[GoSooners]

Who do you like?

 

[REDEYE]

USC , OKLA , TEXAS In that order..the rest probably not

 

[MantisToboggan]

USC, in 3 years after they fire Sark and someone else wins with his recruits.

I tend to agree about USC. i don't think the Big 12 is a strong enough overall conference to produce a champion. I also think their chances are diminised by not having a championship game and so not being able to qualify for the final four. Like what happened this season...

I was referring to "once great"...UCLA was never a great football program. At least not in modern times.

Notre Dame has a ton coming back and everyone knows they get the nod if they are even with someone else

ND would be my second choice

I know. But think they will get there. Good recruits and young coaches usually mean good stuff.

Georgia is my darkhorse............They are due..........Better chance than others on that list.

Michigan maybe with new coach..............USC maybe...........The rest need some work.

If they had given me 9 or 10 slots i would have put Georgia in there, and maybe Penn State. I'm not sure Georgia will ever get over the hump with Richt. But i could be wrong. They've had their chances in the past and have always fallen short. I also think Michigan will make a comeback. The only trouble is, they are in the same division as Ohio State and Penn State. It's going to make it tough for them as long as Meyer is still around. But if there is any coach who can give Meyer health problems again it's Harbaugh. Ha!

Today was National Signing Day. It looks like USC had the number 1 or 2 class, depending on who you believe. Tennessee was also top 5. If you want to find future national champions, look no further than top 10 Rivals recruiting classes for the two prior and leading up to the NC Game...

I voted Michigan; but feel you should include Penn St; Actually I see Nittany Lions winning Nat'l championship within 5 years..

I'll be curious to see how Franklin does when he is expected to win as opposed to the low expectations they had at Vandy. Lots more pressure at a school like Penn State. The only problem is PSU still has a little of that ick factor left over from Sandusky. And they aren't quite there in recruiting yet. Still not bad though considering. They ended up #15 according to Rivals...

I got USC as they have the easiest path (not as easy as B10 teams).

 

[HuskerFan1]
