1. LSU. Until someone beats the SEC in the biggest game of the season, we’ll go with the best team in the best conference.
2. Oklahoma. The big question: Will the loss of the Big 12 Championship game hurt or help the Sooners?
3. Oregon. Ducks have to rebuild on defense, but the foundation is there and the Pac-10 (outside Stanford) is woefully weak.
4. Ohio State. Even a five-game suspension for the team’s top five players won’t be enough to slow the Buckeyes (see: those five games aren’t as tough as they look).
5. Stanford. Don’t be shocked if Stanford repeats 2010, loses only to Oregon and earns a BCS bid.
6. Alabama. You say Mark Ingram, I say Trent Richardson. And the Tide defense will be better than 2010.
7. Oklahoma State. Without Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon returning, ’Pokes are a 7- or 8-win team.
8. Nebraska. The transition to the Big Ten will tougher than most expect, but Huskers are too balanced to not win the Legends Division and get two games against Ohio State.
9. Texas A&M. Don’t be fooled by the Cotton Bowl loss to LSU. The best offense in 2011 will be more prepared next season in a top-heavy Big 12.
10. Boise State. A win vs. Georgia (in Georgia Dome) early in the season, and 2011 looks like 2010: don’t slip up the remaining three months.
