New No. 1

_ Wow! those college football "analyst" all have egg on their face. After the past three seasons have they not noticed that USC can not get through the terrible Pac-10 without a hiccup. Maybe now the USC slurping on espn can stop. This will make the college football season so much better! Now with USC out of the way, maybe that leaves the door open for a possible undefeated Penn State team to sneak in. JoPa rides again! haha _

The funny thing is I think they are the best team in the country. They have the most talent and I believe they will be there at the end with a chance. You are right though, for whatever reason, they seem to lose focus against the teams they are supposed to beat. Then, if you look at how they were playing at the end of last year, I don't think there was anybody that was going to beat them. They just have so much team speed and are deep everywhere. I don't necessarily like them but I respect their program and think they are good for college football. I don't get the hatred that many people in the south have for them (well, I get it but I don't agree with it) but I'm one of those that believes they will be right back in it at the end of the year.

_ If I recall correctly, last year's National Champion lost 2 games to average teams (Arkansas & Kentucky) and still played for and won the National Championship. _

You are absolutely correct. BUT, there were no undefeated teams at the top. I think this year is one of those years that you will have to go undefeated to reach the NC.

I disagree I cannot see anyone going undefeated this year. To much parity at the top.
