San Jose Mercury News' Top 25 ballot includes LSU No. 1, Auburn No. 15
If you’re looking for West Coast bias, you’ve come to the wrong place.
Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News is sure to face some scrutiny this week after he revealed his Week 1 Associated Press Top 25 ballot. Wilner includes three SEC teams in the Top 5 not named Alabama or Auburn and put Tennessee in the No. 22 spot after a win over Utah State.
Oklahoma State’s 0-1 after a loss to Florida State, but Wilner considers the Cowboys as America’s 11th-best team.
Wilner states that his Week 1 poll is always an attempt to ‘to rid the ballot of preseason hype/guesswork/misconceptions as quickly and thoroughly as possible.’
Mission accomplished.
