Florida Picks Up Where It Finished
by CFP Staff
June 17, 2009
After defeating Oklahoma in the BCS Championship game, Florida was a unanimous No. 1 in the final CCR Top 120, Coaches Poll and AP Poll at the end of last season.
The Gators will start the 2009 campaign in the same spot on the CCR Top 120. In fact, there is very little change among the top 5 teams.
Oklahoma was 5th at the end of last season, and begins this year by moving back into the No. 2 spot. USC drops from 2nd to 4th; Texas stays 3rd; Utah slips from 4th to 5th.
There are six teams ranked in the Top 25 to begin this season that were not there at the end of 2008 - No. 14 Oklahoma State, No. 18 LSU, No. 20 Michigan State, No. 21 Pittsburgh, No. 22 Arizona and No. 24 Kansas.
Dropping out are West Virginia, Oregon State, Missouri, Mississippi, Cincinnati and Ball State.
Ball State finished last season ranked 14th but opens their 2009 campaign at No. 64.
