2008/2009 College Football

The 2008/2009 college football season kicks off on the 29 of August and most of the pre-season polls that I have taken a look at have Georgia ranked as the number one team. This is mainly because of the great end of year run that they had last season with a 41-14 trashing of Hawaii in their last bowl game. Being the pre-season number one does not automatically crowns you as college national champions. Georgia plays in the SEC which is arguable the toughest of the college conferences. So to be national champions they first have to emerge as SEC Champs. They have some tough games in their schedules including a showdown with the Florida Gators that have given them some problems in the past.
The lastest AP poll is as follows
1.Georgia
2.USC3.Ohio State
4.Oklahoma
5.Florida
6.Missouri
7.LSU
8.West Virginia
9.Clemson
10.Auburn
11.Texas
12.Texas Tech
13.Wisconsin
14.Kansas
15.Arizona State
16.BYU
17.Virginia Tech
18.Tennessee
19.South Florida
20.Illinois
21.Oregon
22.Penn State
23.Wake Forest
24.Alabama
25.Pittsburg
Georgia is suppose to have the best one-two running back, quarterback combination in the country. I think Georgia could have been better off sneaking into the national chamiponship instead of going in with all the pre-season hype.
USC will continue to be a powerhouse until Pete Carrolls gets to the age Bowden and Pa JOE or he suddenlly goes brain dead.
Ohio state is still a great programm despite their rap of losing many BCS title games(loser of the last two.)
Oklahoma is great but I do not see them winning it all.
I have always liked Florida with the swamp and spread offense especially when coach Steve Spurrier was there. I like their chances better than Georgia though.
LSU is defended champs so they should make some noise.
Missouri would do well in the big twelve, national champîons, I can't remember the last time that they won the national championship.
I like the Clemson Tigers, though there is a lot of expectation on a team returning quite a few starters. ACC champions, maybe, national champs, its being a while since the won the big one.(1981).
The other teams that I like, not in any particular order include Virginia Tech(great defense and special teams play all the time.Hope Frank Beamer is still their coach.
Texas(people in North Carolina still haven't forgetten this guy for leaving them for the University of Texas. Great coach though.
Penn State still has Pa Joe, so i like them also.
Alabama has a rich football history, they have to win the big one soon though, its been a while
Tennesse produced Peyton Manning of the Colts and they have a great coach(look up the name yourself)
South Florida, another top twenty five team in the state of Florida not named Florida state or Miami.
Enjoy the College Football season.
