I hope Florida does better. Miami too. College football is more exciting when Florida, Florida State, and Miami are all powerhouses.

I don't. I want Ray Ray McCloud to pick UCLA on Monday and stick.

It's more exciting for the residents of Florida.

Personally I hope florida goes 4-8 again

I think florida will have between 4-8 wins this year.

48 is also the amount of yards passing Georgia Southern had in their win over UF, oh wait that was 0.

48 is the amount of people Aaron Hernandez murdered.

48 is how many times Urban Meyer said he needs to retire to spend time with his family in his departing UF press conference.

 

[FDAS]

48 is the number of jorts Kerwin Bell owns.

 

[gump]

If I'm a Nole, I want UF to win 9 and keep Coach Boom around.

 

[Premier]

I'm at Gator Night at the Trop, which means the Rays should score between 4-8 runs.

Jim Mora hopes Brett Hundley doesn't get "black quarterback stereotype":

Coaches poll is out: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/polls/

1. FSU

2. Alabama

3. Oklahoma

4. Oregon

5. Auburn

6. Ohio State

7. UCLA

8. Michigan State

9. South Carolina

10. Baylor

 

[Quez]

It looks like FSU should have a pretty easy way back into the NC Game. #16 Clemson, and #17 Notre Dame are the only Ines that made the list. However, Miami, Louisville, and UF could all look like better teams by the time they meet.

Dorial Green-Beckham is a Sooner.

Nice gamble by Stoops.

OU is confident DGB will be cleared...using the 'run off' clause. ETA link: http://alabama.247sports.com/Bolt/Oklahoma-Very-Confident-in-Green-Beckhams-Waiver-Chances-30003028

The Oklahoman's Jason Kersey reported Friday that Oklahoma officials are "very confident" about Dorial Green-Beckham's chances to gain an NCAA waiver to play immediately.

Oklahoma is still waiting on documentation from Missouri before it can file its appeal. But when the Sooners do file, they plain to use the "run-off" waiver, per Kersey, one that was created for players who were removed from programs for reasons "beyond their control."

Green-Beckham's chances of receiving the waiver could be increased by the fact that he wasn't ever charged in the incident that saw him kicked off Missouri's team.

 

[Quez]

Oklahoma is a lock to make the playoffs with that garbage schedule. #21 K-State & #24 Texas are the only challenges on the schedule.

Baylor?

 

[Quez]

Oh missed them.

 

[timschochet]

Surprised LSU didn' make the top 10, or Georgia or Stanford.

And was Missouri a one year wonder?

 

[Christo]

Oh missed them.

And just when you think OSU is having a down year they make the OU game their NCG. Luckily they get them in Norman this year.

Oh, and the Bama fan can GFH for laughing at anything OU does with all the #### they pull in Tuscaloosa.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Surprised LSU didn' make the top 10, or Georgia or Stanford.

And was Missouri a one year wonder?

Mizzou's success last year had a lot to do with the pass rush led by Kony Ealy and Michael Sam and the passing game featuring WRs DGB, L'Damian Washington and Marcus Lucas. All are gone, so those are big shoes for them to try to fill. They do however return some good starters, most notably promising QB Maty Mauk who filled in superbly when Franklin was out.

 

[Premier]

I am actually shocked the voters pay enough attention to not have Missouri ranked where they ended last year.

 

[gump]

Surprised LSU didn' make the top 10, or Georgia or Stanford.

And was Missouri a one year wonder?

The knock on LSU you will hear is the amount of talent they've lost in the last 2 years, and inexperience at QB. I think they're underrated though...and the schedule is decent.

UGA's issue is defense and that they start with Clemson at @SoCar in the first 3 weeks. They'll swing WAY up quickly if they're 3-0.

Don't know much about Mizzou, other than the loss of DGB and the other top 2 WR...and both DE's.

 

[gump]

Oh, and the Bama fan can GFH for laughing at anything OU does with all the #### they pull in Tuscaloosa.

Ive never heard of a 'run-off waiver'...but trying to use it in this case is pretty funny.

So Mizzou ran off DGB, for reasons out of his control?

So close it hurts. Nothing better than LSU being underrated. If we get good QB play (Cam, I'm looking at you) then look out.

I just want to type this for future reference. "Kendell Beckwith". We'll talk about him later.

 

[timschochet]

It seems to me that the past has proven that LSU wins a lot even without good quarterback play. They just beat a lot of teams 19-10 instead of 38-10.

True...and they have the best frosh RB in America. But they also lost 20 kids to the NFL in the last 2 years...so I'd guess they're pretty young overall.

SEC! SEC! SEC!

 

[timschochet]

Yeah I'd say they're underrated. If LSU played Baylor, would you really pick Baylor?

 

[NIU Kicker]

The reason why I like LSU as a sleeper this year is because of the bones of the team. They lost the QB, RB and two WR big losses for sure. That said the O-Line and most of the D is back.

They will have raw talent at the skill positions. If they gel I think they will be a very scary team. If feel a lot better as Wisconsin playing them in week one compared to A&M who gets LSU in week 14.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Yeah I'd say they're underrated. If LSU played Baylor, would you really pick Baylor?

Sure, why not. I think that would be a really good game actually.

 

[Premier]

Weird you guys are all getting excited when we already know the champ is going to be repeating.

 

[timschochet]

Sure, why not. I think that would be a really good game actually.

Baylor has a fine quarterback and they score a lot, but I don't think they can handle a real physical opponent. I think they'd get shoved around and it wouldn't be that close, really.

 

[timschochet]

Weird you guys are all getting excited when we already know the champ is going to be repeating.

Florida State has an easy schedule and they're likely to run the table. So they'll probably be in the playoff. If Florida State were in a real conference like the SEC or PAC-12, things might be a little more difficult. Also, it helps to have The Citadel on your schedule. UCLA doesn't play teams like that.

TCU played LSU tough in Baton Rouge lat year, Baylor beat them in Fort Worth. There isn't a lot of difference between Baylor and LSU, expect for style. Also you realize you are posting under your Tim alias, right Joe T?

UCLA also doesn't win national titles or conferences. Or be relevant.

Fsu also has a tougher SOS than UCLA but when have you ever been right about anything?

I thought Joe T was an Auburn fan. Who cares about his opinion; he knows nothing about college football anyhow. (Even less about politics, but that's a different story). Maybe you're right. I have no love for LSU. If they played Baylor, believe me I'd root for Baylor to kick their ###. I just think LSU is probably too tough for them.

Well first off, when it comes to college football, the last time I was right was last year, when I correctly picked more bowl game spread winners than anyone else here and took first place. Second, maybe UCLA would be more relevant if only they were willing to play more FCS opponents like The CItadel and Furman- oh wait- UCLA has NEVER played an FCS team. Or maybe UCLA would be more relevant if they didn't have any recruiting standards and allowed any illiterate criminal who applied to attend college- you know, kind of like Florida State.

But I admire that the Seminoles have Notre Dame and Florida on their schedule- it makes up for having Wake Forest and Virginia in your conference.

I don't care what you admire. Your program sucks, is irrelevant and your conference never wins #### because they get pushed over by the big boys when it matters. Enjoy the Sun Bowl.

Pretty weak response Premier.

Hey, the Bruins get to play Virginia week one. Guess they'll get to know what it feels like to be one of the "relevant" teams. lol

No they won't. Because they'll end the season in the Sun Bowl.PS Washington State, Cal and Utah, dweeb.

And BTW, Brett Hundley is a better quarterback and pro prospect than Winston. (Not to mention human being).
