I will start my own top 25 poll after Week 5. I disagree with preseason polls. Teams that lose games fall and they cause a logjam of teams moving up. Besides, the preseason polls are all based on potential and teams' seasons should not be based on a flawed view of "potential".
Without further to do this week picks by me with proper respect to Jim Thorpe (Star Carlisle Triple Threat Player)

went with a lot of upsets of MAC schools beating Big 10 schools. The CAA teams have a history of beating or
playing close games with ACC teams.
