Phil Steele's preseason mag came out this week, but I have not picked it up yet. Once I do, the summer time, pre-season picking, top-25 editing will begin in earnest. So, to ease into the transition, here's a quick top-10 (or...11...or 12...).
1. Florida - They lost Harvin, but the D's returning 22-deep and speed's never in short supply in G'ville.
2. Texas - The differences between the 'Horns and OU for me is O-line and QB. Bradford shouldn't have won the Heisman and the Sooners should have never been in the BCS Title game. I'll take McCoy and a line with 90+ starts.
3. Ohio State - If Tressel lets Pryor off the leash a bit (like he did in the Fiesta Bowl) things should be coming Roses in Columbus.
4. USC - Why Not?
5. LSU - Trust me on this one. It's not gonna be Ole Miss or Bama.
6. Oklahoma - Could be higher
7. VA Tech - This is a gamble. Will a true, powerhouse ACC team actually compete?
8. Cal - RISKY; But, Best is best.
9. Alabama - We'll see - a strong returning D ad easier schedule for a team that did complete an SEC reg. Season undefeated.
10. Penn State - After last season's run, i see good things in the Nitts' future.
And then,
11. Notre Dame - Are they really the 11th best team? Fuck, no. But they have a SOFT schedule and will be in a BCS bowl (getting blown out, of course).
12. Oregon
13. TCU
14. Georgia
Ummm, not sure what's next....or how long these picks will stay like this. There's some risky shit up there, I know, but it's all part of the process.
