Well duh, that's because auburn only has like two fans and don't type more than "hell yeah" or "war damn eagle".

Hell Yeah!  

SEC bias again with four teams in the top 10?

War Damn Eagle!

Well, the last 2 seasons more sec teams were in the top 10 preseason than post season, we'll see if that trend continues.

AP top 10 of course, I suspect we'll find that the grammar top 10 is similar. L

Why would they drop out?  Most top 10 teams have multiple losses at the end of the year. SOS is taken into consideration by the AP

I'm thinking simple math by just taking the top 2 teams from the 5 power conferences that play each other in the conference championship games. Just throw in the 2 top teams from the Big 12 since no playoff and a sprinkling of other teams from the other conferences occasionally.
That gives you a pretty simple top 10 right there.
It's really hard to have 3 there when it's all over.

Your just ragging on the SEC in all reality for having so many highly ranked preseason year in and year out.
You know, the conspiracy man.

And since the thread is about to start in earnest this week, I'd just like to say now before we all forget about it in the heat of the season that the reason we're all discussing college football on this forum is because despite the different schools we attended or support, we all love guns and freedom.  Wouldn't want to talk football anywhere else, and this is hands down my favorite thread and favorite group of folks on Arf.

Then no one will be surprised. Everyone is picking Utah, but I think michigan has way more talent than people want to give credit for. It wasn't like michigan missed on every single 4 star player they ever recruited under Rich Rod and Hoke. They just didn't have proper coaching and were definitely not being challenged under Hoke.




Harbaugh, by all accounts is competitive to a fault.  He's going to have his players hungry.

I'm very interested in seeing how good Bamas front 7 really are.
I've heard 2 different commentators on ESPN saying they may be the best front 7 ever assembled in college.
Another referred to them as NFL level.

Very true.
When you start listening to and reading all the info that is available these days on team stats, projections, strengths, weaknesses etc, it gets overwhelming very quickly.
Around week 3-4 in the season is when it starts getting easier to see who is for real.
Then a lot of times conference play starts around that time and screws up what you thought you knew from weeks 1-4.

It definitely would be very interesting to see how well each analyst's predictions stacked up against the results.  I've been particularly thinking about how the Fantasy Football talking heads stacked up.  I want to say that the analysts would be doing their own research since their jobs are on the line, but sometimes I just get the gut feeling that they're being fed the info.


Welcome to Team.  You've always been a quality poster, so I've had a feeling it would happen sooner or later.

I dont know if they are NFL level, but they are very talented and good........could possibly the best DL that Bama has had in awhile, now that everyone is healthy and ready to go.........and the secondary will be much more aggressive since Mel Tucker arrived and got them going.

I need to put together a menu for Saturday afternoon/evening.
I'll definitely have to smoke something in my smoker.  Decisions...decisions...hmmm?....


I heard McEvoy tweaked something, but was cleared to play on Saturday.
I guess they have him at WR, but we might see him playing on both sides of the ball.


Should be a slug fest in the trenches.


I'm very interested in seeing how good Bamas front 7 really are.
I've heard 2 different commentators on ESPN saying they may be the best front 7 ever assembled in college.
Another referred to them as NFL level.
That's some bold ass statements.

It definitely would be very interesting to see how well each analyst's predictions stacked up against the results.

You can find sites that track the Gameday Crew's predictions through the years.

Here's one

Just to save you the time of clicking through yourself:

Herbstreit: 61.13%   673-428
Corso:  65.51%   794-418
Lou Hotlz(ph): 63.83%   240-136
Mark May: 60.45%   214-140
Desmond Howard: 65.45%   447-236

Doesn't surprise me that Corso and Desmond Howard are the best and May is the worst, because May has always come across as the biggest butthurt homer around and I've never had much problem with Howard or Corso's commentary.   I actually thought Herbsteit would be higher too.

I might try to take a look at their picks for specific conference match ups later just to see how biased they are, but I have some work to do this afternoon first.
