Lindy's magazine released their top 25 for the 2010 as well as their All-Americans for the upcoming season. The usual suspects are there with Alabama still being the consensus number one, Boise State staying in the top three (two here), and the 2010 version of Ole Miss who happens to be Arkansas is at 16.
1. Alabama
2. Boise State
3. Ohio State
4. Texas
5. FLORIDA
6. Wisconsin
7. TCU
8. Virginia Tech
9. Oklahoma
10. Iowa
11. Nebraska
12. USC
13. North Carolina
14. Pittsburgh
15. Oregon
16. Arkansas
17. Georgia Tech
18. LSU
19. West Virginia
20. Miami
21. Georgia
22. Cincinnati
23. Houston
24. Penn State
25. Utah
The only ranking that stands out on the list is Houston at 23, Georgia Tech at 17, and Oregon at 15. The reason I include Oregon is because a lot of other publications or pundits have them in the top 10, which by seasons end could be the case but with the quarterback questions a top ten ranking is too high.
Now below are LIndy's All-American list where only BYU's great offensive lineman Matt Reynolds makes the list from the Mountain West.
