NCAA Football Preseason Top 25

Ahh, fall is nearly here. While the sunshine of summer is always missed and the back-to-school dread is upon many, there's one thing that always brightens up my post-summer days--College Football! So, to get us started, here's the 2009 STB Preseason Top 25:
  1. Florida
  2. Texas
  3. USC
  4. Oklahoma
  5. Ohio State
  6. Alabama
  7. Virginia Tech
  8. California
  9. Mississippi
  10. Oklahoma State
  11. LSU
  12. Georgia
  13. TCU
  14. Boise State
  15. Penn State
  16. Oregon
  17. BYU
  18. Utah
  19. Georgia Tech
  20. Florida State
  21. Iowa
  22. Oregon State
  23. Texas Tech
  24. West Virginia
  25. Notre Dame
*Notes: Florida, Texas and Oklahoma return their star quarterbacks... Utah, while coming off a spectacular season (one that left them with a legitimate argument for title of National Champs) lost quite a few key players at key positions... USC lost Mark Sanchez, but they're USC, they'll be more than fine.

Key Games to Watch in Week One:
  • 16 Oregon @ 14 Boise St. (Thursday, Sept. 3 @ 10:15pm ET on ESPN)
  • 12 Georgia @ 10 Oklahoma St. (Saturday, Sept. 5 @ 3:30pm ET on ABC)
  • 17 BYU vs. 4 Oklahoma (Saturday, Sept. 5 @ 7:00pm ET on ESPN)
  • 6 Alabama vs. 7 Virginia Tech (Saturday, Sept. 5 @ 8:00pm ET on ABC)

    Go Gators!!! Life in the Swamp is looking pretty good right now and I think Urban and the boys are going to be a lot of fun to watch this year. With all 11 defensive starters, who also happen to be some of the fastest people on the planet, returning this year,I think teams are REALLY going to have a tough time scoring points. The offense also returns a ton of talent, especially that Tebow guy who could finish his career as arguably the greatest college football player of all time. While you can never go wrong when Tim Tebow is leading your team, I do have a couple of concerns about the offense. The Gators are really going to miss the game-changing plays of Percy Harvin and I wonder if at some point this season all of the hits and collisions are finally going to catch up to Superman. In the end I think his personal stats will be down a bit, but things will be ok because I think the defense will be unbelievable!!! 3 National Championships in 4 years...not too shabby. Go Gators!
