Is it because the Big 10 has no other power. What is the deal? They are not that good. Yes put them in the top 25(maybe 20) and then earn what they get. But don't just give it to them and then they play one of the softest schedules every year. The sports media just can't stand for them to be out of the top..Drop the rankings all together and let the teams earn it by playing a real schedule every year. If they had to earn it the schedules would be full of real good teams. Win those then you can be no. 1 or no. 2. Why oh why do people keep putting Ohio St. in the mix.

I have the Hurricanes ranked #9 in my Preseason Top 40 and are my pick to be the ACC Champ. However, this is my projection of what the AP will look like in August and I think voters will have them #14. The loss to Wisconsin in the bowl game will no doubt weigh heavy on AP voters minds. Thanks, Phil Jchall,

Because of their high preseason ranking, they literally have to win one legitimate game (VT) to make it to the national championship. We really need to implement something like the RPI system in football. It's imperfect, but at least it's some attempt at qualifying wins. That's really a shame, too.

The Gamecocks have 16 returning starters and are one of the top teams in the SEC. They have my #3 rated D and lose just 11 lettermen. They have not caught a lot of breaks in the last 3 years. This year they do have to play Florida on the road and draw Bama from the SEC West but it would not surprise me if Spurrier had the team in the SEC Title game and they even made it as one of my Surprise Teams this year despite facing the 2nd toughest schedule in the country.

Very informative. In ref to the AP poll predictions. I would put Texas as the number 2 or 3 team. By mid-season Texas will be a fine tune football machine. Defense will be great from the start and the offense by game 4 will be awesome to watch. I am going to say Texas and Ohio State play in the BCS championship. Texas is in rebuilding just imagine what 2011 will bring to the Longhorns next year. I have Florida losing a game in the season then beating Alabama in SEC champ game. Have Texas playing Ohio State because the big 10 is weak conference compared to the SEC and Big 12. <br>Should be interesting Texas, Alabama and Florida. I enjoy the website. Very informative.

During reg season play, Miami has beaten the ACC champ the last two years.....this is their year.
