With another year of college football on the horizon, the time has come to start your preseason polls. With the AP poll coming out in a week, I think this is a good time to release my top five.
#1 USC Trojans
It’s a good time to be a Trojan in the college football world. They are absolutely LOADED on defense, and Coach Pete Carroll is in one good position this year.
If they can beat out Ohio State in this year's early season contest of college football powerhouses, you should see USC in Miami this January (providing Stanford doesn't show).
Strengths: Another year of strong recruiting (with one more on the way, USC landed QB Matt Barkley, considered by many the No. 1 recruit in the 2009 class) gave USC strong position for years to come. What is considered the best running back situation in the nation will give this team a huge boost. The defense is led by monsters Rey Maualuga and Brian Cushing who could have up to four potential All-Americans. The defense will give offensive coordinators nightmares.
Weaknesses: Even tough Mark Sanchez has some game time experience from last year; they don't have a favorable position at the quarterback spot. Also, losing DT Sedrick Ellis and DE Lawrence Jackson will make the D-line a spot for offensive coordinators to look at when playing USC's tough Defense.
Overview: Look for USC to claim their seventh consecutive Pac-10 title this year. A victory against Ohio State in the Coliseum would make USC look like they were already national champs.
#2 Georgia Bulldogs
This team could bring a third consecutive national title to the SEC, if they can survive a rigorous schedule. RB Knowshon Moreno is good enough to easily be the second consecutive sophomore Heisman winner.
If the Dawgs can complete this schedule without a scratch mark, they can truly be called the best team in the land.
