Biased here, but on your SEC...I would put Tennessee at 3/4. Ok with UGA and Florida. Auburn has a lot to replace, LSU same and lost the QB who was suppose to but the future and Bama is a ??? All though maybe you are a prophet. I think UT has enough coming back on Offense and a 4th year jr. at QB with a lot of time to learn a new system. A running back that will end up being the all time leading rusher at a school known for running backs, and a much improved D. (experience in the SEC is huge). I think because of UGA's schedule it will give the winner of the Florida UT game a chance to win the east.
"Word" was that Coach Pete held back some of the defensive players... I expect the Va game to be one of a tactical nature (it is actually TWO weeks before the OSU game, with the Trojans "Byeing" the week after the opener at Va!)
I like the #4 Ranking going into the OSU game... and USC likely to be favored by 6!!!!
By all rights, I feel that Ohio State should be a prohibitive favorite, regardless of what happened last year, if the game was in Columbus. As it is, being played in LA, it should be considered a pick'em.
