College Football Predictions

A funny thing happened on my journey through the top 15 - life. Sweezy got a little busy with things and didn't have time to finish, but with the season kicking off tonight, I knew I had to get something together for the millions of readers out there who count on GDB to bring you the truth and knowledge. I'll give you the rest of my top 15 and then some specific predictions for each conference. Thank god the season is here.

The Top 15
15. Kansas (Tough schedule plus some big losses equals a tougher season in Lawrence)
14. Arizona State (2nd place in a weak Pac-10, Erickson is turning it around in Tempe)
13. Texas Tech (All the offense in the world, but they've always had offense, get some D now)
12. BYU (Mormons have some good players and an easy sked, no drunk bitches though)
11. West Virginia (Pat White is legit, but huge coaching and defensive questions)
10. Wisconsin (Could be a Rose Bowl year if they can beat OSU in Mad-Town)
9. LSU (Talent level will not drop off, Tigers still have the best D-Line in the nation)
8. Clemson (Tons of talent and an easy schedule, Tigers only need to grow some balls now)
7. Auburn (Best defense in the SEC + more explosive offense = Scary War Eagle
6. Florida (Easiest SEC schedule of all the top teams, injuries could cripple them though)
5. Missouri (Quite possibly could run the table before the Big 12 Championship game)
4. USC (I'll believe the offense when I see it, that defense will need to be great early)
3. Oklahoma (Best offense in college football, must prove they can win the big game though)
2. Georgia (Brutal schedule and big target might be too much even for the Dawgs)
1. Ohio State (If they lose the title game again, they should never be allowed back)
