin as we wait for an actual game!

    (Here's the actual list)

    And nary an SEC team in sight. The Apocalypse is nigh.

    It's even worse: the highest ranked SEC team (at #6) is Auburn, and they even got one #1 vote!

    Purdue is at #22, not a bad start.

    Badgers at #20. Can Alverez pull another Rose Bowl out of his magic hat? Don't bet against him as long as Anthony Davis is healthy.
