i got my money on USC this year, undefeated and play Texas in the national championship. Our first half was a little shaky, but thats how it was all year last season so i wasnt worried, Pete Carrol must be the best half time motivator in any sports, because USC really put the hurtin on them in the second half.
USC - Will not be as good with loss of bush and leinart
Texas - will be little of the same with three pretty good running backs, and a good front four d-line but, they will need help in the loss of vince young and matt hoffman (I think)
ND - questionable after almost losing to GT but possible National champs
Clemson - great O-line all 4 returning starters, 3 good runningbacks, a great wide receiver, and the nation's best RE. they will start and finish ranked this season (I'm a Tiger fan ^^)
Oklahoma - will depend heavily on Adrian Peterson. AD All Day. I say he will win heisman if not Notre Dame's QB.
I will come up with more predictions if asked or after seeing a little more from the teams current and past strengths and weaknesses
College Football
I searched and searched and could not find a college football thread...but if I missed it, I apologize.
Wow, I think I watched about 5 games this weekend. Mich/Vandy, Hampton/Grambling (the end at least), Tenn/Cal, ND/GT, and FSU/Miami. Out of all those, I thought if you reversed those games, you'd get most exciting game to least - in that order.
Tennesse looks like they're back. Even witih Ainge they looked strong, and Cal looks like they need some tackling lessons.
I knew Georgia Tech wouldn't lie down. Chan Gailey is good at game-planning for the first opponent of the season (just look at what they did to Auburn the last 2 seasons). It's just the rest of the season that sucks for them.
FSU and Miami Defenses. Wow. 3 freakin' rushing yards combined for both offenses, with Miami winning that stat war by a margin of 2 to 1 yard.
