My final AP Top 25 poll
January 12, 2009
By Jon Johnson
Sent in my final AP Top 25 rankings on Thursday night, just minutes after Florida put the finishing touches on a win against Oklahoma.
Despite many emails from Utah supporters wanting No. 1 consideration, my mind was already made up to go with the winner of the BCS Championship game as No. 1, followed by Utah.
Below is my final rankings. It was fun to do this season.

No. 3 Texas
No. 4 Southern Cal

No. 11 Ohio State
No. 12 Boise State
No. 13 Ole Miss
No. 14 Virginia Tech
No. 15 Texas Tech
