Who is your AP Top 5 in college football at the end of the season right in time for the BCS games?
Guru:
I think that Oklahoma can stay on top throughout the season. Let’s not forget, this is college football, where anything can and will happen. However,
I think these five teams will stay on the top throughout the year. As much as I love Bama, and took them against Georgia, they have a tough road ahead. Saban will have them ready, and they have a shot to run the table (even in the SEC). What about USC? I can see them running well the rest of the way?barring any more groundbreaking losses to unranked opponents. Missou really doesn’t look good in the Big 12 matching up against Oklahoma, but they will stay in the Top 5. Ohio State should also be able to fight back into the Top 5 with a flawless finish this season. However, I think we should have an SEC/Big 12 BCS Championship, which should be a great game.
The Ex:
Oklahoma stays the consensus #1 pick for the remainder of the season, and fights through a difficult Big 12 schedule to keep the voters happy. Florida rights their ship, and defeats LSU in the SEC Championship game to earn their shot at another BCS Championship, with Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin at the helm. It’s Bradford versus Tebow. USC and Ohio State stay in my Top 5 because the rest of their schedule is easy here on out, and they do not play conference title games. Missouri does not play Oklahoma twice this year, so they won’t lose twice in 2008, but they will still feel the same effects as last year. They will have a high-ranking at the end of the season, but Chase Daniel and the Tigers fall short by losing to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game to earn a spot either in the Fiesta Bowl due to Oklahoma being in the National Championship Game. They fall out of the championship picture, but still go to a BCS bowl. And who knows, maybe USC and Ohio State will play each other again in the Rose Bowl, and the Buckeyes can get their revenge.
