My 2008 College Football Preview

-Carlos Dunlap, a sophomore defensive end for the Florida Gators will lead the SEC in sacks, and will be 2^ndin America in sacks only to South Florida’s George Selvie.

-Georgia will lose AT LEAST three games in 2008.

-Ohio State will NOT play for their third straight National Championship game.  Their chances will be ruined September 13^th against USC.

-Auburn, with a new offense and their typically strong defense, will win the SEC West.

-Florida will win the SEC and play for the National Championship.

-There will NOT be a “BCS Buster” this year.  Sorry, but Utah, BYU and Fresno State will not all go undefeated.

-Wake Forest will be playing Miami for the ACC Title.

-Georgia Tech’s option offense will be intriguing to watch, and be very successful, and will silence the critics of head coach Paul Johnson’s system not working in a major conference.

-June Jones re-establishes himself as one of the best program builders, as his SMU Mustangs will play in a bowl game and make serious noise in the Conference USA.

-Western Michigan, with all 11 starters returning on defense, will win the Mid-American Conference.

COACHES ON THE HOT SEAT

Every year there are at least a few coaches who have to win immediately or leave.  There is no change in the status quo in 2008.  Not only will a new president be moving into the White House in January of  2009, here are the three coaches most likely to join the Commander-in-chief and relocate come January, pardon the sarcasm:

1.        Greg Robinson, Syracuse – After taking over for Paul Pasqualoni in 2005, all Robinson has done is drive a once-proud program face first into a pile of famed, upstate New York snow.  He has managed to win just 7 games in his three years in Upstate New York, including an impressive 2-10 tally last year, with the lone highlight win coming in a fluke over an overrated Louisville team.  Some nice losses included games like the one against Washington, which saw them get creamed at the Carrier Dome, 42-12.  The only thing that will be beautiful in Syracuse this year will be the snowfall and the Carrier Dome.  Just don’t look inside it during football season.  No worries ‘Cuse fans, Robinson will be gone after this year.
