1. Oklahoma My take: Disagree, much too high for a team that beat UCONN in the Fiesta Bowl. 2. Alabama My take: On the fence, sure an SEC team has known to have bowl dominance but this team didn't perform well last year and lost starters but continually improves. Maybe this the year the tide rolls. 3. Oregon My take: Agree, sure it lost starters but this is the same team that went all the way to the championship last year. Don't count out Oregon. 4. LSU My take: Disagree, this is much to high for a team that didn't go to a BCS bowl last season. They had a good recruiting year but the SEC is always hard. Maybe number 5 would be better. 5. Florida State My take: "Experts" are saying that this is the year FSU does well but they had a 10-4 record in the ACC and made it to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. 6. Stanford My take: Agree, two words-Andrew Luck. 7. Boise State My take: Agree, they lost starters but the top 10 feels right for a team that is known to do the unexpected. 8. Oklahoma State My take: Agree, every year they are a preseason darling and every year they fail. This year somehow feels right for the Cowboys. 9. Texas A&M My take: Disagree, no team that had a 41-24 thumping in a bowl game should be in the top 10. 10. Wisconsin My take: Agree, they lost in the Rose Bowl but they were the surprise team of last year and they played exceptionally well. I would say they should be higher but the lost some starters.
maybe not but they are looking good, ohio st. wont win with all the media hype, Michigan will not perform (like almost every year) iowa or penn st. might win, also illinois, michigan st., minnesota or nebraska could make a run to win
