In today’s blog I will continue releasing my Preseason All Conference teams with the All-Big East and All-Pac-12 teams.

West Virginia easily leads the way with 10 1st-Team All-Conference players led by QB Geno Smith but the Mountaineers only have 13 players overall. Pitt is next in line with five 1st-Team Selections and have 16 players overall. Cincinnati and Connecticut are next each with four 1st-Team players but the Huskies have one more overall than the Bearcats (17). Read more…

In today’s blog I will continue releasing my Preseason All Conference teams with the All-MWC and All-CUSA teams.

With the exodus of BYU and Utah and the inclusion of Boise St, the All-MWC team now is dominated by two national powers TCU and Boise. The Broncos lead the way with nine 1st-Team Selections including All-American and Heisman candidate QB Kellen Moore. The Horned Frogs are next in line with six players led by All-American LB Tank Carder and San Diego St is also well represented with five players on the 1st-Team. Read more…

In today’s blog I will continue releasing my Preseason All Conference teams with the All-Independent and All-WAC teams.

With the inclusion of BYU, the All-Independent team now becomes a bit more balanced and less ND dominated with the Cougars having several VHT and HT players of their own. Overall ND still leads the way with 15 1st Team selections (22 overall) while BYU has 7 1st Team selections (18 overall) followed by Navy with 2 (7 overall) and Army 2 (5 overall). Read more…

In today’s blog I will start releasing my All Conference teams starting with the All-MAC and All-Sun Belt teams.

The Sun Belt is led by Troy who has six 1st Team All-Conference players including QB Corey Robinson and DE Jonathan Massaquoi who is one of the best DE’s in the country. Defending champ FIU is well represented with five 1st Team players led by WR/KR T.Y. Hilton and Arkansas St is 3rd with four players. Read more…

In today’s blog, I will continue releasing my Preseason All-Conference Teams with the All-Big 12 and All-CUSA Teams.

In the Big 12, Oklahoma leads the way with eight 1st Team selections led by All-American Candidates RB DeMarco Murray (705, 4.1) and WR/PR Ryan Broyles who had 1,120 rec yds (12.6) and 15 TD’s to go along with his 15.9 PR avg (1 TD). Texas is 2nd with five players including four on a defense that returns seven starters from from a unit that allowed just 252 ypg and 16.7 ppg last year. Read more…

Well here it is, my projected AP Top 10 for next year as of February 1, 2010! I will mention it now and I will mention it numerous times throughout today’s blog but this is not MY preseason Top 10 for next year, it is where I project the AP Top 10 to come out at the start of the season.

Last year my projected Top 10 for the AP Poll was #1 Florida, #2 Texas, #3 USC, #4 Oklahoma, #5 Alabama, #6 Virginia Tech, #7 LSU, #8 Oklahoma St, #9 Ohio St and #10 Mississippi. The actual AP Top 25 was #1 Florida, #2 Texas, #3 Oklahoma, #4 USC, #5 Alabama, #6 Ohio St, #7 Virginia Tech, #8 Mississippi and#9 was a tie between Oklahoma St/Penn St.

I nailed nine of the ten teams that appeared in the Preseason Top 10 with the only exception being LSU/Penn St and I may have had something to do with that. It’s interesting to note that of the main preseason magazines, only two had Penn St ranked in the Top 10 and I had them my #1 surprise team and ranked #5. Most had Penn St out of the Top 10. Perhaps since I had them rated so high in my magazine, it influenced a few voters across the country, bumping them into the Top 10.

Now let’s take a look at this year’s projected Preseason AP Top 10: Read more…
