McFadden is the early favorite with Booty and a few others following. Defensive players to watch for..........pretty much anyone on USC. Rey Mauluga, Sedrick Ellis and Taylor Mays for starters. Mauluga almost knocked Patrick Turner out for the opening game this weekend yesterday at practice. Dude is vicious.

Brad - I'd be suprised if anyone in the Pac 10 stays within 10 pts of USC this year. I like the DE from UCLA Hope Brennan turns out better than Timmy Chang :box:

If they beat Tennessee this weekend, watch out for the Bears. Brennan is a lot better football player than Chang.

I don't think L'ville can help Brohm enough Of course, there is always JDBooty...who could win by default as QB of a dominant team...but I think USC will falter at least one, but maybe twice...this is not as good a team as 05...and even they faltered, well UT and VY had soemthing to do about that... Can't wait for some football!!!

Can't wait for some football!!![/quote] I agree. I hate USC, but their defense will be very good this year. And I've always liked Booty (throws a ball about 100 times as pretty as Leinart; should have started over him 2 years ago infact if not for hype). The keys for USC will be getting a consistent rotation on offense. They had clearly defined roles when they were at their best (White/Bush, etc.). I think it almost HURTS them that they have too much talent now at RB. They need to have a couple guys stand out (like McKnight for example) and get in a rhythm. Oh, and the Oline will take a bit of time to gel too. Same for the new WR's, who I do like (especially Hazleton/Turner). First time I've liked USC's WR's in a LONG time (never though Mike Williams/Jarrett were anything special). For the Heisman, I'd definitely throw Slaton, Hart, and Tebow into the mix. Florida's going to contend for the title again, make no mistake about it, and Tebow will be featured. Urban Meyer is hands down the best coach in the country and he'll have him ready to play. Slaton could be scary with White AND Devine with him, and he'll have a big PR (Rutgers-like) factor going for him. And then Hart makes Michigan go. If they play up to their talent and get to the title game, don't forget about him either.

I'm actually boycotting watching college football this year (makes no sense until they get a playoff to me) so I won't get to watch West Virginia, who should be RIDICULOUS to watch those 3 guys in the backfield. I am GOING to the Tenn/Cal game this weekend though (got a ticket from a friend and couldn't pass it up to GO to a game), so I'll give you guys a report.

Cal should win that onepretty comfortably, but it will be good! Great atmosphere! But how can you boycott CFB??? It is easily the greatest sport on the planet...better than pro ball...so much more excitement and atmosphere! There is no need for a playoff...a simple 4+1, pitting 1 v. 4 and 2 v. 3 to battle for the championship the following week...IMO they are setting up for this already by having the MNC game one week later as is...there is no need to change any schedules right now, just which teams are plugged in...might cause some travel woes for people...but you can't argue with that mini-playoff...maintains the bowl barage, maintains the importance of each and every game, and still gives us a undisputed champ!

I'd like to see them switch to an 8-team playoff so NOONE can bitch, using the bowl games much the same, with just flopping which bowl is which rd, etc. But yes. And I've never gotten the argument that "it'll make the regular season unimportant." Teams still have to focus every week to GET to the playoffs/seeding, etc. So yes, it pains me to give it up for now (though I think college baseball and college basketball are even better) but should be okay. No tournament has sure pained me as a Michigan fan the last couple years though. And the 6 week layoffs between the regular season and the bowl season mean that all bowl games are almost meaningless. NOONE is playing their best. It's like preseason games level almost. BTW, I actually think UT has a real good shot at winning. But we'll see. Could be a good one. I have ZERO faith in Cal's qb's, while I like Ainge.
