RK Team RECORD CHANGE HIGH/LOW COMMENTS
1

0-0 - 1/18
Early-season loss of All-America LB Travis Lewis adds to offseason difficulties, but Sooners are still loaded.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
2

0-0 - 1/2
Key to the season for the Tigers? Week-to-week consistency from QB Jordan Jefferson, if he plays.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
3

0-0 - 1/5
Nasty defense led by LB Donta Hightower buys time for a new QB to get established (AJ McCarron or Phillip Sims).
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
4

0-0 - 4/10
Doubters still remain, but senior QB Kellen Moore knows how to win games like the opener vs. Georgia in Atlanta. (See Virginia Tech, 2010.)
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
5

0-0 - 3/8
Best player in the country, QB Andrew Luck, returned to The Farm for some unfinished business (Rose Bowl, degree).
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
6

0-0 - 2/7
Not a better pitch/catch combo than QB Brandon Weeden and WR Justin Blackmon.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
7

0-0 - 7/31
The Aggies believe, and they attack on both sides of the ball, with QB Ryan Tannehill, RB Cyrus Gray, and LB Sean Porter.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
8

0-0 - 4/20
Probably should be ranked higher, but will they be able to set aside a turbulent offseason? RB LaMichael James is an All-American.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
9

0-0 - 4/19
NC State transfer QB Russell Wilson may be the game-changer in the race for the Big Ten title.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
10

0-0 - 9/35
Jimbo Fisher puts his stamp on the program in one year. Now an ACC title is in reach.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
11

0-0 - 9/15
The best talent in the "Ol' Ball Coach's" time in Columbia -- RB Marcus Lattimore and WR Alshon Jeffrey are special, but QB Stephen Garcia holds a possible SEC title in his hands.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
12

0-0 - 8/23
The move to the Big Ten may mean playing for a third conference title in three years (last two in the Big 12).
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
13

0-0 - 3/23
RB Knile Davis may be out with injury, but QB Tyler Wilson is bound to shine … could this be 2011’s Auburn?
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
14

0-0 - 9/24
Mark Dantonio has built a solid foundation, and the 2010 Big Ten tri-champs welcome back QB Kirk Cousins.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
15

0-0 - 5/25
New QB Logan Thomas is not Tyrod Taylor in style, but he has Frank Beamer excited about his potential from the pocket.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
16

0-0 - 14/34
Loss of key personnel leads to relatively low ranking, but Gary Patterson's Horned Frogs will reload and challenge Boise State in the MWC. All-American LB Tank Carder can't wait.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
17

0-0 - 17/37
Brian Kelly is one of the best in the business, and a BCS game is attainable.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
18

0-0 - 14/18
This program can't wait to kick off the season and put the focus back on the field. There is a lot of talent in Columbus.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
19

0-0 - 5/31
The normal depth at each position does not exist, but Monte Kiffin's defense will be vastly improved over last year's version. And, QB Matt Barkley is eager to show that he can play on Luck's level.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
20

0-0 - 14/28
LB Vontaze Burfict is a "Force Majeure" on defense, and the Sun Devils are aiming high in 2011.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
21

0-0 - 15/21
Dan Mullen is the perfect leader to challenge the SEC West powers, and QB Chris Relf gives him the confidence to do so.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
22

0-0 - 19/39
The Tigers have won 40 games in the last four years … sounds like a program to me.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
23

0-0 - 10/35
The Longhorns were 5-7 in 2010? Wholesale coaching and program changes will lead to a turnaround.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
24

0-0 - 12/29
New coach Dana Holgerson gets the job a year early, and he wants his offense to move with similar speed … QB Geno Smith will orchestrate.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
25

0-0 - 24/25
Have you seen sophomore QB Jeff Godfrey? He may be the best college QB in the state of Florida, and led the Knights over Georgia in the Liberty Bowl -- convincingly.
Team: Home | Stats | Schedule
