OK PERCY...as promised here is my pre - pre season top 25...
1. Ohio State...weak conference and they bring everyone back how can you not like this team..
2. MIzzou...Will ahve a rough ride but they are very good..totaly hosed out of BCS game last year..Teh Rose ball should have sacked up and gone non-traditional..
3. OU.. Too Much talent not to challenge for the Big 12 titile
4. Florida..If they can run and defend and cut down Tebow's carries...they should win the SEC
5. USC...look awful good on paper in a top heavy conference
6. Georgia...Had a great run to finsih the year off...history does not bode well for the DAWGS
7. Wisky...Ohio State better be ready for this team
8. Arizona State...could win the Pac 10 this year with some luck..
9. Clemson...well someone has to win the ACC...and who ever it is ..most likely Clemson they will be overrated and put in the top 10
10. Kansas...can they do it again?....I think so..
11. South Florida...They have some tough road dates..going to Louisville, Cincy and West Virginia...they win 2 of 3 they could be the BE Champs..
12. Oregon...Should be the third best team in the Pac 10
13. LSU...I am sure I will take a beating for this one..but as I have said on other posts they lost a ton of talent on both sides fo the ball including this years starting QB...I can't bring myself move them any higher..and remember last years outstanding team lost to 2 middle of the pack SEC teams ..and one of them was critical last game at home!
14. Texas...this team will go as Colt MCCoy goes...they could be slotted here or completley out of the top 25..
15. West Virginia..They have a favorable schedule..outside of goig to Colorado and Louisville...They get Auburn at home along with the majority of tough BE games...if they can show they can fill the gaps on defense and have the ability to play the pass..and get by thier OOC games.Get the new coaching stafff to gell...this team could make another run at the NC....a lot of ifs!!
16. Auburn...See WV...they seem to have alot of the same if's..new offense..will it work??..if it does they will make a push for the SEC Championship..
17. Texas Tech..Ok I am drinking the Kool Aid like everyone else...I really don't see how they get through IMHO the Best Conference in the Country...but we will leave them here..
18. Illnois...I had some trouble putting them here without really knowing how they are going to run the ball..Juice Wiiliams IMHO is overrated..but they should make some noise in the mediocre Big 10..
19 . BYU..there is a case they should start the year higher...They are going to be very good..
20. Fresno State..and this team is as well..ask Texas A&M about how these kids can play..
21. Tennessee...The enigma team of College Football...every year this team should be better than thier results...losing an outstanding QB and the heart of the defense in Mayo is not going to help...this is really a gift to rank them at 21..
And the rest....
22. Rutgers
23. Va Tech
24. Penn State
25. Louisville...yes this looks like a HOMER conference call but I really see the Cards under thier second year with Kragthorpe re-establishing themselves they stil have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball to be extremely dangerous.....
There you have it Percy...
