Well, I know that I am at least within one ranking in prognosticating where my two favorite teams will finish. Foolishness you say? Perhaps it is so brilliant that it just blew your mind.

I'll give you a 10 for your BYU/Florida rankings, and a 3 on your ability to rank the rest.

1. Notre Dame (just kidding)

1. Oklahoma - Bradford may be the best college qb next year, they have a stellar offense and some star incomers - DeMacro Murray is a star at RB http://www.gnextinc.com/ou/schedule.html

No Missouri on the schedule, Texas tech, Nebraska, Kansas at home
could go undefeated - and they have the only Stoops that can coach

2. Georgia - Richt may be the most under-appreciated coach in America (besides Bronco)
Knowshon Moreno is the real deal

3. USC - Reload but not scary reload like in the past

4. Clemson - solid top to bottom

5. Virginia Tech - Better than people give them credit

6. LSU - Perriloux gets his head on straight, this team could win it all

7. Ohio State - Very good team, that we know will get overwhelmed by a better one in their bowl game

8. Missouri- somewhat overrated to be honest, lots of offense coming back, no defense - will miss Tony Temple more than they think (no defense = losing tight games)

8. West Virginia - could be better, depends on coaching transition, they have the horses

9. Auburn - great defense, loaded team also transitioning a bit

10. Arizona St. - Very good but incredibly unfavorable schedule - at Cal, at USC, even at Arizona (you don't want to play your rival on the road - like us this year)

11. Florida - Tebow and Urban - good enough to compete with the studs they bring in every year

12. Texas - I don't like them but really favorable schedule - and they are Texas
http://www.orangeblood.org/Sports/foot/2008/2008.tx.foot.html

13. Kansas - again overrated - I would want to play them but they are returning an offense that beat Va Tech in the Orange Bowl

14. Penn State - loaded - is Paterno a liability now?

15. BYU - Unfair if we don't get in this area to start

16. Texas Tech - crazy nuts offense, Crabtree = Heisman, scoring records shattered (tough schedule)

17.Wisconsin - always a threat, well coached, huge home field advantage, giant linemen

18. Illinois - Benefit from weak bottom of Big 10 - wellcoached - have homerun threats

19. Pitt - Wannstedt finally has a top 20 team and an all american rb

20. Tennessee - Because I refuse to put Fresno State, Boise State, or Oregon in my top 20

considered:
Alabama, Michigan State, Utah, Virginia, Boston College

Your post was great till I saw you consider the "Red Team" from the North, then I about put my fork in my eye.

Ohio State plays the Tinkletoes ballet school for the blind for their out of conference games,blah, blah blah.... Speed kills!

USC is a bit better than your assessment about the blind school but you were spot on about the Drug Comment.

Rackem - I hate Utah as much as anyone, but it's not unrealistic to admit they're going to be good and honestly might be the best team we play in the regular season. Utah beating Michigan might help us more than any game all year (it's really a win win as if they lose i can celebrate too).

I'm torn between hating the BCS and knowing we might need Utah to perform well to bust in or my hatred for all things red. Close call.

Aside from their bipolar head coach and wishy washy qb play, Utah brings a lot of players back and has some depth. I wouldn't be completely surprised if we were both undefeated come Thanksgiving if Utah can pull an Appalachian State at the big house.(ewww, the more i think about Utah fans celebrating that one, the more I'm opposed to it)...

You're right, I just hate to give them "ANY" credit what-so-ever...It's my "BLUE BLOOD" talking more than any thing.
The Ute's have a chance to do some special things this year. Just as long as we wreck it come game day in SLC.
