1. USC 2. LSU 3. Texas 4. Florida 5. Wisconsin 6. Ohio St. 7. Oklahoma 8. Arkansas 12. Georgia 14. Auburn 16. Tenn 2. LSU 2006 Record: 11-2 The Tigers lose JaMarcus Russell, several top defensive players, and leading receiver Dwayne Bowe. Whatever. Matt Flynn and Ryan Perrilloux are ready to step in and run the offense, there's still speed to burn at receiver, and there aren't as many losses as past years on defense. Replacing safeties LaRon Landry and Jessie Daniels will be the biggest issue. http://cfn.scout.com/2/609740.html
I don't know how in the hell you have Ohio State as #6. I am almost sure Ginn is leaving for the NFL. If that happens, they lose their QB, both receivers and their leading rusher (I think he was a senior). We all know their defense actually sucked (see Michigan and Florida games).
#2 is especially good considering they didnt take schedule into acct. well, lsu will play several great teams, but all at home.
It's nice to get this kind of recognitioin, but #2 is pretty high up there. This means higher expectations. I'd almost rather be ranked a little lower and let people see us climb to the top. However, an automatic #2 ain't bad. :thumb: :geauxtige
