re: So who is your top 5 preseason for College Fooball next year?

1.LSU
2.Arkansas
3.Oregon
4.Alabama
5.USC

Replacing USC's LT will be a bigger deal than ESPN wants you to believe. Oregon didn't seem to miss a beat when DT went out of the game this year. Bama 2012 = Arkansas 2011. They will beat the shite out of everyone, except LSU and Arkansas. They lose those 2 games on the road. LSU returns every running back, a ton on D, and actually gets a QB for the first time in 4 years. Add to that the fuel of 1/9/12 for the entire offseason and LSU 2012 = Miami 2001.

Arkansas does get both LSU and Alabama at home next year.

They'd played with both of them for awhile but then the games got out of hand. They just need more players to be able to hang with them for the full 60 minutes. They've been recruiting well. One of these years they'll break through.

no. wanna know why? There is a thread on the SEC recruiting board, a couple of pages deep now, which has listed each SEC school and where they got this year's recruits from.
Ark has more from Tex than from Ark.

LSU has all but three from Louisiana.

If you do not have enough local players, you wont compete at the highest level routinely. once in a while, sure. but not routinely.
maybe you will catch a star, now and then.

of the entire SEC, only LSU has the luxury of home grown talent at the level necessary, and KEEPS it at home.

Georgia has the most players and does not keep them at home.
Bama has 8 from Georgia and 8 from Bama.
