Here is my College Football preseason Top 25...
1. Alabama- Best defense in the nation and "defense wins championships"
2. Oklahoma- Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles lead a strong Sooners offense
3. Oregon- Darren Thomas, LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner lead the blazing fast Ducks offense
4. LSU- If Jordan Jefferson can run a successful offense then the Tigers will win. Big time.
5. Stanford- Andrew Luck.
6. Boise St- Kellen Moore and Doug Martin will anchor the always good Bronco offense
7. Florida St- FSU is a favorite to win their first ACC title since 2005
8. Wisconsin- Russell Wilson makes the Badgers the favorite in the reformed Big Ten
