It better return damn quick with the first 4 games being:

@ FSU
GT
@ VT
OU

And I'll go with Baylor as my sleeper as the Bears get back to a bowl game in the first time in a long fricking time.

Miami's schedule is too hard to really have a breakout year even if they are a lot better

If LA Tech opens 4-0, then they should play in a BCS Bowl game.

Most people have them in the top 10. They're hardly a sleeper.

I think they may end up being the most overrated

They won't contend for a title, but Baylor could get to 6 or 7 wins this year and spring an upset. Great QB and they are returning almost all of their starters.

I genuinely think LSU qualifies as a sleeper this go around.

Agreed. Baylor and Stanford are two sleeper teams for me that might be in the top 25 by the end of the year

I see your point but they always tend to fly under the radar due to OU and Texas. They are loaded so if they are going to do anything special, it needs to happen now.

sleeper may be too strong a word.

LSU...

j/k

I like Nebraska this year. OU is the only "guranteed" loss on their schedule. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they play Tex or Okl State this year.

Pre-season top ten rankings do not a sleeper make.

I think that Duke can be another of those teams that surprise people and go bowling.

yeah they have the best Big-12 schedule. No OSU or UT and OU at home. They go to Blacksburg in the non-con so that'll be a tough one

Miami may very well start their season at 1-3 or 0-4.

I base it off of because everyone is chalking up the SEC title game as Florida-Alabama, or even Florida-Ole Miss.

I think when you're widely expected to finish third in your own division, you can qualify as a sleeper.
