As always, there is what's to like, what's not to like, and the always fun "what are they smoking?!?" section.
What's to like
- Baylor 5th in Big XII South. I may not have been paying that much attention in the other magazines, but this is the first time I have seen Baylor out of the cellar. Could be a big year in Waco.
- Vanderbilt 4th in SEC East. That is a bold prediction, as most have expected the 'Dores to fall back into oblivion this season. Apparently the folks at Athlon believe the boys from Nashville can start a bowl streak.
What's not to like
- Oregon #4 best QB unit. I find this quite hard to believe as this program had QBs dropping like flies just last pre-season, and now they have the best QBs in the country behind Florida, Oklahoma and Texas?
- Rolondo McClain and Rennie Curran 3rd team AA. It is not so bad that these two are so far down the totem pole, it's that South Carolina LB Eric Norwood has come out of no where in the previous preview magazines and taken a spot on the 2nd team.
- The absolutely yawner this preview magazine has on a national level. The regional ones have at least some substance, but there is very little in the way of something to differentiate this mag from the rest. Very disappointing.
What are they smoking?!?
- Nothing, apparently, just taking a nice dose of Tylenol PM, because this preview mag is a good one to read when you can't fall asleep.
Top Ten
- Florida
- Oklahoma
- Texas
- USC
- Ohio State
- Alabama
- Penn St.
- Virginia Tech
- Oklahoma State
- Ole Miss
