Very early rankings.



  1. LSU
  2. USC
  3. Oklahoma
  4. Alabama
  5. Florida S.T
  6. Oregon
  7. Ohio S.T
  8. Arkansas
  9. West Virginia
  10. Wisconsin
  11. Michigan
  12. Clemson
  13. Georgia
  14. Notre Dame
  15. Michigan S.T
  16. Florida
  17. TCU
  18. Texas
  19. Stanford
  20. South Carolina
  21. Nebraska
  22. Virginia Tech
  23. Louisville
  24. Kansas S.T
  25. Oklahoma S.T


This doesn't necessarily mean that I think this is the best 25 teams in the country from 1 to 25. This is basically me saying that if I were the one that put out a pre season poll.... It would look something like this.



  your thoughts..........

no Boise, what shocker...but, I agree...By the end of the season, Boise will be back in the rankings...I probably will not place a wager on it, but I think Mich St it is going to have its way with Boise on 31 August 2012...

Can't argue with it too much.  I think Michigan @ 11and TCU are a bit too high.

i think ohio st is too high...within 2 years meyer will have them playing for a nc, but not this year...i would put them no higher than 13th...

in fact, I would switch Ohio St with UGA...yes, Richt is Richt, but when rambo and those other misfits get back, they are going to be a force...

Boise loses too much. Great coached team. But truth is still the truth, only a hand full of guys return. If Michigan s.t is under 7 in that first game.......... Im pounding sparty.

Yeah. I think you know I emphasis alot on experienced QB play. Both teams have very good QB at the college level and that alone is enough for me to give them a little bit of a nod..... Plus you got to look at this and I know you would agree... Both schools have tremendous head coaches. Good Coaching Plus Good experienced QB will take you a long way.

I really think Ohio S.T will be very good this season. A very underrated team.... This team will be very good defensively plus teams in the Big 10 will go through a learning experience playing against Meyer and his offense.

Also nobody had heard of Weeden before last year for Okie St. A decent QB could come in and run that system just as well. All those quick patterns is a lot on the skilled receivers. Plus they have a decent RB too

I agree. Kind of llike OU. Say what you want about them and how they choke and whatever else you want to say...  But they always seem to have efficient offenses year after year. I am sureJosh Heupel, Jason White, Sam Bradford, and Landry Jones are good QBs regardless but in that offensive system it is probably not too difficult to throw any competent guy in there and have him succeed.

Same applies for the successful QBs that Texas Tech has had in years past and for that matter even Hawaii (up until June Jones left).

I like Oklahoma S.T Double.... just not as much as you. Ive said it time and time again. you cant lose the best players on your team and just be the same or better the following year. Its just the way things are.

Crazy!!! That schedule will force there ass to go to a conference sooner then later. 

 I think ND will be pretty good. IMO this is Kelley's best team.

Notice the comparisons here.

Oklahoma. Not a good comparison. Why? There Oklahoma, they have tons of great talent and depth to make the difference. These Super big programs.. (and I consider only about what I would call 10 super programs)  have enough overall talent and depth most of the time to hide some weaknesses.

Hawaii -  again not a good comparison. Why? They play in the WAC.... anymore questions on that?

Texas Tech - Good Comparison. Why? Because when leach was there it's called coaching. He made the difference. Where as there not Oklahoma they have to be able to make a  " difference " some where. Where was it?  Coaching. What about now with Tub's there? Not the same...Why? Coaching
