But why not. I went back a couple of pages and didn't see anything. Figured some people might be interested.

Not to get too riled over this, but LSU at 20?

They take a big hit this coming season when their entire first string offense gets stranded on a desert island for the remainder of the year after partying from a big win. The team struggles for the rest of the season and will be ranked 20th to begin 2014 because of uncertainties. There is a chance the formerly deserted players will fit back into the team easily but there could be lasting trauma.

I bet Oregon would take a huge plummet if Kelly left

They will still have Mariota and DeAnthony Thomas back. Rumors are they will hire within (probably the OC like last time). I don't imagine a big drop off in rankings or performance in the short term for Oregon, unfortunately.

If Saban leaves, how far do they(Alabama) drop?

Saban has built it so strong, that they would still be good for 2 or even 3 years after he left, and that's if his successor was mediocre.

I'm doubting they'd in the NC hunt without Saban.

Why does it scare me to see us ranked so high in preseason polls?? Probably because teams rarely end up looking much like they do in the early polls at the end of the season lol.

Yes there are two Buckeyes in Ann arbor on this site!

Geez, I thought it was bad that when Michigan didn't play PSU or Wiscy and how OSU doesn't have to play MSU and Nebraska. Wisconsin doesn't play Michigan, MSU, or Nebraska next year. That's such a joke.

Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

Actually I think it's smart - this is exactly what happened in God's conference this year. If you can't beat them, join them. The only problem is when it happens in the B1G, it gets called out - conference perceptrion is a killer. Kind of like OSU, Bama, and UGA all having a relatively similar regular season strengh of schedule rankings, sans conference championships, but only OSU was acknowledged for playing the weak schedule. But whatever, win all your games and you shouldn't have to worry.
