NCAA Football

I am now a bigger NCAA fan than NFL fan (thanks to the Miami Dolphins). Here is my top 15 at this point.

1) USC: Too much talent. I can see Cal and Oregon scaring them, but not winning.

2) LSU: I don't think they'll stay here all year, but don't know who will beat them. Probably Arkansas the last week.

3) OU: Bob Stoops has his team under the radar and ready for another trip to a big BCS to get routed.

4) UF: Too young to go undefeated, but talent-wise they're as good as anyone in the country.

5) CAL: Under the radar, but should be undefeated going into USC. Ask Tennessee if they are for real.

6) WVU: Not enough defense, and now that South Florida has added another tough team on the schedule I don't see them going undefeated.

7) PSU: Joe Pa has a good chance to be in the Rose Bowl this year.

8) Texas: To many athletes not to be a factor in the BCS.

9) Rutgers: I love this team, but they will lose at least one and that is probably one too many for a Big East team.

10) Clemson: They always find a way to give a few games away, will this be the year they live up to their potential??

11) Oregon: Not too sure about the Ducks, we'll find out against USC and Cal later on.

12) Hawaii: Probably going to be undefeated and in a BCS. That will make for an exciting game if it is Hawaii vs WVU.

13) OSU: Not sold on the gators whipping boys. We'll see later against PSU and Wisconsin.

14) Wisc: Ok, Faulkner played a team that played the Citadel, who played with Wisconsin for 3 quarters, enough said.

15) Lou: Losing to Kentucky hurts, but I could still see them winning the Big East.



On the rise:

USF: Beating Auburn lost some luster last week, but I think they are for real.

The other USC: Spurrier gets a real test this week @ LSU.

Arkansas: I know they lost a game they shouldn't have, but Mcfadden makes them a threat in the SEC West.



About to drop:

Alabama: With Georgia and FSU on the schedule I see a split at best.

Kentucky: Now its time to play in the varsity level.

Texas A&M: The Big 12 North is awful again.
