The preseason college football coaches' poll came out today. The coaches voted LSU No. 1 and then ... well, the rest is pretty much all the other SEC teams. If you're interested, you can see the poll here.

The return of the coaches' poll raises the question: What if college football coaches ranked things other than football teams? (At least it raises that question for the purpose of this blog post.) Here's how the College Football Coaches' Poll of College Football Coaches' Favorite Things might look:

1. Execution
2. Toughness
3. Imposing your will
4. Speed
5. Dedication
6. Hitting them in the mouth
7. Ballcaps
8. Five-star recruits
9. Controlling the clock
10. Four-star recruits
11. Field position
12. Special teams
13. Softball questions
14. Visors
15. Profanity
16. Breaking down tape
17. Yelling
18. Screaming
19. Clichés
20. Cupcakes
21. Coaches' shorts
22. Sleeping on the office couch
23. Playing golf
24. Three-star recruits
25. Academics
