Laying down the Season

Alright here it is, everything I say should be taken as pure fact and I would suggest basing your betting decisions upon it. So, that said my top 25:

1. Texas - That's right, I just put Texas on top of USC. One week ago I would not have made this call, but after seeing the way Vince Young and the entire Texas offense played against Ohio State's defense I believe at this point and time they would beat USC in head-to-head competition. Game to watch this season: Well, there's not one. They faced there toughest test in Ohio State and should easily roll over OU; Texas goes undefeated.

2. USC - With Matt Lienart and Reggie Bush heading up your prolific offense it's hard to bet against. USC is definitely the best team in the nation outside of the great state of Texas. Game to watch: Notre Dame on Oct. 15th.

3. Virginia Tech - Marcus Vick is really coming out. The man can pass. I believe Marcus will develop into a better passer than his older brother Michael, and of course he's not too bad with his feet. Games to watch: Georgia Tech on Sept. 24th and Miami on Nov. 5th. VTech should roll otherwise.

4. Tennesse - This is one team that I feel is real good right now, but fact of the matter is that have to be consistently amazing. This team has quiet possibly one of the toughest schedules in the nation along with those Gators, facing 4, that's right 4 top ten teams as well as a pretty good South Carolina team. Games to watch: How bout the whole season.

5. LSU - Alright, LSU is sneaking into this spot because of there defense. Defense wins championships and I believe LSU has a pretty good one. Games to watch: Tennesee on Sept. 24th and Florida on Oct. 15th.

6. Georgia - I realize this team had a rough go against South Carolina and wound up only beating them by 2, but I believe that says much more about South Carolina rather than Georgia. This is an all around strong team, watch out. Game to watch: Tennesee on Oct. 8th.

7. Florida State - Florida State has an easier road in the ACC than it's SEC in state rival Florida. I don't see too many problems for this team until that season finale. Game to watch: Florida on Nov. 26th.

8. Florida - This is a strong season for the SEC, it's real tough at this point to see who's going to come out of there on top, but this Florida team had a real shot at it. They have a decent quaterback in Chris Leak and a pretty good receiver in Chad Jackson who's already nabbed 4 TDs. Games to watch: Tennesee on Sept. 17th and LSU on Oct. 15th. Look out!

9. Notre Dame - O boy, the fightin' Irish have slipped back in the top ten. I really like Charlie Weis, he's an excellent coach and has done an excellent job getting this team into the top ten. At this point I believe this team is better than many, with an offense that's clicking well and a defense that has surpised a lot of people, especially in the secondary (Tom Zbikowski, Safety). Game to watch: USC on Oct. 15th.

10. Ohio State - This team gets my number 10 nod. I still believe this is a very good team; defense is amazing and offense isn't too bad either. There one lose doesn't hurt simply because it came from the best team in the nation. Keep an eye on these guys. Game to watch: Michigan on Nov. 19th.

11. Georgia Tech
12. Purdue
13. Michigan
14. Miami
15. Arizona State
16. Louisville
17. Texas Tech
18. Boston College
19. California
20. Clemson
21. Iowa State
22. Oklahoma
23. Virginia
24. South Carolina
25. Utah

Conferences
1. SEC
2. Big XII
3. ACC
4. Big Ten

Big XII North
1. Iowa State - Without a doubt #1, in fact I see no reason why this team would get more than 2 loses, Nebraska and A&M

2. Nebraska - 3 loses for the alright team: Pitt, Tech, and o yeah Baylor

3. Colorado - 5 loses for this one: Miami, A&M, Texas, Iowa State, Nebraska

4. Missouri - 6 loses: New Mexico, Texas, OSU, Iowa State, Nebraska, Kansas State

5. Kansas State - They are most definitely hurting with their loses on offense. 5 wins misses the bowl game.

6. Kansas - Isn't this a basketball school?

Big XII South
1. Texas - 100% undefeated Big XII Champs.

2. Texas Tech - It looks a little better every year for the team. With a guaranteed lose to Texas, this team only finishes with one lose unless Nebraska can pull something out following last year's 70-10 massacre.

3. Oklahoma - With it's pourest performance in recent year's OU loses 5 games including 3 big XII; Texas, Texas Tech, and Nebraska

4. Texas A&M - This team will roll to the season's end until taking 3 straight loses, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Texas. Rough ending indeed.

5. Baylor - Slipping out of last place for the first time in a long time Baylor takes 5 wins including the tiebreaker over OSU.

6. Oklahoma State - Not a good year, 5 wins and lose to Baylor to secure last place.

Denis, Texas above USC? Or even LSU? Honestly, c'mon. And Virginia Tech #3? You said me putting Arizona St. in my top 10 was ballsy, that is WAY ballsy. Do you really thing Va. Tech can beat, Tennesse or LSU? And in fact, I think Ohio State and Florida would probably shut them down, too.

Don't get me wrong, Marcus Vick is the man.

But the rest of his team isn't.

Arizona State deserves to be way up there, it took LSU making a 30 yard pass on 4th and 10 to win. Think about that. They proved their worth, and I think USC isn't going to have their troubles at Oregon or Cal, but definitely with Arizona St.

I think you have the wrong team at number 1 USC should be there all the way. Texas only won the Rose Bowl last year because Vince Young grabbed them threw them on his shoulders and ran like a mad man. IF he goes down it falls. As to Texas Tech losing there bah if Tech hits all cylinders it will be a good game and tech and will win because Texas will underank us as always.
