Preseason Top 10

So college football season is upon us again. i am going to try to do better and post a few times a week during the season. Here is my first post of the season: My top 10 preseason

1) LSU: I know they loose the Honey Badger and it will be huge hole in the defense, but they still have 9 jrs and 1 soph starting for you with out TM starting.They have Zach Mettenberger starting at QB this year, which is a drastic up grade over last year and have a ton of rbs. They will be a fun team to watch.

2)ALABAMA: I know they loose alot of D, but they have 5 returning starters plus the addition of Xzavier Dickson, who will be a household name by week 3, he is that good  and is replacing Upshaw. They have the best Oline in the country and have Lacey running the ball this year. They will be tough.

3)USC: Kippin has these guys primed and ready to make a run at the national Championship. Led by Barkley, Woods, and Lee on O and returning 9 starters as well, this will be a high octane fun O to watch.

4)OKLAHOMA: They have 15 starters back this year 8 on O and 7 on D and are led by Landary Jones, who showed last year when he gets hot he can lead them to victory. They have 1 game on the schedule that is very interesting to me, November 17th @WV.  If they are still in the National Title hunt in November this game is HUGE!!!!!!

5)OREGON: I know I know, they lose Thomas and James, 2 high powered weapons on Offense, but Chip Kelly seems to be able to roll body after body into that O and not miss a beat. I think this happens again this year.

6)GEORGIA: Some might think is too high for the Dogs from Athens, but let me tell you something these guys are loaded> I know they have a few suspension issues heading into the MIZZ game week 2, but let's look at something, MIZZ has 3 freshman on the OLINE and against Brown and Gathers, good luck with that. Georgia is loaded and as talented as any team in the nation.

7)FLORIDA STATE: This team usually comes in way over hyped and has fallen flat on tis face the last few years. But Jimbo is doing being things at FSU, and I think the Noles could make a run at National Championship. They key word here "could", doesnt mean they will.

8) CLEMSON: They are loaded on O, they have the triplets on O Boyd, Ellington and Watkins and could put up some major points. They also have a date with FSU very early in the season to determine their fate, get by @FSU and you could make a run for an ACC championship, lose to FSU and it could be a long season.

9)WISCONSIN: They loose Wilson, which will be a big loss, but they have Bell who returns to run the ball and this kid is pretty darn good. I think the Big 10 or Big 12 whatever it is calling itself these days is down this year, with Michigan and Ohio State still a year or 2 away. Wisconsin starts off at 9 and the Big 10 is theirs to win.

10)ARKANSAS: The loss of Booby Petrino still keeps this team in the top 10 at 10, but if he is still coaching they are at 6 or 7. I think the loss of him as an offensive mind hurts alot, but when you have the weapons as they do on O, they are going to scare some people. They get both Bama and LSU at home, this could be a year to make a run with all of Bobby Ps players still in tact.
