1.Alabama- 2 times champs I hate them but have to respect that.
2. Oregon- the offense wont miss a beat without Chip.
3.Ohio State- Urban knows what he is doing.
4.Georgia- Aaron Murry is a good QB not great paired with young defense.
5.Notre Dame- Wont last here for long.
6.Texas A&M- Johhny is good but not enough for them to stay here too long.
7.Standford- Hell of a coach with very good defense.
8.Clemson- Good team riding high after getting lucky in chicken bowl.
9.Flordia- Great defense but still question QB.
10.Flordia State- lost a lot but have good young players.
11.Louisville- Good team in bad conference.
12.South Carolina- They can only go so far with Clowney carrying them.
13.Oklahoma- They can play offense thats bout it.
14.Boise State- Maybe too high but they always end up here in the end.
15.LSU- Shouldnt be here way to talented but with Cam coming in they should get more out of the offense and defense just reloads and has big year.
16.Texas- Always overated but IMO will be better.
17.Northwestern- Finished season hot and bring back a lot of good players.
18. Nebraska- Bo Pelini is a good coach and QB Taylor needs more help around him.
19.Oklahoma State- Good offense could be sleeper in BIG12.
20.Vanderbilt- Franklin is building something down there.

Can't wait for football season!

No way.

I buy this. Although I think they will get blown out in BCSCG. The Big 10 is a joke.

7.Standford- Hell of a coach with very good defense.


One of the other teams I cheer for, mostly b/c my cousin was a walk on there, and they are never a threat to LSU or other teams I pull for. I hope they do well.

quote:

6.Texas A&M- Johhny is good but not enough for them to stay here too long.


If they get past Bama, I look for them to go unbeaten rest of regular season. The O-Line is almost as good as last year, and they picked up some JUCO's that will play right away on defense. ALso, three of their starting WR are 6' 4" plus. The LSU game will be in BR, but I have a feeling it will be a day game. I'm worried about LSU's ability to score this year with a new offense. (See more below)

15.LSU- Shouldnt be here way to talented but with Cam coming in they should get more out of the offense and defense just reloads and has big year.


I really hope LSU is ranked 15. While LSU will never really be under the radar, not having a target on your back will take some of the pressure off. To be honest, I prefer to cheer for LSU when they are the underdog, it makes the games more fun. If I were betting, I'd bet on Cotton Bowl, but hopefully we will be surprised and do something bigger. Will this be the 4th OC Mett has played under? I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

Place Oregon a lil lower, they WILL miss a beat without Kelly, yet still remains a top 25 team. And i actually have a feeling Ole Miss will find a way to sneak back into the top 25 this year

Hey, wait a minute. The Red Devils have a "Statue" at quarterback.

How does Bama win those National Championships with statues?

AJ McCarron. Statue. Greg McElroy. Statue.

What gives?

my Preseason top 17 would be: Stopped here because eyes hurt.

?Bama(until somebody can soundly knock em off the pedestal, they will remain at top. They reload on defense and the offense should be the best under Saban ever)

?Ohio St(I like what Meyer is doing and from reading about him, Miller has been looking better passing. Pulled in a great recruiting class and plays in the easy 10)

?AtM(Manziel and probably the best OL in the nation now. If that defense can stop anything over 30pts then they'll lose only one game at best)

?Stanford(has been a top 10 team for the past five years and that D aint going anywhere)

?Georgia(lost some LBs and D linemen and they don't just reload, but that offense is super explosive and will continue to be)

?USCe(defense might take a step back losing Swearinger and the guy opposite Clowney on the line but that won't keep them from falling far)

?Notre Dame(I actually like what Kelly is doing and they got the #1 RB in the nation last year in Greg Bryant. They play an easy schedule so easy wins)

?Oregon(loses Chip Kelly and that will definitely have an effect but that offense will not keep them out of the top 10)

?Louisville(shitty conference and single great team means undefeated or 11-1 season)

?LSU(new OC will change everything and since chief has been here, we've had a top 20 defense)

?Florida(lost Elam and Floyd to draft but they are Florida so the D won't take too much of a dip. Don't know about their WRs but the got a good RB coming back and picked up Fred Taylor's son off the recruiting trail)

?TCU (will be the best team in the B12 in 2013 unless Baylor or OSU finds a defense)

?Clemson(lost Ellington and Hopkins and defense is shite)

?Michigan(Devin Gardner is a better passer than Shoelace and they got some good talent coming in on offense, defense is still crap but they have a pretty easy schedule)

?FSU (will have to find a QB to replace Manuel and his backup who left and lost some first round talent to the draft)

?Nebraska(don't really know too much about them, but they should be bringing back at least 15 starters including Martinez)

?Texas (Ash is coming back along with their top RB and WR. Defense wasn't too bad and should get better with a year of experience)

Very good team, with a weak schedule. They have the best shot at finishing undefeated next season.

Top five team by the end of october

lost too much on offense this year give franklin 2 more years of good recruiting and they may break the top 25. I will pull of them since its SEC school except when and if they play LSU.

Early top 20? As in preseason or week 1......


LSU
Oregon should be lower. They'll miss Kelly.
tOSU only because they're always overranked. Braxton Miller is good but if he gets hurt, they're done. Crap, he was knocked out of one game and they almost lost to Purdue last season. I can't see them going undefeated.
Georgia
A&M will be in there. I do think JM will have a Heisman hangover though.
Clemson.... eh.
Bama
OU only because they have the same disease tOSU has. Always overrated. Put Texas in there too.
USCe
Nebraska
Michigan
Stanford
TCU
Ok. State
Louisville
Florida State
