    LOL. USC poised for another title run? They're going to have a new starting QB and almost an entirely new offensive line.

    When you mentioned Georgia's tough road schedule, you should have mentioned the neutral site in Jacksonville, FL where they will meet the Florida Gators and all their weapons and bulletin board material. You also called the Florida Gators' defense "mediocre" before fall practice has even begun. If you think that the entire offseason hasn't been spent improving the defense, then you don't understand Urban Meyer and the coaching staff down in Gainesville. The depth on the D-line is very deep and talented especially with DEs Carlos Dunlap and Jermaine Cunningham. There are also some 5 star DTs that will be battling for the top sports. And since they will be making more plays at the line, LB and future NFL star, Brandon Spikes, will be free to do his thing as will the improved corners and dangerously talented safeties.

    USC will be top 10 I am sure, but not #1. Georgia will have a great year, but will need to get there because of their QB Matthew Stafford because teams will be loading the box to contain Heisman hopeful Knowshon Moreno. Ohio State is boring because they keep doing well, but wouldn't get past the Gators if they met them in the Rose Bowl. Clemson got a very generous spot because they have had the running back duo in place for 2 yrs now it seems, so I hope something else is in place to cause them to suddenly be top 10. As long as they beat up on FSU again, I could care less. West Virginia is a risky pick as well even with the talent of Pat White who will end up being an athlete who goes nowhere fast in the NFL and with Noel Devine (he is awesome). The new coach will have a tougher time than some people think. I hope Missouri has a good season. It's good to see teams like that finally rise above mediocrity. LSU is always a strong team is seems. I think even Auburn has a chance to sneak onto this list because they are flying under the radar even though their defense is always amazing, and their new, exciting offense will give them a fresh spark.

    But this was a fun article to read even though people love to rank USC at #1 all the time even though they normally get upset by a garbage team sometime during the season.
