1. Florida- assuming we don't beat them down in the title game, Tebow has enough hype to account for losng Leak
2. Meechigan- i don't see hart/henne leaving, so offense will be good. Branch might stay, but he's good enough to be a top 10-15 pick this year so who knows
3. LSU- good defense, another year under the belt for Russell (maybe this time he'll figure out that on the last play, when you need a touchdown, you need to throw the ball into the endzone)
4. Texas- Colt McCoy, Sweed, always great recruits and athletes to burn on both sides of the ball. should be ready to go
5. Ohio State- if we're national champs, yeah we lost Smith, Pitcock, Patterson, probably Ginn, maybe Gonzalez, but hell we lost 9 defensive starters from last year and still were preseason no.1, so the media will give us the benefit of the doubt as defending champs to start out top 5
6. USC- still not that impressed with Booty, and they'll lose a couple guys on the line (Baker, standout tackle, and someone else i'm forgetting), and also lose Jarrett and Smith, so we'll see. Defense should be better though.
People will bring up Oklahoma, but exactly what good teams have they beaten on their recent 'hot' streak? I mean, the Big 12 pretty much sucks this year, so to me yeah it's impressive winning w/o peterson/bhomar, but at the same time, they probably still have more talent than their opposition. They haven't beaten even a single top 15 team to my knowledge, so their record is deceiving.
