I know the "experts" are saying otherwise, but West Virginia will win the Big East. Pitt will still eat "Rule #6"
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

#4 for Texas? - They must have typo'd it and forgot to add the A&M.

Coaches must have a lot of faith in the QB Garret Gilbert..... hope he doesn't get hurt - Texas' 2nd backup QB just left - leaving them with 2 freshman. (one is Colt's Little bro)

Can't wait for November.... Garret Gilbert meet Von Miller...Von Miller meet Garret Gilbert....


Saw em off!

Bama will get knocked off, Ohio state will get knocked off, Florida will get knocked off.

Oklahoma will be in the National Championship.

I watched him play for Graham last year versus Bridgeport (who had an awesome defense). The kid has the skills.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Im a Gator fan and I am shocked how high they are ranked.

They lost much of their team to the draft.  Most of the offense has gone off at least the key parts have, and the defense is weakened through the draft as well.  The D-Line will be good this year as well as the secondary.  The LB corps will need to prove themselves.

The WR corps also will need to step up, QB is new and not Tim Tebow.  John Brantley will be a completely different feel to the game and the O-line should be solid.  The tight ends will have to step up as well if they will use them as much as they did Hernandez last year.

While I think Florida should be in the top 10, 3 is pushing it.  I would put them closer to 7 or 8. 

I feel Miami, Penn St, North Carolina, and Wisconsin should be ranked higher.  Hell I would put Boise St at 3.

Texas at #4 is a joke.  Call me crazy and biased, but Nebraska's schedule plays out very nicely for them to have a BCS bowl or bust type of season.  The biggest game of the college football season will take place October 16th, Texas vs Nebraska in Lincoln.  Will be there.   :cool:
