USC
Auburn
Alabama

Arizona state is a good program and no one knows what aTm will do yet.
USC just because I thought they were replacing a good many players at key positions.
I believe Wisconsin is better than they are getting credit for and the game will be closer than some expect. They always have a big OL and good RB. I don't care if they're replacing their QB because apparently that doesn't matter after last year.


I have no idea what to think about Auburn. Conventional wisdom would say there will be growing pains on defense but I think that they may be the team to beat this year. I don't know much about Louisville other than who their head coach is.

For the first time since 2008, I'm not really worried about our defense.

I believe we return 8 or 9 players who started on D for us last year. Then we add back immediate starter and maybe best defensive player in Lawson, then Trey Mathews in the secondary. Linebacker is finally a strength for us, secondary has tons of experience, Dline has tons of experience, Cowart was the #1 recruit in the country last year and he isn't even likely to crack to Dline rotation except in certain packages until later in the year. The talent is there. The depth is there in the front 7 though we are very thin in the secondary.

I'm more concerned about our offense, particularly how well our offensive line gels and whether they can both protect JJ and get the short yardage plays. Last year our O-line could neither pass protect nor open holes in short yardage situations.
