NCAAFB Top 30 for 2009...DoubleUp4Life

too high for frogs....ASSuming these are actual power rankings....NOT your prediction of where they will be ranked at start of season.....or where they will finish......(might/probably finish at around 15th)

not enough back.....6/4/2 + Qb + 3/5 OL + .........1/7 def (front 7)
including top 3 tacklers (240 tackles or so gone)
schedule not too challenging.....probably beat virg .....remember they will be installing a new offense......and might/probably have "new" qb....hall (1st start) or sewell (off last year)...won't beat clemson.....byu game will be VERY tough .....(Bronco hasn't lost home game in 3 years)   remember tough at home ....but Patterson 18-25-3 ATS on road
Frogs while awesome physically....make way too many mistakes....gift wrapped utah game LY (on neutral field tcu beats utah 6-7 times out of 10?)...(could) have beaten ou in norman.....3 long TD passes (200 yds worth) were difference + 4 tcu TO's and 12 penalties
barely beat boise despite almost doubling their Off stats (28-15 FD.....472-250 TO.....36-24 TOP )  ...AF..Wyo....SD St games won't be quite that easy

If I Had To say Right Now Baring Injury......54-60 Points...

Over  Oklahoma S.T 38  Georgia 30

How can you evaluate a guy who has only thrown 58 passes in his collegiate career?  Logan grey IS NOT the best talent @ QB for Georgia.  Aaron Murray is hands down the best QB on the roster, he prob wont play as a true frosh, but he has way more talent than Logan Grey does.

I dont expect Georgia to run the SEC, and I dont expect them to beat Okie st.  I do know that you, like the rest of the bafoons in America, do not have a clue about Georgia. 

I will bet you a dime right now that UGA/Okie st game doesn't go over 67 points also. 

Tough to Call this game  ATS or Staight Up  ...

 But I Love the Over if its between 56-61....

 

• If the Goergia Defense Dominates it could be a Long day for Hunter and Co..f Ga Might run at will ??ll .. But then  again if the Cowboys get ahead early it might be Over and lead to tons of garbage Points ... Over ...Either Way I see 67+ Points Scored 69+ of the Time

At Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, plus Florida at home.  We can see 3-4 losses easily there.

i think many are .....
* overreacting to a team in 2008 > either under / over achieving
* practicing "selective memory"....(remembering only events that support your point)
example: LSU stunk yes.....betcha most thought ga tech would beat 'em in bowl  didn't ya ?  ......that was (essentially) ....LSU's 1st game in '09
LSU won 38-3 if you missed it.....lost great players yes > those didn't contribute anyway......(QB + RB + top WR .....+ 3/5 OL.....+ top 5 tacklers on D....including top pass rusher).....all return.....                      with return of  Scott, Black and La Fell .....and addition of DC Chavis........+ tons of talent on hand .....seems major reach to say there are 13 teams better at this point ....
know what you're thinking > that dumbass Les Miles can't coach and this is beginning of slide for Tigers....BAD NEWS (i'm not a LM fan either).........after this year we will be forced to admit that he (might) know WTF he's doing ....
* begin year with plenty of confidence...4-0 without breaking sweat....
 then at georgia for revenge game  ....(off  @ ok st > s caro > @ ark > ariz st ) !........ they should win here
should lose to fla....
(might) lose to alabama....toss up for me ...alabama off  6 good "tests" already........... lsu only 2-3 or so (vandy or auburn at home not big test don't think)
* ol miss great story LY.......and they will be strong....don't see how you can PROJECT them to just simply pick up where they left off (2 1st rounders gone)........NOW expectations huge......tigers win TOUGH revenge game ....(probably)
10-2 probable > 11-1 best case........no worse than 9-3......ain't gonna lose BB years to ga, ala, ol miss AND  fla.........

2 things make it tough call.......
1) ok st good at home......but ...REACH  to call them top team (seem them ranked as high as # 5...... .SHOULD be i agree......LY  (one of best ever).....lined up against 5 good teams and lost 4 !!!!!!!!!  ...(turns out mizz not really very good ).. bowl loss followed up with very mediocre recruiting class.....they have proven they have talent  and that's it..... GUNDY has proven skilled PLAYING  QB....and ability to publically humiliate young sophmoric female reporter > won't transfer here
2) uh oh ....can you name top road coach in America ?,,,,,gotta be Richt  (31-4 or so SU in true road games).....also top 5 would think in getting team ready for non conf games (34-3 SU ).....believe ONLY  reg season loss to ga tech in '08 ....
* matchup appears to favor okie st no doubt.......wouldn't be too eager..
despite tons of injuries.(played 24 freshman )...murderous schedule.....huge expectations (gotta factor letdown)  still finished 10-3......with stars no doubt playing (late)  with huge NFL  contract in back of minds....

Hampton should have an outstanding year.  Look for him to be on of the top 2/3 RBs league.  I watched him several time last year, he is the real deal.

I can see LSU at 9-3, or 10-2, or 8-4.  I think they may hang with Alabama and could pull an upset.  LSU does well against Alabama, and has not lost there since 1999.  With 'Bama thin at QB, it could be a close game.  By the same token, LSU could easily lose to Georgia in Athens.  This is a very tough team to figure out, because they are being hyped so much in Baton Rouge and by the press.  They may be a good fade against Florida and then later on in the year.  I really do not like teams with 2 QB systems, and LSU will have one this year.

 

2 QB system ? ........don't think so BD
"JJ is has certainly taken the lead .....and is making strong case to be the starter".........< les miles
looks like JJ is clear cut starter / leader .......team lost confidence in Lee.....if you mean Shepherd (started for purple team in spring game......and looked sharp)....he will be used at rec/rb.......probable situational stuff at QB........as he is supposedly tremendous talent 

I think Sheppard will be used more in the Wild Cat formation and Jefferson will be the real QB...

LSU should be better than last year but the SEC is even better this year as well... 3-4 Losses seems really likely
