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
???

Im too lazy to list mine again.

And I was kidding around

But I think his post was actually kind of interesting... because everyone knows he bullshits with OSU and ND. But he actually thinks LSU would be second? Or possibly at least.

Ah, okay. Well, a lot of uncertainty with LSU due to off the field issues so not sure I would have them that high unless that stuff gets resolved.
