Thanks for the support guys, if you all would be interested, I am going to do a write up on who wins the 6 BCS conferences and who gets the 4 other at-large BCS bowl berths including our National Title predictions.

Great work! I think Bama will be beter than #6...

Great work I know a lot of work and effort went into this project. Enjoyed reading about each team and like Big Spikes am an avid Gator fan. Another season will be here before long will be glad for the season to start.

I like it. Thanks for doing the work guys. I don't see anything I can disagree with.

 

Of course, here's hoping the Big East and the state of Florida has a shake-up that makes them environmentally sound. u.gif

Great work! You guys have put a lot of research into this. Thanks.:thumb:

 

By the way, where do you think UK should be ranked for the upcoming season?

UK is kind of a wildcard. They have the potential to break into the top 25, but the offense has to gain some consistency. I think that if they can settle on a QB they should be fine. The defense should be one of the top in the SEC, IF they can remain healthy which was a problem last year. Namely, Micah Johnson has to be healthy and so does THE BEST CB in the country, Trevard Lindley. Lindley is one of the top rated prospects for next years draft, and should be one of the 1st CB's taken next year. He's not the fastest, but as we all know he is a real player. Really, the offenses ability to stay on the field and finding a capable replacement for Myron Pryor will determine how good UK's defense is.

 

Couple of things Brooks has talked about so far in spring practice reports and such:

-He said Winston Guy is looking really good at Free Safety and should help the defense out all season long.

-Alphonso Smith has impressed in the scrimmages and practices, and Red-shirt frosh HB Coshik Williams is getting alot of love from UK faithful, but he is rumored to possibly be transferring. But with those two, Moncel Allen, and POSSIBLY a healthy Derrick Locke UK could have a great stable of RB's.

-Randall Cobb will play some QB, but so far it has mainly been out of a "Wildcat" like package. Look for the 'Cats to use it this season. Also, as expected Cobb will most likely be the top target at WR.

 

Overall though, while the Cats have talent the schedule will probably keep them out of breaking the top 25 when it is all said and done. Playing rival U of L, followed by Florida and 'Bama will be a a tough task.

I don't think playing UL will be a tough task at all.

It shouldn't be but with the two games after that you never know.

Just for fun, let's see how much of our predictions came true, not too many, unfortunately, thanks USC.

USC and Oklahoma were mistakes ANY of us would have made. Fun to read again after all this time.

OU, yes due to the injuries. I do not think USC is as surprising as some make it seem. 99 time out of 100, a frosh QB is not going to get it done, and losing essentially all of your defense is not a recipe for success. I believe everyone just assumed they would reload and be in the top 5.

They wasn't too bad, TCU/USC/Sooners/ big surprises. Bama 6th was a huge miss. :clap:

Well interestingly enough at first we had TCU alot higher, but decided to play it safe. I'm a big Patterson fan.

 

As for Bama, the season isn't over yet :lol:. I'm just playing with ya, Larry :thumb:.
