I can't understand all the LSU love this off/preseason.  Kelly was flat out outcoached and the parts and pieces that folded last season are supposed to be grandiose this season? .... and they may be... but not because of hype.

Milton needs to produce immediately and needs at least two solid receivers to do it... jury is hung there.  It "could" happen, but leaning more towards not.

USC and ND are the same animal in different skins... lots of talk amd lack of quality stacked opponents.

Texas "could" break out.  OU as in Okey won't.  They made a mistake with Vinny.

Bama is relying on a transfer from ND to guide them.  UGA is breaking in a new QB... both their Ds are capable of carrying them, but UGA has the schedule to make it.

OSU and UM, Clemson if that young QB settles in, Oklahoma state, South Carolina could surprise, arky may also surprise, and then a wobbler or two from some out of the way conference that has no business being there. 

But, alas, we all know it'll be four of the usual suspects. 

UM needs to look hard at ECU... they aren't a force by any means, but they have the capacity to win that game.  That would suck for college football if they did because we'd all know it wouldn't happen but once in 20, and likely the first game only in that 20.  Using that same measure is how we figure who will be where by end of season, right?  But that ain't how it works out.....

I wouldn't pick either.  Either could make it, but I'd not wager in either team doing so with my own money.

Kansas State
UNC
Oregon

Realistic:

LSU - already predicting them to win the SEC over UGA & Bama

Penn State - predicting they'll finish second over either OSU/UM

Utah - QB recovering from injury but roster is complete and schedule works

Worth Betting on:

Kansas State

This South Carolina nonsense needs to stop. 
They pulled 2 upsets to end the year, that's all.  And one was against an ACC team, so take that for what you will.
Want to know what else they did?
They lost to Missouri.  Got destroyed by Florida.  Spencer Rattler's QBR was 55.  They were 106th in rushing offense per game.  78th in points allowed per game.
They're not good. 
.
If their coach's last name wasn't Beamer and Tennessee hadn't spread their legs quite so widely, USCe wouldn't be on anyone's radar.

A real question in all of this is which outsider might make the dance.
