Neb and Iowa too high:shrug:

was thinking Nebraska is way too high..

 

[AR182]

Neb and Iowa too high:shrug:

Phil Steele has Nebraska rated even higher at #5 & he notes that Neb. doesn't face a Top 25 team on the road this year.

He rates Iowa at #14 & he says that they also don't play their toughest foes on the road.

TCU should definitely be in the top 5.... They are returning everyone but 3 or 4 starters....

I agree. TCU will have to stay in the top 5 from beginning to end in order to make it to another BCS Bowl.

dont usually give them a lot of the credit they probably deserve, but I do beleive this year boise st is gonna be tough too beat. Pretty much the same unbeaten team from last year and kellen moore looked pretty dang good last year

This may just be my bias, but I really believe Boise St loses a conference game this year. They got into shoot outs with La Tech and Tulsa last year that could have gone either way. Heck, they may lose right out of the box to Va Tech.

My hope is that they beat Va Tech and then lose to Oregon State after TCU beats Oregon State.
