Guessing you are an alabama fan, because they are borderline top 20 not a top 6 team in my mind they lake the defensive line, secondary and WR's to be a top 6 team, GT also should not be a top 20 team. Those really stand out, I think lower WVU, USC, Florida,VT, Texas, Tennessee, and Kansas, Move up TTU, Oregon, USF, Pitt, and Wake and you will be fine, Nice Job.

Thanks for Tennessee at 13! That's better than what most are putting them at.

Bama at 6? this is a joke

No, I did some editing, but they will be the SEC West champs...That 6 spot belongs to Oklahoma.

You have to anticipate this year being another rollercoaster/headache for the BCS. It'l be a lot of fun for me, but a nightmare for casual fans.

Bowl Projections:

Rose: Ohio State over Oregon...decisevly
Sugar: Georgia over Oklahoma....close- maybe UGA will fake a blackout
Fiesta: West Virginia over Missouri..awesome game that goes to OT
Orange: Clemson over BYU...blowout.."This wouldn't happen if we had a p/o!!"
BCS NCG: USC over Florida...about freakin time; matchup & for another USC NC

That OSU USC game is going to be really interesting. USC has homefield advatage and slight on talent. Pete Carrol is better than Tressel in terms of improvising as risking.

On the other hand OSU team has exprience and they have been working toghether for longer. Tressell is a better game planner than Pete Carroll, but he dosen't do well improvising he sticks to his game plan even when not working.

How was the score of that game?

uhh..Im thinking a USC blowout: USC 41 Ohio State 21..close game at half... Buckeye mental errors follow huge runbacks for the Trojans late in the third and early fourth. But I don't think Ohio State will lose a game after that all season.

Wow, no mention of LSU in the top 20? Interesting, Saban comes to Death Valley this year! Can't wait.........................

Not with 4 preseason All-Americans on OSU's roster, bro - and a chip on their shoulder. USC will be tough, but don't sell the Bucks short.
