Just more evidence of your humor.

19 returning starters from an 8-win team, 10 isn't a stretch to anyone not named sleeper.

I don't think OSU will finish in the Top 10. I think OSU will likely have 3 losses (Nebraska & Wisconsin for sure, and throw in a wildcard "L").

#1 Oklahoma will be hard pressed to finish in the Top 10. I hope they lose to FSU (and I think they just might seeing how the game is @FSU); plus they have tough games against #21 Missouri, Texas, #8 Texas A&M, and @ #9 Oklahoma St.

If #2 Alabama can find a way to beat #4 LSU, they will likely finish in the Top 10; and with the current charges facing Jordan Jefferson, this just might not be that tough of a game after all. I look for Alabama to roll over Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi St, and Auburn. Although the SEC is tough to roll thru unscathed.

#3 Oregon will NOT be in the Top 10 by year end. I think they lose to #4 LSU, and possible #7 Stanford. If they don't lose to Stanford, I think they lose a game then that they have no business losing.

#4 LSU is the wildcard here. Depends on what the verdict is on Jordan Jefferson. If he is able to not miss anytime, I think the Tigers have a showdown with Alabama to go to the Nat'l Championship game. I see LSU beating Oregon and mauling #20 Mississippi St, #24 WVU, #22 Florida, #23, Auburn, and #15 Arkansas.

#5 Boise State. If Boise beats #19 Georgia (which I kinda think they will), as much as this pains me to say, then it will finally be time to start giving them some dap. If they stampede the Bulldogs, then I think they will be in the Nat'l Title game as they're toughest challenge afterwards is #14 TCU, who I think presents zero challenge.

#6 FSU's toughest game is a home game against #1 Oklahoma U. After that, they have a pretty cream puff schedule with the ACC being almost the Big East this season, and Florida being abysmal. I like FSU to beat OU and position themselves as the frontrunner for the title game.

#7 Stanford has a creampuff OOC schedule until ND (who I think will be much improved) at the end of the year. I look for Stanford to run roughshot over the PAC 10, but slip up possibly to Oregon or someone else. I don't see them going undefeated.

#8 Texas A&M and I don't know why. They have a tough schedule -- #9 Okie St, #15 Arkansas, #21 Missouri, @ #1 Oklahoma, and Texas. Texas A&M will be lucky to finish in the top 15 IMO.

#9 Okie St has a soft OOC schedule and a fairly easy Big XII schedule as well. I think they lose to #1 Oklahoma and @ #8 Texas A&M. I hope they lose to Texas too.

#10 Nebaska. The first B1G team. I think Nebraska defeats OSU and MSU, but I think stumbles against #11 Wisky ONLY because it's @ Wisconsin.

#11 Wisconsin could potentially go undefeated, but I'd be willing to bet they slip up at least once (even tho I have them defeating OSU and Nebraska, their two toughest games).

#12 South Carolina is going to run wild on the SEC. They don't play 'Bama. They don't play LSU. Their toughest game is @15 Arkansas which I don't see them struggling with. I think South Carolina has the schedule to win it all.

#13 Virgina Tech doesn't play a single ranked opponent, and they are one of the cream-of-the-top ACC teams this season.

#14 TCU will lose to Boise, and mark this one down... they will lose to SMU.

So to recap... I have....

(not saying this is going to be the final order, but if you pointed a gun to my head I guess this is what I would tell you)

Alabama
FSU
Boise St
Wisconsin
South Carolina
Nebraska
Virgina Tech
LSU
Stanford
