There are still players left to declare for the draft and recruiting and spring ball will change some things, but I wanted to jot down an early top 10 for next year while I remembered:
1. Stanford
2. Oregon
3. Oklahoma
4. Alabama
5. Texas A&M
6. South Carolina
7. Texas
8. Arkansas
9. TCU
10. Nebraska

Stanford #1 with no coach? How stupid are you HP? Do you just throw this crap out for a response like mine or do you believe what you write?
#1 AUBURN
#2 Alabama
#3 Akansas
#4 LSU
#5 Florida
#6 Mississippi State
#7 Wisconsin
#8 VT
#9 FSU
#10 Oklahoma
There you go. No bias at all just an honest opinion cause untill they play each other those teams will have good records. One by one they will beat each other til Auburn is the last man standing.

HP, this list is worse than your preseason one. You know, the one where you had Texas and Miami as 1 and 2.

Ed,
You are sooo right. My picks were mostly tongue in cheek due to HP’s pac1 homerism.
No way either UO or the color U win jack shit in 2011. Why would a team with no coach win? Luck messed up money wise but his family ain’t hurtin so he can have fun in school. That being said he may change his mind as young folks often do.
So far as the duckies…there’s your flash in the pan. As much as I dis-like USC and HP’s connection to them, they will take over the pac1 one sooner than most expect. Kiffin is a joke but he’ll still BS the kids needed to win.
Bucknut
Come on. I know the big ten had a down year in the bowls but no love for OSU. They’ll get all their starters back in 3 games cause the NCAA will reduce it, mark my words. Your pac10 homerism is shining through.
Outrage
Texas in the top 10 is outrageous.

Bucky…I hope my SEC homerism wasn’t too obvious? lmao Hey man I could get use to this winnin thang. I left out OSU (just can’t say the and am tryin to reframe from duh) just to make room for a couple of HP’s selections so I wouldn’t seem biased in any way. You believe that one don’t you? lol
