3) Ohio State... I think Clarretts situation alone would knock them out, but they can't possibly win ALL the close one's like they did last year.
4) Oklahoma .. My hearts choice, since I'm an alum. Will be great defensively and they'll have to be. Replacing the skills and a twice surgically repaired QB with a totally untested back up will be tough to overcome. They might just pull it off if the D scores twice a game. And this team is DEEP and Experienced. They won't get outcoached either and they won't play not to win. Somebody will have to play over their heads to beat um. Or in Texas ' case they will have to play to the full extent of their talent!!
5) Don't completely write off North Texas (particularly as a "High School " team. They finished last year with 7 straight wins including a bowl game. They won't pull and NIU, at least not this week!
6) K- State - Should be fun to watch the shoot ous , but the D has major issues! No way national title but will likely get to the Conference title game.
Best regards!! I love this time of year!! BOOMER SOONER #1 til someone proves otherwise!!

Um, it's not like NIU sucks, they did win the MAC West or East or whatever last year, and they had a "legitimate" Heisman Cotender in "Turner the Burner". Think about it, if Maryland was at FULL strength, and didn't commit those penalties it would've been 13-10 MD.
Btw, you are too biased.
