people forget the shellacking we put on the Bruins last year.

eyes to the front boys, eyes to the front...

So anyone see a non P5 making the show?

The Ucla picks I get. But all the Baylor love is very surprising.

Oklahoma and Baylor bring the most potential to the table this year in the Big 12.

Those are the top 2 teams going into the season in that Conference.

Beings that politics will work into this playoff deal, it is highly likely that the committee will attempt to not take 2 teams from one Conference. This leads me to believe you are about 90% likely to see 1 team from the PAC, 1 from SEC, 1 from ACC or BIG, and 1 from the Big 12 this season.

So I'm choosing between Baylor and Oklahoma, and ultimately choosing Baylor. It really is not too wild.

I don't see UCLA having any trouble with Texas. ASU is a road game, but I think they'll probably win that too considering all of ASU's losses in players (particularly on defense). The Oregon game seems like a loss to me at this point. Although last year was last year, they got drilled in that game and don't seem to match up well with the Ducks and to their defense, a lot of teams don't.

I swear the month of August always ends up lasting like a half a year.

Fall Practice seems to just go on forever.

UCLA lost all their playmakers on D. Who kept the bruins in the Oregon game for the first half.

yes, yes it does.

For some reason I dont have much confidence in UCLA. I know they should be good, but something is holding me back on them.

Odd thing about Baylor. They will probably have the best offense in the league. They may have one of the best DLs in the league. Lot of people dismissing Baylor, but they did dismantle OU last year and there is a legit argument that they will be better.

I wouldn't be totally shocked to see BU run the table, that offense is ridiculous when its on. I would love to see a BU Oregon matchup at some point this season, be it playoff or bowl or whatever. Would be fun imo.
