It'll be here before you know it. I just figured I'd set this up like I did last year for pre-season talk and smack.
I won't post a million pre-season polls but I'll go with rivals.com and if anybody sees a more interesting one they can post it up.

Preseason Top 10 (top 25 at the site)
1. Southern California
2. Michigan
3. LSU
4. West Virginia
5. Florida
6. Ohio State
7. Virginia Tech
8. Oklahoma
9. Texas
10. Wisconsin
Now here's my personal top 10. Judging by many people and polls, it's either USC, LSU, or Michigan at 1, 2, and 3. After that it's anybody's guess.
1. LSU - I HATE and I mean HATE Les Miles but the man is ass backwards in talent down there.
2. USC - They have their defense returning but must replace some offence. Rebuild or reload?
3. Michigan - Sorry Accord but I feel bad ranking them even this high.
4. West Virginia
5. Florida
6. Virginia Tech
7. Ohio State
8. Texas
9. Louisville
10. OU
Anyway, in pre-season chat Les Miles has already called out Nick Saban and Pete Carroll.

"I would like nothing better than to play USC for the [national] title," Miles reportedly said in a speech to a heavily pro-LSU gathering in New Orleans. "I can tell you this, that they have a much easier road to travel. They're going to play real knockdown drag-outs with UCLA and Washington, Cal-Berkeley, Stanford -- some real juggernauts -- and they're going to end up, it would be my guess, in some position so if they win a game or two, that they'll end up in the title [game]. "I would like that path for us. I think the SEC provides much stiffer competition."

The thing was with him at OSU his trash talk didn't mean shit because OSU sucked. With him at LSU now he actually has talent and his ego just gets bigger and bigger.
As for the first couple of weeks there's only a couple of games that I think will really be good and I'm looking forward to.
USC @ Nebraska - Would like the upset but Dr. Tom or the 90's Huskers aren't playing. USC rolls.
Miami @ OU - Close game but I think OU wins. Miami is away, new coach, and a new game plan.
Anyway, can't wait for things to begin!
Oh yeah...blindside.AMG I guess you can post in here too even though you support...you know...that team.
