Well the games start on Thursday so here's the AP top 25 list and a few comments about each. I'll break down the games on Sunday or Monday. I'll use the AP top 25 until the BCS is released and then I'll refer to that instead.
(1) Georgia--The Bulldogs are loaded and ready to take on the #1 ranking, but although Mark Richt has done a great job at Georgia they have never gotten to the big dance.
(2) Ohio State--The Buckeyes are back with most of their stars this year looking to prove that their loss to LSU was just a fluke, but the road contest with USC in week 3 will decide who's really put that loss behind them and who's still reeling from two straight national title game blowouts.
(3) USC--The Trojans have a loaded backfield and lots of talent but can they find someone to replace John David Booty at QB?
(4) Oklahoma--Bob Stoops' Sooners have a fantastic sophmore QB and a massive O-Line but will they be able to keep from stumbling this year?
(5) Florida--The Gators are flashy, exciting, and dangerous. But can Tim Tebow repeat his Heisman winning performance of a year ago?
(6) Missouri--The Tigers are ready to prove they belong at the top of the pyramid but will they be able to knock Oklahoma out of the Big12 driver's seat?
(7) LSU--The Bayou Bengals are the returning national champions and have loads of talent, but will they be able to find a solid QB?
(8) West Virginia--The Mountaineers proved they weren't soft last year with their win in the Fiesta Bowl, but will they be able to keep up the pace after losing Rich Rodriguez and Steve Slaton?
(9) Clemson--The Tigers look tough with their talented group but will Tommy Bowden finally be able to win the big games this year?
(10) Auburn--Tommy Tubberville always has a good football team but will they be able to replace several keys defensive players and find a QB?
(11) Texas--The darlings of Austin have a solid QB and lots of talent but can Mack Brown's bunch beat Oklahoma and Texas Tech this year?
(12) Texas Tech--The Red Raiders might be the most exciting team in college football but will that translate into wins?
(13) Wisconsin--The Badgers don't seem to be missing Barry Alvarez too much, can they unseat Ohio State atop the Big10 this season?
(14) Kansas--The Jayhawks return a lot of talent to a team that went 11-1, but can they repeat that performance while getting everyone's "A" game this year?
(15) Arizona State--The SunDevils looked great at times last year, can they put it together on a consistent enough basis to beat out USC in the PAC10?
(16) BYU--The Cougars have talent and a weak schedule, can they run the table and be a "BCS Buster"?
(17) Virginia Tech--Frank Beamer's Hokies have high hopes this season but can Tyrod Taylor deliver?
(18) Tennessee--The Volunteers lost a lot of players to the draft and graduation, can Phillip Fulmer reload instead of rebuild?
(19) South Florida--The Bulls were the story of last season, making it into the top 5 before fading at the end. Can they repeat their magical journey?
(20) Illinois--They knocked off Ohio State and made it to the Rose Bowl last year. Can Juice Williams produce the same results without Rashard Mendenhall?
(21) Oregon--The Ducks were great early last season, but can they win without Johnathan Stewart and Dennis Dixon?
(22) Penn State--The Nittany Lions are looking to push Joe Pa's record ahead of Bobby Bowden. Do they have enough talent to do it?
(23) Wake Forest--The Demon Deacons have been a solid football team of late. Can they push their way to the top of the food chain?
(24) Alabama--Nick Saban's debut season with the Tide was far short of spectacular, can he and John Parker Wilson get the Tide rolling again?
(25) Pittsburg--Their win over West Virginia was a huge boost at the end of last season. Can they carry that momentum over into this season?
