I know that Oregon has good athletes and all, but you people do remember that they lost their coach who basically was the brains behind that scheme? I'm not saying they will experience an Arkansas-level dropoff, but come on, losing Kelly was a huge deal.

Predict the top 10 at the end of the 2013 season

Good point atl. But I think if they can get past Stanford, they will still be the highest ranked Pac 10 school. Losing their coach is hard to judge. They might have a dropoff like the Saints had last year, or they might not miss a beat....

They don't have a high level of competition in the PAC 12, and Oregon still has some major talent.

You do realize Oregon was trending up well before Chip. There are 8 coordinators with decades at the team.

And we have a winner. Losing Chip will hurt a lot more than most people think. Oregon might still have talent, but will it be properly utilized this season without Kelly? Belloti was a good coach but they didn't start putting up the video game numbers until they hired Kelly away from New Hampshire.
Ohio State will lose at least one of the following three games: Wisconsin, at Northwestern, at Michigan. There's a big difference between playing with no chance of a bowl or championship and playing with a target on their backs all season.
Louisville's only real chance to lose is at Cincinnati. I think they'll go 12-0, just not sure that'll be enough to get them to the BCSCG.
Texas has the talent to be in the discussion, but they have another arse kicking in Dallas awaiting them. Bob Stoops absolutely owns Mack Brown.
FSU will lose one game they shouldn't because of a freshman QB.
Alabama, UGA, LSU, and Carolina will all be top 10. I need to see more from Driskel this season before I can be comfortable putting Florida in there.
The top 10 in no order will be:
Alabama
Georgia
LSU
S Carolina
Louisville
Stanford
Ohio State
Clemson
Nebraska (look at their schedule)
Virginia Tech (lose badly to Alabama, quietly rip off 10 or so wins)
