since TLB and I have been arguing all off season in other threads, I figure that we could argue here - in the home of the official 2010 NCAA football thread!

up above is the Coach's Preseason Top 25. lets start arguing!

I feel like some school will have a big drop off. I see Oregon flailing after a spectacular last season, mostly because they are losing Jeremiah Masoli to the SEC (they will take anybody!) I see Texas dropping big due to losing Colt McCoy, and I see Florida dropping to perhaps the 20 spot. Cincinnati, as well.

I see some teams rising up, as well. Miami, LSU, and Wisco I predict will be slightly better than they are allotted here. I think I can group Virginia Tech into these teams as well. I see Alabama and OSU vying for the top spot throughout most of the season. both the SEC and Big Ten should be above average, so both of these teams can lose - but I don't think that they will. the SEC is Bama's to lose, and I feel that OSU does have a chance of shooting itself in the foot early (Miami or another early, sub-par Big Ten team?)

anyways, it should be a magical season! where all our dreams come true
 
fuckin aye its about time


cant wait

Did you watch the National Championship game?

Garret Gilbert should be legit



Oh, and i cant wait for the Miami OSU game, should be interesting
 
Are you sure that is legit Axl? I can't find that thing anywhere. To think OSU and TT would be ranked but OU not? Something seems fishy here considering OU was voted by the media to win the Big XII and is coming off a good bowl win over a relatively strong Stanford. Moreover, aTm is also considered to be stronger than both of those schools.
 
Not sure where Axl got that, but I found this AP Pre-Season ranking posted JUL 26

I'm pretty sure that that is the final AP poll from last year, not a preseason ranking.

The new A.P poll won't come out until 2 or 3 weeks before the season starts. The BCS poll (the only one that counts) doesn't come out until around October 1st.

I am pretty sure Bama will be #1, OSU #2, and Boise will probably be #3.
 
Yeah, well, that's like tOSU being in the top three, we all know it's got no footing in reality ;)


:jab::jab: ;)


But, seriously, the pre-season rankings are pretty crap indicators given the number of teams that rise and fall throughout the season. It's just something to yammer on about now....which I'll admit, I desperately need. I'm watching recordings of games going back several years (even watch the "Run, Lindsey, Run" game.....I'm that desperate for this season to begin).
 
Making my first trip to Austin for the UCLA/Texas game in late Sept. Can't wait!

I know you were just taking a cheap shot at the Buckeyes, funny thing is, they were actually underrated last year.

That is if you go by the theory that if a team finishes higher in the final poll than they were ranked at the beginning of the year, that would make them underrated, wouldn't it?

And on that note, your Gators were actually overrated last year, finishing lower than when they started.;)

Go Bruins! I hope you have a good time! Going there in 2007 to watch Ohio State face the 'Horns, I can tell Austin is one awesome city!

And I think the power shift will start this year in SoCal!

UCLA's got such a nicer campus than University of Still Cheaters, at leat I thought so when I was in L.A for my honeymoon! And a class act coach to go with the great campus!

Yeah Westwood's a tad better than being in the center of the ghetto.

Slick Rick may not exactly be a real class act but he's a great interview and definitely knows how to be a face of the university.

It's definitely the time now for UCLA to take back the city of LA from the Trojans. Rick knows he can overtake baby Lane even with daddy watching his back.

Yeah, Lane Kiffen is the biggest joke in football. How this guy keeps getting jobs is beyond me. Pretty soon USC is going to be on major probation a second time because of that douche.

Austin is one of the most fine cities in the world. for indie music, small business, and especially college football. the parallels between Columbus and Austin are apparent, and I would not mind living in Austin someday.

OSU is number 2, and deservedly so. they ended the season with gusto. hopefully the Buckeyes don't buy into the hype so much, because they have some heavy games against Iowa, Wisconsin, and The U.

it should be a great season, I have been itching for it for weeks.

as always, THE Ohio State University has a good chance to win the National Championship
