8. Ole Miss to compete for the SEC. I really like this team this season because of a relatively weak division (save for Florida), and the fact that I do think they can actually beat the Gators, though not every time out. Snead seems to have Tebow's number and I see this team making the Sugar Bowl.
7. Virginia Tech. A bit under the radar this year after a letdown in 2008, as the team lost four games. However, there's really not much competition in the ACC and the Hokies should start out at number seven for that reason. A tough schedule may force them to sink in the rankings.
6. Ohio State. I could see Ohio State back in the national title game, assuming the team wins the games it's supposed to. Terrell Pryor will do some great things for this team, and if they don't make the BCS championship, a Rose Bowl is in the cards.
5. Alabama. Yet another team that could easily compete for the BCS championship. Alabama should coast through most of the season, save for its match-ups against LSU, the Vols, and the Rebels. While an undefeated season is unlikely, the team's finish shouldn't be too far off.
4. USC. The hardest game for USC will take place against the Buckeyes, which takes place during once of the first few weeks. This is a young team and will be tested many times throughout the season. Still, there's plenty of talent to go around and this team could go all the way.
3. Oklahoma. Some of the best wide outs in college football, the returning Heisman champ at quarterback, and a polished team all around makes Oklahoma a sure contender for the BCS championship. The team's biggest hurdle is fellow division mate, Texas.
2. Texas. The Longhorns are simply one of the best out there, and Colt McCoy should have a huge season, as he's eyeing a Heisman. There aren't many better defenses out there and Texas remains a favorite to make the title game.
1. Florida. As long as Tim Tebow is on the team, there's no reason to discount this team's ability. Almost all of the entire team last season (besides Harvin and Nelson) is back for another season, and Florida has the experience and the talent to go all away. The Gators are the favorites entering the season.
