2009 Preseason Coaches' Poll

This is a little old but we figured we would ensure you saw this preseason poll.

To no one’s great surprise, Florida was the No. 1 team in the preseason coaches’ poll that was released recenlty. The Gators, coming off a national championship season, received 53 of the 59 first-place votes. Second-ranked Texas received four first-place votes, while No. 3 Oklahoma and No. 4 U.S.C. each got one. Alabama rounded out the top five.

1. Florida (53 first place votes), 1,466 points
2. Texas (4), 1,386
3. Oklahoma (1), 1,358
4. USC (1), 1,321
5. Alabama, 1,134

The rest of the SEC teams are as follows:
9. LSU, 917
10. Ole Miss, 889
13. Georgia, 707
37. South Carolina, 18
39. Auburn, 12
42. Kentucky, 9
44. Arkansas, 6
56. Tennessee, 2

So South Carolina is 60th in one and 37th in another...what do these polls mean anyway as we are all 0-0 right now?
