65 predictions, #9-7

#9: Pac 10 (I think the Pac 10 is quite a bit stronger this year than last, maybe even enough to keep a 1-loss USC team in the NC discussion with the other 1-loss teams: as opposed to last year where they were relegated to the back of the bus)

1: USC
2: Oregon (by virtue of a win at home over USC on Halloween the Ducks get the title of Top Dwarf)
3: California
4: Oregon State
5: Stanford
6: UCLA
7: Arizona State
8: Washington
9: Arizona
10: Washington State

#8: SEC East (number 5 and 6 are still pretty solid teams)

1: Florida
2: Georgia
3: Tennessee
4: South Carolina
5: Vanderbilt
6: Kentucky

#7: Big 12 South (I'll call this the toughest division in the country: UT/OU as strong or stronger than UF and GA, OK State and Tech over Tennessee and South Carolina, though Vandy and Kentucky currently provide more competition than Baylor and A&M)

1: Texas
2: Oklahoma
3: OK State
4: Tech
5: Texas A&M
6: Baylor
If Baylor can manage to upset OK State at home on October 24, I would have a 4-way tie for 3rd in the division: no idea how Big 12 breaks that tie (if at all)

MAC, C-USA, ACC and Big 12 Conference Championship games coming soon. SEC championship game coming tomorrow (since the SEC is a tougher league than the Big 12, in aggregate). My picks for the National Championship on Thursday: the start of the college football season!
