It looks an awful lot like another strong SEC season. LSU looked great against Oregon. Alabama is going to be tough this year in all phases, and there are some surprises in store for us somewhere in the South Carolina/Florida camps I'd reckon. Auburn is a mere shadow of last year without Newton and Fairley. Georgia looked worse than they should be, and I think we're all in a wait and see on Ole Miss, Tennessee and Arkansas.
Looking forward to seeing Oklahoma play. Wouldn't that be a kick to see a Big XII team go big after their conference got kicked around this offseason? Texas needs a QB to compete seriously. Nebraska might surprise a few folks, as might Missouri.
I see little to get excited about in the ACC, Big East or BigTen (12) this year. Yes, Ohio State beat Akron, but I'm not sure they can recover to be contenders. Iowa keeps getting close, but they can't seem to keep the talent pipeline full. Wisconsin looks pretty good, I think. Need to watch more tape.
PAC 12 looks to be all Ducks. Even in their loss to a very good LSU, they appear strong. USC was unimpressive against Minnesota. Not much else out there at the moment. Boise might be the team out west to make noise aside from the PAC, but they should have beaten UGA a little more handily, I think.
