    Miami/Oklahoma - Miami won lots of close games last year - faded late in the season

    Auburn has a rough schedule. PSU have a rough year too but too may cupcake teams. If Bama had a tougher schedule, they'd be in trouble with that secondary.

    Dane:

    * As a Badger fan, I HATE all the pre-season pub this team is getting. I've never seen an Offensive Line command this many interviews.

    I don't think they're phony, but I see some chinks:

    1) Schedule is much tougher than last year's. Road games at Iowa/Mich/PennSt.
    2) The TE Fumigali won't be replaced easily.
    3) Some pretty heavy departures on Defense.

    Badgers getting a ton of love. I don’t think the wheels fall off and they fall out of the top 25.

    Injuries will probably dictate who falls out.

    If auburn loses stidham they’re fukked. Not sold on Miami. Those would be my guesses.

    They don’t have 2 play Ohio st or Michigan st IMO they are both better then Michigan and penn st and they have 7 home games - no way Wisconsin falls out the Top 10- Most likely senario they lose 1 game

    Dane, MiamiFL was going to be my other mention as potentially phony team. Think back to last year + how much noise they got w/ the "Turnover Chain." Don't think it will go as swimmingly this year.

    One more WIS note. Looks like WR Cephus has some criminal charges coming down.

    Yah. They relied on turnovers last year... a lot. That tends to fluctuate. They were wiped out at the end of last season. If they lose to LSU, they're a prime candidate.

    OU will be favored in every game and they play in the Big 12 which is trash.

    If they go 9-3, which would be a horrible year, they’ll still be ranked.

    If I had to pick, I would choose Miami but it think all of these teams will finish the year ranked.

    Maybe Auburn loses their QB to injury and succumbs to the SEC gauntlet? IDK

    One can only hope.
    But Pedo St.'s Franklin recruited very well.
    Some ranked the Pedos class #4.

    psu put up 545 yards and 35 points in the fiesta bowl vs wash without moorhead

    rb will be just fine with former #1rb recruit boobie sanders...ricky slade is another 5* rb as well

    barkley loss is getting massively overrated by the masses

    Solid points, I just think Moorhead and Barkley were once-in-a-generation guys for that program. Too much to overcome with that schedule IMO.

    i think barkley could beat up jesus christ himself, but the way he way used and the way the system is, i don't see it hurting that much...he wasn't a 30 rush a game bellcow that the O can't go without, his biggest loss is going to be the fear other teams have for him, allowing other guys to thrive

    schedule looks rough with the teams, cause the big is the most loaded ive ever seen it since i started betting, but it sets up as good as they could hope for

    osu, wisky, and msu all at home

    UM away, which is the most overrated home field in sports
