Ehhhh he's making some lose ties here, I don't think were the sexy pick at all, I'd actually say that'd b Oklahoma this year. Infact there r many writers who have proclaimed our short coming this season such as this writer. Ole Miss and Georgia were the sexy picks due to their high powered offenses: sneed & mccluster for miss and Stafford, Moreno, & Green. We have been reamed 4 our offense and our inability to find a qb all offseason. When on earth is is a big stalwart d sexy?? Also both old miss and Georgia played sec schedules, making it harder to live up to the hype. Meanwhile this has been arguably our most favorable schedule this decade. Washington with their high powered offense is a more sexy pick, especially when so many"analysts"pick us to lose that game. When is a defense sexy?? Last time I checked Iowa is near our ranking with a top major d and a better offense and they aren't a sexy pick. Offenses make a team sexy and defenses make teams resemble more of a brawny force that is respected, instead of lauded over.
