CFN's Early Preseason Top Ten for 2004...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. USC ? QB Matt Leinart and WR Mike Williams return and the Trojans are set to dominate for a long time. :clap:

2. LSU ? Many of LSU's best players were young and don't forget how Nick Saban has recruited the last two years.

3. Ohio State ? The Buckeyes lose a solid leader in quarterback Craig Krenzel, but plenty of young players saw time this season.

4. Georgia ? An experienced offensive line and QB David Greene's return gives the Bulldogs a lot of ammunition.

5. Oklahoma ? Heisman Trophy winner Jason White said he is returning for the 2004 season.

6. Florida State ? Love him or hate him, FSU quarterback Chris Rix is returning and he has one of the most talented backfields in the country supporting him.

7. Miami ? The Hurricanes need to figure out how to be effective throwing the ball again.

8. Florida ? The Gators showed a lot of improvement, but the pressure will be on Ron Zook to take Florida to the next level.

9. Texas ? The Longhorns have a franchise quarterback in Vince Young, but he has to become a bigger passing threat.

10. Oregon ? Weak nonconference schedule, 14 returning starters and no USC. What's not to like?

Ok some people need their heads examined.

Texas is a joke & will underachieve again.

I think the top 2 listed could easily be in opposite roles depending on who you ask. They do belong up that high though.

Hmm my Gators have talent to be a top 10 team but being unbiased, I am not sold on Zook getting the job done. I think he will turn out to be a great recruiter but teams don't get rewarded for winning recruiting titles, just ask Mack Brown.

Georgia has a good shot to do some damage next season considering how they played ahead of schedule.

Hmm Oregon is a question mark. Belotti must get rid of the 2 QB rotation as that won't help them at all.

Florida State has Rix back there & until he can prove he can win the big games, I will question how far they can go.

Miami has to get their offense back on track as if they do, watch out as they have the D to go back to the title game.
