takethepoints: That is alright, I am just guessing. I sort of dropped Auburn down a little because they played some tight games and they won on two miracles. The bounce of the football can change so fast, that the bounce may go the other way this year, and other teams now have the DVDs of this year's game against them, so the outcome could be a little different. However, it seems Malzahn might do well at Auburn in the future.
I really went out on a limb and selected Texas to be #5. I think they already have the material, but as a coach gets older, some of them do not think as quick on their feet during a game, and also lose a little of their enthusiasm. Charlie Strong seems to have the drive at this time, and might do good things with Mack's material, but it is only a stab-in-the-dark from my standpoint.
Also, Petrino and Louisville could fall on their faces, but I went out on a limb, because I think he will really try hard to succeed and get the monkey off his back. If he wins big at Louisville this year, he will be forgiven for a lot of his past, but he will be without the driving force (QB) for this past year.
I also placed Clemson a little too high, but I am gambling the QB out of Gainseville will become the quarterback of the team.
