Preseason Power Rankings
Each week during college football season, I will post two thing: My power rankings based on how good the team is (partially based on wins and losses) and my 3*+ Plays.
This is my preseason power rankings. Please note that I have teams projected to go 7-5 on the list ahead of 9-3 teams. When I make my projections, I account for the chance of upsets, schedule strength, trends, etc. My power rankings are based on how good the team is.
Thank you and enjoy!
Who is More Likely to Three-Peat: USC or New England?
By Adam Nelson
The last two coaches of the New England Patriots, Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick, have something else in common- they’re both trying to lead their respective teams (USC and New England) to a third straight championship. Both teams have dominated football over the past two seasons; the Patriots have gone 34-4 (including playoff games). Pete Carroll and his USC Trojans have lost only one game since 2003, and that was a three-point overtime loss at Cal….23 games ago. Both teams have a great chance to three-peat this season, but who is more likely to? Let’s look in-depth at both teams and who is standing in the way of them making history this year:

New Life to a Crook
I am speechless.
Despite an article in the Washington Times; despite a forceful editorial in the local newspaper; despite outrage among numerous different bloggers; despite the news being mentioned in almost every newspaper across the country; despite a Tony Kornheiser quip on PTI; despite the fact that this guy lied to the Waco police during a murder investigation to cover his own ass; despite saying to the faces of the parents of a student who had just been shot that their son was a drug dealer; despite cheating the system by illegally paying the tuition of two players via scholarships above the limit of 13; despite the NCAA giving basically a ten-year ban on the hiring of this man, the Dakota Wizards, a CBA power than has won four titles in the last half-dozen years, has hired Dave Bliss as their new head basketball coach.
And that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these cleats are gonna run all over you. That’s going to be the motto of some of the fast college football players this season. Some of the best playmakers are the ones that can make plays with their feet. There are some guys that really stick out to me and to other college football fans.

University sixth sense
There is a human sixth sense, but it has absolutely nothing to with seeing dead people. Problem is we can’t comprehend its depth or implication. At the American University, the sixth sense is teaming enough for the astute to heed notice.

Missing the Point
Dave Bliss should have been shot.
As it happened, Patrick Dennehy got shot by Carlton Dotson and died. All that happened to Bliss was that he lost his job and the NCAA has basically barred him from coaching for the next ten years.
The University of Tennessee have been picked by many to win the SEC this year. “Auburn’s lost too many good players,” says weary sportswriter after weary sportswriter, “Tennessee have got some incredible quarterbacking arms” others say. “Their wide receiving corps is the best they’ve ever had”, says another, whilst caressing his Peyton Manning photograph in a slightly more loving way then grown men really should do.
Well, UT have some problems. Here’s what we think….
