    LSU behind MI, TX, GA ... muahahahahahahahahaha ... this **** ain't funny any more

    They're gonna rip White's limbs off and crap down his neck this year.

    I guess they gotta ... see it again

    ... it's kinda hard to get the first time (They Call Me Trinity)

    1. Oklahoma 0-0 next game: Bowling Green
    As hard as it may seem to fathom, the offense should be better than ever with ten starters back from the juggernaut that averaged 42.9 points per game. The running game will be even better with star recruit Adrian Peterson joining the mix, while the passing attack is injury-proof with three great backups behind Heisman winning quarterback Jason White and too many talented receivers to use. The defense might be without major award winners Tommie Harris, Teddy Lehman and Derrick Strait, but this is Oklahoma; reloading isn't a problem.

    2. USC 1-0 next game: at BYU
    The margin was razor-thin between USC and Oklahoma in the CFN preseason rankings and the Virginia Tech game showed just enough holes, even though it was the first game of the year, to drop the Trojans one spot. Even though USC looked decent in the second half against a better-than-expected Virginia Tech team, there still has to be a concern about the wide receivers and the inconsistent play from the offensive line. Remember, the rankings are based on how good the teams are at the moment, and right now, after the way Virginia Tech played early on, it's hard to think USC's defense would be able to keep the Oklahoma offense consistently in check.

    NCAA FB Kickoff 2004
    Get everything you need to know about the upcoming season, including breakdowns of the best teams, conferences and players.

    3. Michigan 0-0 next game: Miami (OH)
    Most take a passing glance at the 2004 Wolverines and notice there's no Chris Perry, no John Navarre and most of the defensive line needs to be replaced. Upon closer inspection, there are several good, experienced players ready to step in and fill the holes. The defensive line looks to be as good as ever with the emergence of junior tackles Larry Harrison and Gabe Watson along with star-in-the-making pass rusher LaMarr Woodley. The running-back-by-committee approach will work just well enough to take the heat off the passing game, and either Matt Gutierrez or Clayton Richard will walk into a dream situation for a quarterback with the best receiving corps in America to throw to and a nasty line to provide the time.

    4. Texas 0-0 next game: North Texas
    A loss to Oklahoma would make this another disappointing season no matter what else happens. There's no one else on the schedule that, theoretically, can come within two touchdowns of the Longhorns with the best lines Mack Brown has had yet and superstars like RB Cedric Benson and LB Derrick Johnson. If Texas can focus on each step and play up to its capability week-in-and-week-out, this is a one game season. The pressure is always there in Austin, so there's no reason to expect anything less than a national title run from a program due for a few big breaks.

    5. Georgia 0-0 next game: Georgia Southern
    The Dawgs are due to take the next step and get to the national title game. Enough experience returns on both sides of the ball to be ranked among the top three in the nation if the offense is more consistent. The schedule is always scary in the SEC, but great teams can get through a slate like this. The bar is set high now, and this could be the Georgia team that leaps over it on its way to Miami in early January.

    6. LSU 0-0 next game: Oregon State
    This team has warp speed everywhere. The Tigers will try and repeat as national champions with the athleticism and talent to beat anyone in the country and the attitude that it can win every game. It won't be easy with several key personnel losses and a brutal SEC schedule to go along with the bull's-eye that a national title brings. No matter what happens, this program should be here to stay among the elite.

    :hihi:

    Wake me up for LSU's Orange Bowl game with Miami!

    Dang I hope they don't get us in the top 10 this early. I would like to stay around 17th for awhile, at least until Sept. 18th :)
