OK, folks it is that time again!
For me, the two most exciting conferences to watch are the SEC and the ACC!
ACC: FSU and Miami are both scary fast! More importantly, FSU now has a lot of experience, and maybe more importantly, confidence! I look for them to take both Florida and Miami this year (but will not admit that to my son, a 'Nole). As a born Gator, it TRULY pains me to say that! I do not think Clemson can stop either FSU or Miami, and there is no one else in the ACC who realistically can.
SEC: Georgia or South Carolina are the two most likely to take the East. Alabama, Auburn, and LSU are in a three-way battle for the West. But watch 'Ol Miss and also Mississippi State. The MS Defense may cause folks a LOT of problems. 'Ol Miss is a well-balanced team, but not sure they are at the high-level...YET.
PAC-12: USC has promise, but UCLA now has confidence. Watch for Oregon to bring speed. Cal will bring power, and may take the PAC-12 North - IF - Oregon State upsets Oregon. Arizona State will start strong as always, but let's see if they get past the half-way point this year.
Big East: Watch for the Smurf Turf Team to take a serious position here, be a real contender again.
Div I AA: Montana may be strong again, as likely will Appellation State.
Now, anyone have views? Want to talk smack?
Hey, this is COLLEGE FOOTBALL!
