Obviously these were made before USC's probation, but still, Oregon at #5 in the Pac 10? Highly unlikely. LSU will not finish ahead of Arkansas. Auburn is iffy. Other than that, there is nothing shocking about these picks.
The ACC looks about right to me.
I notice they hae Colorado up to 3rd in the Big 12 North's finale this season. If Colorado finishes that high, they would land a bowl game and Hawkins may save his job. Still, with non-con games at Cal and against Georgia, 6 wins is going to be very tough, especially with games at Mizzou, OU, Kansas, and Nebraska. Lindy's has them finishing last in the Big 12 North. That may be a little closer to where they actually finish.
