There is no clear-cut number one team as we look towards the start of the 2008 college football season in less than one week, but the SCS.com has settled on the Georgia Bulldogs as the team to beat this fall, though not by a wide margin. Both Florida and Ohio State received first place votes as well, finishing in a tie for second behind UGA. Two of the sport's other mainstays, Oklahoma and Southern Cal, round out the preseason edition of the top five. Defending national champ LSU, meanwhile, comes in at number ten. Ten teams ranked in the 2007 Postseason Fab 15 have made their way into the 2008 Preseason tally. Here's a complete look at how the voting stacked up.
