Who do you think will win the NC next year? Who is the best offensive team? Who is the best defensive team Who are your sleepers? Who are your disappointments? Do you think Coker is ruining the Miami program? Will Mississippi State be good next year? Stanford? North Carolina? Do you think Miami wil win the NC next year? Will Texas disappoint without Vince Young?
I think my NC will be USC. Although Texas, Florida, WV, Texas, Aurburn, Ohio State, maybe Miami and ND and Tennessee might be there too.
The best offensive team is still USC. Even though they lose Justice, Leinart and Bush and White to the Draft, I still think the offense will be great.
Other Canidates, ND, Florida, Texas, Texas Tech, Penn State, Arizona State, Louisville, and Clemson and UNT.
The Best defensive team is Penn State. Even tough they lose Tamba Hali, The defense will still be the shutdown defense it was last year. And they return Paul Poslunsny (sp?)
My sleeper is Washington State. The passing game should be devastating thanks to Jason Hill’s decision not to go off early to the NFL. QB Alex Brink started to come into his own as last season went on and is the team’s unquestioned leader going into this year. Most of the defense returns, while the offensive line, with a little patching, should be solid. The Cougars lost five games last year by four points or fewer, so just a few good breaks and a few more clutch plays might make them a player in the Pac 10 race.
other canidates: Purdue, South Carolina, Arkansas, Oregon State, Arizona State, and Nebraska. And UConn, Stanford and UNC.
My disappointment is Miami. here’s a lot of work to be done with all the new assistant coaches, and there’s a huge concern on the offensive line that loses All-America tackle Eric Winston, among others. The receiving corps might need a bit of a boost after losing WR Sinorice Moss. Is Ryan Moore ready to live up to all his promise and become a true number one target? That remains to be seen. And I just can't trust Coker. He's a hoorible coach. The LSU game should've been close and the FSU, GT games should've been blowouts.
Other canidates: UCLA, Georgia (they lose a lot of players), Texas Tech (gimmick offense), NC State (see Georgia. add "on defense" after "players" on the reason why UGa is a disappointment).

I think Ohio State is winning the championship in 2006. Other than a few players, the team has retained almost all of its key parts.
Notre Dame will probably field the best offense.
LSU's defense will probably the best, but I won't count out Oklahoma, Alabama or Michigan.
I think Iowa State may surprise a lot of people this year. I think they will win the Big XII North. Oregon will also surprise people. I like the Ducks to win the PAC 10.
Penn State is currently ranked No. 13 in the offseason polls. The Nittany Lions lost tons of talent on defense and offensive line. They shouldn't be ranked until QB Anthony Morelli proves himself. Miami will once again disappoint, which brings me to...
Coker stinks. Miami hasn't been successful ever since Butch Davis' final recruits graduated. He needs to be fired if the Hurricanes don't win the ACC.
I'll have to get back to you on Stanford, NC and Mississippi State (although I don't think Miss. St. will be good). It's too early and I want to see what happens during their spring practices and the spring game.
No, Miami won't reach a BCS Bowl. I like Ohio State, Notre Dame and Oregon.
I wouldn't say Texas will DISAPPOINT. I don't think anyone will expect Texas to be that successful without him. So, they can't possibly disappoint unless they have a losing record. That just won't happen.
Believe it or not, I didn't forget about USC. But who knows how good they'll be? The Trojans will be missing Leinart, Bush, LenDale White, Dominique Byrd, Winston Justice, Taitusi Lutui, Darnell Bing and Frostee Rucker.
Did you ferget the Trojans is in that conference? HAHAHAHAHA!!
