    You know Don that's what Amway people always told you as to why their stuff costs so much, it was so concentrated that you hardly had to use any at all to get your floors, clothes and you clean. :)

    Here's link the Phil Steele's poll.

    Does being sponsored by Amway make the preseason Coaches' Poll less reliable? I'm thinking there's not much you could do to any preseason poll to make it any more irrelevant.

    Based on the preseason ESPN FPI rankings, five of the top six most difficult schedules are P12:

    1-UCLA
    2-Utah
    3-Cal
    5-Wazzu
    6-USC

    Again, this means nothing, but at least we have FOOTBALL to talk about!

    "Amway" Coaches Poll? A sure sign that they had problems finding a sponsor. Wonder why. :roll:
