CFTop10 3rd Week Preseason Top10

Only 2 weeks of fall practice left and things are starting to clear up.

10. Oklahoma State - I believe this is the darkhorse team to come out of the Big 12 this year. Very potent offense with Dez Bryant being a Sunday-bound guy.
9. Penn State
8. Virginia Tech
7. Alabama
6. Cal - Riley being named starter adds continuity to the end of last season.
5. Ohio State - Still too much uncertainty on defense to move them up.
4. USC - The injury to Aaron Corp doesn't concern me as much as the injury to Kris O'Dowd and Armond Armstead. The good news is that the backups for both players have had significant play time and success. After their scrimmage this weekend I'll know more about where they are.
3. Oklahoma
2. Florida - Not convinced they have a running game or receivers to add help to TT. Without the threat of Percy Harvin it will be much easier to teams to focus on TT who isn't going to wow you with his speed. I still believe their defense is overrated.
1. Texas - Outstanding talent on both sides of the ball. Unless one of the other top 4 show more consistency in all facets of the game, Texas is #1 to me.

Dropped off: Oregon. Too many questions on the OL and DL to put them on the top 10.

WOOHOO!!! Can't wait for the season to start! Now, I just need to figure out the TV situation, or I may be driving to a sports bar in SLC for every game.
