Number 25 in Ranking is Special To Me

Donnie sent me this link from SBNation.
Top 25 in 2012 Football.
Ranked 25.  Louisiana Tech.

25. Louisville Virginia Tech Texas A&M Nebraska Oklahoma State Georgia Tech Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. You're supposed to get a little wacky with your final pick (like Millen and Smith with Clemson), right? I like Louisville, I think Virginia Tech should always be in the Top 25, I think Kevin Sumlin has more to work with in College Station than we probably think, and Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech should certainly be considered here as well. But if we're going for an off-the-wall pick, consider that virtually every interesting piece from an underrated Louisiana Tech squad -- one that went 12 rounds with an improved TCU squad in their bowl game -- returns, including a coaching staff that wasn't picked apart by the big boys (yet). Tech returns quarterbackColby Cameron, receiver Quinton Patton, four starting offensive linemen, underrated defensive tackles Justin Ellis and Shakeil Lucas, and most of their secondary. They should be one of the country's best mid-major squads, so they get the Courtesy No. 25 here.

Now Bruce Feldman from CBS Sports is calling Louisiana Tech a sleeper that could make noise in the BCS.
