    Default Under 9 week until College Football starts again!

    https://www.si.com/college-football/...labama-georgia

    This is SI's early college football predictions.

    #1 - Clemson.
    Still got lots of talent, including a future Heisman caliber QB. But that front 4 on the D line was what made last years team so dangerous. 3 of them went in the first round of the draft. Yeah, they'll be in the mix at the end of the regular season.

    #2 - Alabama.
    Much of the offense is back, and added some new talent behind Tua. Great recruiting means there are people ready to step up. Since Saban has been in Tuscaloosa, when Bama got smacked around at the end of the previous year, they came back with a vengence.

    #3 - Georgia.
    #4 - Ohio State
    #5 - Notre Dame
    #6 - Oklahome
    #7 - Michigan
    #8 - Florida
    #9 - Texas
    #10 - Texas A&M

    Michigan is ranked in the top 10. Anybody think Harbaugh can get it done? Or will OSU blow them out again?

    The Buckeyes have plenty of talent. I think the lack of distractions this year may put them in the playoffs.

    Like Tuscaloosa, it is bad when we lose, but still exciting during the season.

    One of the Oklahoma or Nebraska coaches said "When you pass, one of 3 things will happen. And 2 of them are bad."

    Woody compiled a record of 238-72-10. He won 5 National Championships and 13 Big 10 Championships. He must have done something right.

    But in modern football you have to be able to have a balanced attack.

    If he hadn't lost his mind and started punching goalposts he would have done better too.

    Now how do you think your top ten list matches up to the top ten coaches salaries? Coaching staff salaries? Schools spending the most on college football? Etc.

    Do you think there might exist there a common denominator of the more you spend the better your team is? If such, it really isn't amateur competition, but more so a race of the dollar, the more you spend, the more you win, kinda like professional football, except the State controls the purse strings
