My Preseason Top 25

My Preseason Top 25 2011 College Football Rankings

1. Oklahoma Sooners- Balanced offense, good defense = good enough for me.

2. Alabama Crimson Tide- If a quarterback emerges, this is the best team in football.

3. LSU Tigers- Still not completely sold...but there is so much talent in Baton Rouge.

4. Oregon Ducks- Oregon will thrill, but will their lack of defense hold them hostage?

5. Boise State Broncos- Eh, I'm getting used to this. Boise will win 11 games I think.

6. Florida State Seminoles- Slowly I am buying the hype. I expect good things under Coach Fisher.

7. Wisconsin Badgers- Hype, hype and more hype. On paper, it is the best Badger team EVER.

8. Virginia Tech Hokies- I'm not as high as some national pundits are, but I like this team every year.

9. South Carolina Gamecocks- Offensive fireworks and reliable D is good enough to win the East.

10. Texas A&M Aggies- Wow....I haven't given the Aggies much credit, but they bring back a hell of a team.

11. Stanford Cardinal- Andrew Luck and co. look to knock off the Ducks in the Pac 12.

12. Nebraska Cornhuskers- Second most talent in the Big 10? These guys. But it's a whole new ballgame.

13. Arkansas Razorbacks- My darkhorse national title contender. I LOVE the makeup of the Hogs.

14. Ohio State Buckeyes- More to come in the future...

15. Oklahoma State Cowboys- Their offensive guru is gone, but the fireworks are still in place.

16. TCU Horned Frogs- Defending Rose Bowl champs still have plenty to prove.

17. Georgia Bulldogs- Their schedule sets up nicely, and I like the experience they bring back.

18. Michigan State Spartans- A mystery to me at the moment, but their backfield is stacked.

19. Missouri Tigers- Another sleeper to win a lot of games this year, Mizzou will be tough to beat.

20. Auburn Tigers- Defending champs without Cam Newton = plenty more losses for the Tigers.

21. Penn State Nittany Lions- If they can somehow split @ OSU and @ Wisconsin, they could smell Roses.

22. Texas Longhorns- They keep taking hits, but Mack Brown and the Horns will be more resilient in '11.

23. Notre Dame Fighting Irish- Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh. Too much hype, and I don't buy into them very much.

24. Southern Miss Golden Eagles- A legit BCS contender this season in my humble opinion.

25. West Virginia Mountaineers- They should win a bad Big East. Huge game on 9/24 vs LSU.
