Hmm, thats interesting Mlthmp, but do you really think 3 Big XII teams can make it into the top 7 With Texas ranked #3 that means they win the Big XII, which means that they would have to have beaten Nebraska twice. And with USC being your number one doesn't that mean they would have to beat NU, giving NU 3 losses. If NU beats USC and USC and Texas only have 1 loss, and Texas only loss is to OSU the it would be an OSU/Texas rematch for the title.

Very good point, what I think would be cool is if we see Texas, OU, OSU, USC, and 2 SEC team, all with 1 loss at the end of the season, think of how cool that would be. 6 teams all trying to make it into 1 game, Shocked

The thing I'm worried about is ND getting 9 wins and getting another undeserved BCS bid. There was no question ND was outclassed by OSU last year, AJ Hawk wrecked Quinn up pretty bad.

I'm sorry Dark, Arkansas stands no chance.

You almost remind me of kids from Missouri I met at camp...

They had Mizzo Tigers shirts on every other day, and a Mizzo hat every day...

They believed in a crap southern team... like you! Wink

Georgia's QB situation is up in the air, but I think people will be surprised with Georgia this year. Not likely to repeat as SEC Champions, but we'll be somewhere in the top 20 same as always.

I really have not had the opportunity to sit down and try to evaluate a top 10 yet.

#1 The Ohio State University
#2 USC
#3 LSU
#4 Georgia
#5 Tennessee
#6 West Virginia
#7 Penn State
#8 Florida State
#9 Miami
#10 Iowa

(Honorable Mentions to Virginia Tech who I think can do some damage in the ACC.)

I hate to spoil the party, but who ever thought that a QB who has yet to take a snap can lead Texas to a National Championship, let alone a top ten ranking...

Sorry. Texas will fall at least twice this season. Once to Oklahoma, and the other one I could name a couple. Vince Young is gone, and the scrambling ability that WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP for you is gone with it. Vince's running ability was great for situations where the play has completely crumbled, and the WR are completely covered. Texas will no longer have this.

OSU has TWO things to worry about this season. Penn State, and Iowa.
Anything else would have to be considered an Upset.

I have to admit.. while I am biased (being a fan) how can so many people have 2 or 3 SEC teams in their top 10 with no mention of Auburn?

As I said, I am biased.. but not to the point of thinking my team is the best ever (I ranked them 4th not 1st by any means)

Look at their schedule.. Auburn has four road games, at Mississippi State, South Carolina, Ole Miss and Alabama. Which means LSU, Florida, Arkansas and Georgia all have to play on the plains..

Kenny Irons and Brandon Cox together make this a rather dangerious offense.. Will they go undefeated? Nope. I do think they'll win the SEC and lose 1 along the way in SEC play.

The most famous, and best-supported, of the Michigan varsity teams is the football team. Michigan's football program is among the most storied and successful in college football history. Michigan won the first Rose Bowl game in 1902, has won an NCAA-record 849 games through the 2005 season, and has an all-time winning percentage of .745, also an NCAA record. The Wolverine football program claims 11 national titles: 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923, 1932, 1933, 1947, 1948 and 1997.

I should also throw out a name Chris Wells, a 6'1" 225 pound beast who can take it all the way, very similar to Adrian Peterson, so its not just Pittman at running back. If the Fiesta Bowl is any showing, Ginn is going to be one heck of a reciever this year, playing in Tressel system doesnt always allow for big numbers.

Your right, Chris Wells looks like a great back. If he is as good as Adrian Peterson then he will be something to watch. I wold like to see Texas play Sergio Kindle at RB but we need LB more than RB so it looks like he will be a LB, Confused

. Kindle was the best RB and best LB in the state last year.

Texas had problems against OU because Mack wouldn't play Major Applewhite his Sr. year Evil or Very Mad

. And because we had a complete idiot named Chris Simms that didn't know which Roy Williams he was supposed to throw to.

Lets not forget that ND had a terrible D and Michigan in 05 had a good D.

Anyways, beaners top 10 could happen, even the 4 SEC teams in the top 10, think about it, if Florida loses to Auburn, then LSU beats FLorida, and then Florida beats Georgia and then they beat Auburn in the SEC title game the SEC could get 4 top 10 teams. Unlikely, yes, but wierder things have happend.

Has anyone looked at WVU's schedule? They only have to get past Louisville and they get to play for the title.

I'm gonna go ahead and change my prediction a bit. I say that West Virginia could quite possibly go undefeated if they play like they did last year, and make the National Championship against OSU.

That'd be a fun game. Smile

I don't think that WVU is going to do great this year, I think last year was kind of a fluke. Afterall they almost blew the game last year.

Although I am a huge Michigan fan, I think OSU will pull out this year, they are on their home turf and they are going to have an amazing offense in my opinion.

1. Ohio State
2. USC/Notre Dame
3. Notre Dame/USC
4. Auburn
5. Florida
6. West Virginia
7. Oklahoma
8. Georgia
9. Michigan
10. Texas

I put Michigan in there strictly on what team shows up to play this year. If Henne decides to have an off season again then I don't think theres any chance they will be top 10. But if Hart stays healthy and Henne has a decent season, they will be top 10 material.
