a big time program like lsu or fsu should not play such a soft ooc schedule as they are playing this year...

i understand lsu playing tulane & maybe even troy...but to play app. st.(i know they beat michigan) & n. texas is shameful, imo.

I've heard alot about Clemson this year... If the Tigers are as strong as everyone says they are... then I like Clemson making alot of noise in the fall. Haha I also like my dawgs in the fall ( homer )... but I seriously think they follow up their break out season last year with another one.

Before 2007 I though UNC would break out a bit more then they did but they do have a lot of talent and should make some waves in the ACC. Looking at that conference you Duke that even under a new coach is a few years if even that away from being a player. BC loses Ryan and I think they will drop a few pegs. I think Vt is gonna lose on defense but taylor with another year will play better.Clemson should be in the drivers seat while FSU, Maryland and Miami play a little catch up. Dark horse is UVA but they lost some key players on d and o line, still grove can get athlets. Should be a great season, with the craziness of last year.

I would like to say watch out for arizona st with Erickson calling the plays for elway but I think he is a little too young.

So I think my shock will be how oregon rebounds from what they lost to surprise this season. I mean with who they lost they should be flying south but I think they show a little more life.

But thats why they buckle em up
Cheers

I don't have my notes here, but I know Saban ran off his OC
Saban's OC was hardly "ran off". Major Applewhite left Alabama after one season to take a job coaching running backs at Texas. He is being groomed to take over for Mack Brown in a few years.

Texas Tech will light the scoreboard up this year....I know they score some points normally, but Graham Harrell returns for his 3rd year in the system, Crabtree will be even better in his 2nd year, they are loaded with talented wr's.....practically the whole o-line returns.....and the defense has made major improvements......

I have them 9-1 going into the Oklahoma game....Oklahoma will have revenge on their mind, both teams will have a bye leading up to it...barring an upset to kansas or texas(back to back weeks), OKlahoma should be 10-0, 9-1 leading up to this game...this game "should" decide the Big 12 south and what a beauty it would be........I like Ttech to win the the South and play Missouri in the North......yes its a possibility that Ttech or Missou are playing for the BCS championship

oh yeah, i cant wait either


Ive been waiting for this game for months....and its finally here......

Tech +7 all day
