College Football "PICKS"!..
Posted by UFreak in 
The EARLY-early look at the 2011 College Pre-Pre-season Top teams…Its never too early to think NCAA Football, is it?
Does anyone think there WONT be another SEC team favored to with a Title this year?……Yeah, a lot will be HOPING against it, but would anyone throw their nutts into the pot on a bet? Probably not!
TOP FIVE: LoSerU, Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon,
LoSerU, and Alabama might be the top two SEC teams heading into the Summer…andI say “Summer” because a lot can happen over the Summer, to change things. Still, both LoSerU and ‘Bammer have QB issues to hash out For LoSerU they have Jordan Jefferson, (Sr), Jarrett Lee (Sr), and soph. Zach Mettenberger. Alabama has last year’s back-up, AJ McCarron (So), and Phil Sims- who is a red-frosh. Alabama might be the one who would be more likely to handle the change, though, because less would be asked of their QB. Nick Satan requires you to be a robot, who doesn’t do much, other than NOT make mistakes. Even with Julio Jonee off to the NFL, they’ll have a solid 1-2 punch at wr, and they have a Mark Ingram replacement in Trent Richardson. This guy could easily be in New York next December, for that presentation ceremony they hold at The Downtown Athletic Club.
LoSerU has two Seniors that will battle for the job, but they were 107th nationally in passing efficiency last year. That might mean that the “not-so-typical” sophomore, Z-Mett, who isn’t your every-day 2nd year player, might be a factor! After he was “excused” from his original team, Georgia, he went to the Mecca of Comm College teams –Butler (KS) CC, where he lit it up. Sure, it was CC ball, but he was highly regarded when he first signed with “Jawja”! However the battle shakes out, none of the three QB’s will have Stevan Ridley to draw in defenses and make their life easier. The bruising Ridley chose to take his 1200+ yards and tUFf inside running to the NFL….-possibly a little earlier than he should have???
OSU has an issue for the first 4-5 games. The Tattood “5” are required to sit out five games, but word has it they will probably only serve a 4 game suspension. The Buck-nutts first 4 games are: Akron(H), Toledo(H), duh U(A), and Colorado(H)…The 5th game is the start of the Big10/11/12 slate, and features ANOTHER home game, with Michy State. (This MSU team will NOT be as good as the 2010 team was.) UC would be 5-0 at this point, so even w/o Pryor and the others there’s nothing to fear here! Game 6, though, could be where the lack of games played might be a problem. Game 6 is when they visit Lincoln,NE and the “on-the-rise” BIG RED. The Cornhuskers should be hungry, and will be looking to make a big impression on their new conference mates. OSU will be the better team, but “N” has a shot. Eventually Nebraska should provide regular competition for the buck-eyes, something this conference hasn’t seen in some time. The rest of the OSU schedule: @Illinois, Wiscony, Indy, @Purdue, PENNiState, and @ Michy –then onto Indy for the Title game, where Nebraska and OSU could meet again! Short of Nebraska knocking them out (once), this is another BCS game season for Tressy and his really cool vest!
Okly and The “Nike Ducks”: Stoops and Okly should roll thru the Big12/10, because TexASS should be another year away from claiming back what was once theirs. Texas A&M (who still wants to join the SEC) might be the only other team that has a shot at keeping it close, with Okly. The rest of this conference, T-Tech, Okly State, Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas, Mizzu and K-State,…just have no chance! not in Football! — Oregon,…they play in the PAC10. The BEST team in the PAC10 is USC…The Trojans….the team who is serving penalties in basketball AND Football…and has a Head Coach in Football, who will be punished (again) by the NCAA for MORE infractions!….HE!, Lame Kiffin, cam from a school (UTenn) who’s basketball and FOOTball team, will be dealing with sanctions of their own! A connection?…Seems like it. (side note: Tim Floyd, former dismissed Head Coach of the USC basketball team, made the news again….something like a leaf, and not falling far…?? Anyway, Oregon should be the favorite, but of the top 5 listed here, they might have the longest odds!….Stanford might have another good year in ‘em(???), USC could be good, and Cal could play a good game once in a while….Newbie’s Colorado and Utah?…ppppfft, not this year!
One of these 5 will be in the BCS Title game….the other?…Alabama/LoSerU vs Okly is my bet. With the SEC taking their 6th Title in a row! Maybe after 6 in a row, other fans will HAVE to admit, that just maybe, the SEC is that good! Certainly if The Big10\11\12 were on a 5 Title run, we’d be expected to acknowledge the fact!
College Football Trivia question: How many National Titles does the Big10 have, since 1970?
