From the look of Boise’s scrimmage yesterday they will finish out 10 and 2 with losses to Georgia and TCU.
Wow…after 1 down year the Longhorns do not appear in the top 25. Sad, they’ll be there though before the end of the year.
Why do they never learn that Norte Damn is over rated every year and not rank them… USC in the top 25 why would you put a school who has been in as much touble as they have in the top 25 what a joke these preseason ranking are a joke. Go WVU!!!!
OU wins it all this year, no question about it
