Bruins Nation Pre-Season Top 25 Poll

With the fall camps right around the corner, the BN mods conducted an informal pre-season poll. The polling was conducted in pretty simple fashion; a vote for #1 was worth 25 points, #2 worth 24 points, etc. In general, our top five or six teams stayed consistent, but there was quite a bit of movement beyond that.

The SEC and Big XII led the charge with 6 teams in the Top 25 each, and the Big Ten followed close by 5. In case you're wondering, our beloved Bruins did not make our own Top 25. They check in at #26.

We'll get to the results after the jump.
