Not at all:

USC has to play @Ark, NEB, OREGON, CAL, ND, and @ UCLA.

OU...no Bomar, no O-line...

Florida plays UT, LSU, UGA, Auburn, FSU, and South Carolina. Oh, did I mention, Chris Leak is awful in Meyer's offense. Did I also mention, all the seniors on this team were recruited by Ron Zook???

Bama...their offense was almost as poor as ours was last year. This year they do not have Brody Croyle or Tyrone Prothro.

So, even if USC loses 4 of those games, they'll STILL be a top 25 team. And UCLA might have a losing season in 2006, so why even list them? That game won't be close.

Ron Zook was one of the best recruiters in the nation when he was at UF. He just can't coach. Florida does play a very tough schedule, but like USC, they don't lose all of those games.

The 4 teams you listed, I can only agree with 1 MAYBE finishing out of the top 25, and thats Alabama.

UCLA would struggle against Kentucky on a neutral field.

Yup, I'd bet some juicy odds that UCLA finishes worse than 6th in the PAC 10 this year.

Ron Zook was an awesome recruiter. He beat us out for some QB last year at Illinois. USC will destroy UCLA. The Bruins have one of the worst defenses in the country and they lost their two best players in RB Maurice Drew and WB Drew Olsen. Chris Leak may not be the best at running Meyer's offense, but it became better toward the end of 2005. Urban will adjust his scheme to accommodate Leak and they will win some games. They are still overrated, but I highly doubt they'll finish worse than 25. Also Oklahoma could play their 3rd-stringers and still only lose a couple of games in the Big 12. They'll easily make the top 25 at year's end.

Other than some that have already been mentioned (Alabama, Penn State, TCU, OU, etc.), I'm itching to say either Auburn or LSU. I have no particular reason, but just a feeling.

Alabama

That's really all I can confidently pick. Penn State could very well still win 9 games.

I dont think Ohio St will do as well as people are saying. They lost 9 starters on defense.

No problem. I'll be the first one to say it. UT. I am predicting that UT finishes 7-5 this season, and that won't keep them in the Top 25.

I'm honestly surprised it took until post #18 for someone to say Tennessee.

See Im loving this... No one expects bama to do anything this year. The funny thing is we can probably win 7 games with me coaching.... Our new QB is more mobile and also some will argue much better than Brodie. He did break his HS state records. Our offensive line will be much improved as well as have some depth. Our defense will be younger but still have the toughness of a Joe Kines coached D. if we can win half of our away games we will finish no worse than 9-3 and if we beat AU then its 10-2 and still a top 25 team.... Dont be suprised.... Our schedule was designed to help in the post probation world.
