Double Extra Point
Some quick hits:
LSU is over-ranked by everyone. Don't feel bad.
Louisville may be a bit of a gamble. Kragthorpe is effective, but not for 2 more years. Also, good talent teams with a new coach always seem to tank. (See NU, 199
Florida is low, but everyone in the SEC will beat each other up worse than a Penn State Burglary Party.
Oklahoma is to be feared. In the same manner as last year: 11-2 out of nowhere. Paul Thompson may have been a larger factor than we know. Allen Patrick will blow out his knee after Week 8.
Thanks for putting Wisconsin in their right place. Though, Everidge went to my high school in Omaha (Papillion), so I want him to do well.
Drop Hawaii. Now. (SMQ breaks 'em down, nicely.)
Mizzou?! You are too bold, sir. But I will take the extra motivation. (See Big 12 media picks and your own comments.)
Bama. Shit, I thought they would still troll around in mediocrity this year. The WWL (Maisel) will tell you otherwise...
UCLA will implode this year. I honestly hope Norvell went there for his wife's sake, and not Dorell's.
What? No Boise State? They got all the trick-plays, broseph!
the only point i disagree with there is your Hawaii perspective. look at their schedule and factor in Colt Brennan who will be a good NFL QB. other than that u are dead on all those statements.
they will be undefeated i think. BCS game vs LSU, Texas, Cal who knows. but we can only hope for another Boise St, and OU game again.
You have a lot more faith in Mizzou than I do. I'm ranking Florida a lot higher because they're last year's national champs, and that's the way I do it.
Otherwise, your guess is as good as mine. Boise State should probably be ranked.
Thanks guys for the comments. Let me stew some more on it and see if I come up with a second draft.
After the way Michigoon disintigrated down the stretch, 3rd is WAAAAY too high. We found out last year the Big Ten was severely overrated, and I wonder if the same won't happen this year.
Hawaii is going to be an enigma this season. Nobody will play them so they play nobody. If they cruise undefeated, I hope they get a BCS bid if only to figure out how good they really are.
I did a 'quick-sim' on NCAA 2008, and the computer put Nebraska and Hawaii in the Fiesta Bowl: 41-22, 'skers. Nice.
