I am a huge Notre Dame fan and I see them finishing around 20-25 this year. I think there offense will be a lot better and I expect Clausen to take a big step this year(especially not turning the ball over as much). They are ranked so high because there schedule is so easy. A lot of the teams they play are in a rebuilding year or are just not that good besides USC.

Marcello is a fan of UT I believe

Can't see past Florida unless Tebow gets hurts he is an absolute fecking beast of a player, the SEC is a tough division though, so they could always lose a game like last year, but they still won the title last year too.

Yeah, the SEC is a brutal division and if you don't bring your A game you can lose.
 
Yeah and add to that even if you make it through the reg undefeated a la Bama last year, you still have to play a team like Florida to get to the national title game. That said I hate Nick Saban and am glad that that twat lost.
 
I just read that Florida and Texas have not played in nearly 70 years. That seems like a really long time.
 
T.J. Yates needs to stay healthy, after losing so many good players last year i'm a bit concerned we might be off the gas

They should have played last January.


And yes, I support the UT. The only hiccups I see on their schedule is OU in Dallas and at OkState.

Oklahoma State could be pretty good from what I read about them. Hopefully UT makes it through there schedule
