After the showing against Utah, I have very serious doubts about the quality of Bama's O line and add to that a QB that has no real playing time.

2. PSU is too low. They were 1 game away from going to the NCG last year and even though they lost most of their receiving corps from last year they will still be very strong offensively. They also get back an All-American LB that sat out last year with injury.

3. Florida MUST go undefeated to have a shot at another NC. A loss with their easy schedule should knock them completely out of the running.

4. LSU is too low. They have a QB now and that will make up for their losses on defense. Jefferson Jackson is the real deal in college football.

5. ND should not be ranked at all and Ore St. should be in their place. Ore St. is actually my pick to win the PAC-10 this year if the Rogers brothers can stay healthy all year.
lol I guess the fact that the whole left side of the line (#1 draft pick andre smith was suspended due to his uncle talking to an agent, and a senior left guard) were injured. Thats the side they ran behind ALL year. Yes Glen Coffee is gone... BUT mark ingram (#22, stud... reminds me of Emmit Smith) and the #1 recruited RB in the country last year are filling his shoes. John Parker Wilson I never have been a big fan of. He crumbled under pressure. Mcelroy is looking decent, and with #8 (Julio Jones) catching passes he is sure to look very impressive. Oh and remember that badass defense we had last year?? we only lost 2 players... so it should be top three in the country. Time will tell my friends
