Okay I know a lot of people here are probably big college ball fans as well, so how bout a lil ncaa talk... who would be your preseason top 10, heisman candidates etc...

Personally I like
1. ohio state
2. texas
3. WVU
4. norte dame
5. lsu
6. miami
7. usc
8. louisville
9. oklahoma
10. TCU

i can see michael bush, the running back for louisville running away with the heisman this year given the big easts softness, he'll be able to rack up the numbers again this year, that being said, a darkhorse in the same conference in steve slaton... (i may be a little mountaineer bias )

i hear alot of talk about brady quinn for heisman. and wvu will be real good for the next 3 years at least

Hail2theskins · 07-28-2006, 09:34 AM

Yeah brady quinn is getting recognition all over the place, thanks in part to what charlie weis did to that offense

724Skinsfan · 07-28-2006, 09:34 AM

I agree about Quinn. He has a legitimate shot at the Heismann. Despite the fact that I am a self-proclaimed homer, I realistically think Va Tech will be in the top ten.

Hail2theskins · 07-28-2006, 09:36 AM

did va tech decide glennon will be the starter?

by the way... hokies suck :cheeky-sm

ArtMonkDrillz · 07-28-2006, 09:36 AM

I'd be shocked if Texas was that good this year. They obviously lost their best player, and now their starting RB wants to transfer. Plus, half their D is gone.
Notre Dame should be pretty nasty. Also, I wouldn't be suprised if Peterson from OU rebounds this year.

Hail2theskins · 07-28-2006, 09:38 AM

texas also has 2 other backs that combined for like 20 TD's last season, i think they have a lot of talented depth in that area, the biggest concern is definitley QB

Glennon is the starter....for now. In truth all of the QB's on the roster are fairly equivalent to one another. Beamer's teams have made a lot of average QB's look good.

HAHA! Hokies DO suck but Mountaineers.. [edited due to PETA protestations]

hahaha, i can see tech being a legitamate top 25 team this year, probably in the top 15, especially with their schedule i would expect nothing short of 9 wins this fall

You're right. Their schedule is so cake. I can't remeber the last time I looked at their schedule and visibly smiled. Miami away is the only tough one. Virginia and BC will be interesting games but neither of those team are cruising along at the same speed as the rest of the ACC.

theres been a lot of talk about him and oklahoma this year and i just dont buy it, they went 8-4 in a rebuilding season yes, but their wins were over very soft opponnents they lost to everry decent team they played, the only quality win i give them is over a VERY overrated oregon team

ArtMonkDrillz · 07-28-2006, 09:52 AM

I meant Peterson individually. He was injured most of last season if I'm not mistaken. He was so good his freshman year that I'd be suprised if it was just a fluke.
I have no idea how OU will do in general.

BC will take a step back this year, and UVA, come on, even tech cant screw that up... wait... maybe....

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-28-2006, 09:53 AM

I like Tech, but damn, they've got to learn how to win the big game.

Gmanc711 · 07-28-2006, 09:54 AM

West Virginia will likley be playing for the national championship because of the weak big east schedule they'll play...and they're a pretty good team.
