NU should be in the Top 15. Great QB, great backs, solid defense, excellent coaching.
Big Red has a good team and this year's crop of college teams is decidedly down compared to other years.
Texas isn't nearly as good. USC is a fine team, but no way they are as good without Lienart, Bush and that other big back they had. Penn State is off and Notre Dame may have even had a better club last year. Ohio State is maybe better than a year ago, maybe.
I haven't looked, but Big Red should be close to the top in scoring in the nation. We haven't played anyone yet, but scoring 50 plus points per game isn't a bad thing.
