I really hope this is a year we can talk about Nebraska without a sad shake of the head.

They misspelled "Rutgers"

It’s amazing to me how far Utah has come along.  The only PAC 12 team in the top 10, wow.  
 

I hope my Trojans return to dominance under Lincoln Riley and the boat load of transfers who came to play with him.

The Aggies will be lucky to end the season in the top 20

West Coast is surprisingly under-represented. It explains @Dottles apathy.

I’m tired of opinions and polls

I will watch a little if it is in view, but I typically won't go out of my way unless it is to observe a typical MI beatdown or in the big bowl.

I think the recruiting power is so concentrated these days with mostly the same top teams in the hunt, that it just isn't as exciting as it used to be.  I will be mildly excited if tOSU is going good, but pro football is where it is at, at least for me.

We do miss your threads on the upcoming NFL season

Maybe a nap, a BM, and then back to opinions????

Well the PAC 12 hasn’t been good and the few teams that had  made major bowls recently get blown out.  That and many coaches don’t really follow west coast football as you know damn well they are not recording the games and not staying up until the wee hours to watch.

 My gut tells me USC will be a top 10 program again and Utah & Oregon will be top 25 but not top 15.

Washington has become irrelevant

Unfortunately so.  A once great football program.. Hopefully they find a good coach and return to prominence.

Even so, Fisher's feud with Saban kept the off season interesting.
