(1.) Florida
(2.) Texas --- [if Tech is any indication, then I'm not sure I believe this]
(3.) Tennessee --- [still not sold, but they are at home]
(4.) Pitt
(5.) Georgia State --- [the Pirates can be nasty at home; but this game is not in Greenville]
(6.) Baylor --- [I'd like to think otherwise, just ... you know]
(7.) UAB --- [I have an itchy feeling saying maybe not, but they've been solid at home]
(8.) Alabama
(9.) North Carolina --- [they seem to just keep improving]
(10.) SMU --- [is the moment too big for a first time head coach? or do the Tigers win?]
(11.) Kansas State --- [though the way the Big XII has played, who knows?]
(12.) Ole Miss --- [613 yards against Florida? Half that productivity should beat Kentucky]
(13.) Florida State --- [I came close to going the other way, but couldn't sell myself on it]
(14.) Air Force --- [the Falcons only play 2 games this year; they make this one count]
(15.) Oklahoma --- [I am not so sure, now]
(16.) Auburn --- [the Bulldogs have some issues on offense]
(17.) UCF

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
