In continuing with TSF's 2007 NCAA Football season preview, I'm going to tie-in some randomish thoughts and ideas in list form that I have on the upcoming season to go along with all of Ming's Conference Previews that I'm sure you've all already read. If you haven't then do it and start getting excited for the upcoming season.

I disagree with some things...

Florida's #6 ranking is perfect they haveone of the most dynamic offenses in the country, the defense has plenty of young talent but it sure will help with the offense scoring 30+ points a game. FLA is lucky they play the majority of their tougher conf. games at home (Tenn, Auburn). Urban Meyer will have them ready for their conference opener on Sept. 15. They are the defending national champions so why should they be lower than 6th with what they have left? I expect them to lose in the sec ship and play in a bcs bowl.

OU is also not too high, remember bob stoops is their head coach? YEs they do lose a QB, for what the 4th year in a row or something? OU will compete with Texas not only for the Big 12 but the BCS Title as well.

But I do agree with OSU being too high they should be somewhere between 15-20.

Heres what I would have done:
Too High:
OSU
Georgia
FSU

Too Low:
V Tech
Louisville

Overrated:
Michigan
Georgia
Auburn
