Are the Boogs in the top 14, or did they not make the top 25 at all?

 

[BamaJeff]

I just can't see Auburn making the top 14.

#14 Nebraska

How does Notre Dame end up in the top 25 every year?

Calliing Dr. Lou!

I think you mean "start" in the top 25. They never "end up" in the top 25.

Didn't make it.....cause there is absolutely NO WAY they can be in the top 14.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did. I think they're gonna be better than people think albeit no where near the top.

First SEC team in at 13? Delaney ain't gonna like this.

Auburn has too many questions to be in the Top 25. Who's playing QB? Who's replacing Mike Dyer? What kind of offense will they run? How has the defense progressed under the 'Stache?

Notre Dame has some hype like they do every year. One reason for this year's hype is their last 10 regular season games. During their 0-2 start, they had so many mistakes. They kept the mistakes to a minimum in the last 10 games.

This surprises me a little bit. I know the Hawgs have a new HC, and are having some discipline problems, but if they can keep players out of jail and off suspension, I think they could very likely end up in the top 10. JMO - I guess we'll know more after Sep 15th.

They're going to need the "hold the rope" routine...

They sure didn't hang on to the handle bars !

#11 Texas
Really?

They have a McCoy at QB and a Shipley at WR. All that is keeping Texas from succeeding is the two of them being roommates and McCoy throwing a football at Shipley who is in a passing bass boat.

I`ll never understand how Texas ever loses a football game with the talent they recruit year in and year out. Could it be....... Mack Brown? I think if you look up "underachiever" in Webster`s you`ll see a picture of the University of Texas football team (all MHO, of course!).

USCe is up next and I'm just not buying what they're selling... The defense is not going to be nearly as good, neither is the offense. Yes they have Clowney and a great back who is coming off surgery but that's it.
