:cool2: As we approach the 2004 College Football season, i have a few predictions of my own. I believe that Southern Cal has the easiest inroad to appear in the national championship. This is due to their PAC-10 schedule and the obvious talent they bring back. USC is well coached and will not take any team lightly {CAL will be on their minds}. Who they meet and perform in the NC is another story. My next prediction has to be Florida State. This team's MAKE OR BRAKE game will the first one of the season with Miami. IF and is a big IF beat Miami @ Miami, they run the table in the ACC. Bowden has enough talent and good staffing to get this deed done. He wants one more for the road and this could be his "last chance", otherwise, he may not be remember as a legend in the annals of CF. This season should be one of the more exciting ones because it could be anybody's race. My favorite "dark horses" for this year are Ohio State, Virginia, Kansas State, Michigan and Alabama {why not?!?} :biggrin:
:eek2: Now, let's discuss the polls/magazines/and the so-called experts choices for the 2004 season. Aside from the clear on favorite USC, we shall examine the other top picks who i believe will fall short for various reasons:
1.Oklahoma- A]Texas, it's now or never B]Kansas State will be the BIG-12 boss C] Nebraska, YES Nebraska!! renew rivalry game and new coach/system will make this a good late season game D]BIG-12 has become harder to compete E]Oklahoma has been rank in the top five since their 2000 NC and 3x since thereafter BOMB and will again this year. Stoops claims his team is even better than the previous ones. With most of the talent gone, i believe it when i see it. Bama should have won in Norman when his "team" was better than ours!!
Look what happens when they meet an SEC oppenent {LSU ring a bell}.
2.LSU- A]SEC schedule enough said B] untested at QB/ DL revamping C]tough to repeat in the SEC, esp. SEC champs D]THIS IS LSU afterall, don't let the hype get to you!!
3.Georgia- A]SEC schedule enough said B]0-3 against the Florida C] David Greene can't get the job none D]running game? E] Georgia waited 20+ for an SEC title and they will have to wait another 20+ for a NC!
These are my humble opinions for the upcoming season. We shall see, won't we? :wink:
