I don't see Clemson being in the Top 10 for the entire season. South Florida will most likely implode again and drop out of the Top 25 before the end of the season. West Virginia is a big question mark to me... I don't know if they will be better or worse w/o Rich Rodriquez. Please share your comments :crazy:

Clemson always loses a game they shouldn't every year. Georgia, while probably the best team will be hard pressed to obtain that no. 1 ranking all year because of their brutal schedule.

I just hope we don't see Ohio State again this year. I believe they are worse then Florida and Georgia. It would really peeve me to see them make it over a one loss SEC team and possibly a two loss.




In the end, i hate rankings this early. It can cripple teams that start un ranked. Remember Auburn from a few years ago, they went 12-0 in the SEC and didnt make the national championship lol. I also believe they could be a darkhorse.

I am a huge Ohio State fan. I believe if they go undefeated the entire season they should be given a 3rd chance at the National Championship. The AP will probably agree w/ that because if we do go undefeated this year. That means we have a high quality road win against USC who the critics say is the best team at the end of the year every year. I am really excited about this upcoming season.

For some reason I think Missouri and Kansas will be flops this year. I think their miracle years are over with for awhile... They could proof me wrong, but people will be looking out for them this year. Its a lot easier to do what they did last year when you don't have a large target on your back.

Don't wont to get in a flame war or anything, but I think the only way Ohio State should get in is if they go undefeated. They need to beat USC to do that of course and thats gonna be tough. Two years ago they had a good team and got beat down pretty badly. Last year they were kinda a suprise and in the second half of the championship game they got beat down. I do think they have a better team this year, but still not on par with the the quality of the SEC.

Ohio State is the whipping boy for the SEC. I hope that they do not get in the title game this year. Getting your ass whipped two years in a row does not warrant a third try.

 

[Airou]

Penn state? I mean seriously? Lets see who the players there decide to stab and beat up or rob from...

Lol jk XD

BUt seriously i think Miami (FL) is gonna finish in the top 25, the clearly had the best recruiting class maybe a couple will make a splash

You never know until they play the games. Florida got beat by the Team Up North last year during their bowl game. Anything can happen any given Saturday. Last year we got lucky. I will admit that. We weren't a true championship quality team. I think this is the year we can get over the hump again.

I had no confidence going into that game with Michigan as a Florida fan our Defense was horrible because of lack of experience. Michigan was playing their hearts for Coach Lloyd and actually had a insane Offense.
I had high hopes for Florida going into spring practice but with the loss of Dorian Munroe(out for year, Safety) and Jamar Hornsby(don't ask :/) and recently Cornelius Ingram(ACL tear in practice tuesday, out for season) I'm starting to think we might be in bad shape.

Glad people are finally seeing the dominance of the SEC...3 of the top 6 are SEC teams. Florida's defense needs to step up big time for them to have any success - it was key in their championship run and it will be key if they want any chance at an SEC title and more.

I really can't believe Ohio State and Texas keep getting put up there though...when will people learn? And does anyone honestly think Oregon will do jack shit with Dixon and Stewart gone? Come on lol.

South Florida might actually be able to step it up another notch this year. They didn't really lose anyone too vital and have a lot more experience dealing with pressure now. I'm a Gator, but I'm definitely intrigued by USF. Grothe and Ford have a lot of potential and their coach is a bamf.

Team Up North is terrible. We are going to spank them again this season.

The SEC usually has 5-6 teams in the Top 20...

Ohio State wasn't a championship quality team last year, but was a solid team all season long. It wasn't their fault that Missouri and WVU crumbled under the pressure. Texas and Ohio State usually have really good teams and Ohio State bringing back 20/22 starters. They belong in the top 10. Also you forget that both have won a BCS Championship in the past 7 years.
