Sporting News top 10 for CFB

1. LSU. We’re buying into the maturation of quarterback Jordan Jefferson; that, and the Tigers’ nasty defense and elite skill players on offense. And at this point, we’re simply not betting against the SEC. Period. 2. Oklahoma: The Sooners’ interior lines are terrific, and quarterback Landry Jones last year had the quietest 38 touchdown passes in the history of the game. Freshman tailback Brandon Williams will bring it all together.
3. Alabama.
4. Stanford.
5. Oregon: Welcome to the world of the SEC, and the Big 12 prior to this season: More times than not, two teams in the same division will be the two best teams in your conference.
6. Boise State: Mountain West Conference or Western Athletic Conference. Does it really make a difference? Boise – fair or not -- only gets to New Orleans with complete chaos.
7. Florida State: Seriously, this is the year the ‘Noles return to the nation’s elite.
8. Ohio State.
9. Oklahoma State.
10. Nebraska: There’s a chance – a very good chance – electric quarterback Taylor Martinez and a wicked defense can lead to great things in Year 1 in the Big Ten. If Martinez can stay healthy.

My Comments
With every quote from the "mad hatter" about Jordan Jefferson improving I actually get closer to puking.  His spring game performance was the same passes and slow decisions we have watched for 3 years.   This leaves me with a jaded feeling on LSU being national champ favorites.  
Oklahoma should be better and seem like a solid contender.
Florida State would really be a special situation.
Stanford?  Really?

In the end,  I expect Bama to roll again this year.
