College Football in 2010

Who will win the national title in 2 0 1 0

How do you create a poll like this? There are potentially a lot of checker related topics worthy of polling the participants.

One shortcoming of this poll is that voters can see the results of prior voters before casting their own votes. That should be corrected on future polls.

create a thread options at the bottom ....

its a matter of pride as far as this poll goes and seeing others votes should not affect your own thoughts on the subject

[Patrick Parker]

up here in ohio we find a lot of big and dumb guys that can play football and send them to ohio state.few ever graduate in anything worthwhile and many have problems with the law while still in school.after their football days are over they even have more problems with the law.i think you must have bigger and dumber guys in the south since you win more games.it was not like this in the old days when you had real student athletics.i know notre dame has higher standards then many schools and i would think vanderbilt would also.bottom line follow divison II football.

Most good football players are pretty smart, and you only hear about the ones that get in trouble not the other 100 on the team.

Even when calculating graduation rates using the federal government’s methodology, which does not count transfer students, Division I student-athletes graduated at 64 percent, the highest federal rate ever. This rate is two percentage points higher than the general student body, two percentage points higher than last year and up four percentage points over the past seven years.

more to the point i want futue nfl players on my college team...u can have the drs and lawyers

[steve]

josh-your 64% includes the tennis team from duke,swiming from purdue,lacross from maine -the football and basketball players lower the average.alabama with 44% and the cincinnati basketball team with bob huggings coaching ZERO % for nine years[that is sad]

[Josh Armstrong]

where do you get 44% the graduation rate for university of alabama football players is 80%

[JohnAcker]

These seem to be the most up-to-date statistics: http://stanford.scout.com/2/952555.html. It would be interesting to see graduation rates of athletes majoring in something non-sports-related.
