Re: NCAA Football 13 Top 25 Ranked Teams
In my 31 years of life I have realized three guarantees. Death Taxes and Notre Dame will be a preseason top 25 team. The sad fact is that with their schedule there is no reason they shouldn't be in the top 25 every year. Even if they lose to their annual opponents that are usually good, they should still finish with 8 wins minimum. USC, Michigan, and lately Michigan St, are tougher teams, but when your other teams are Purdue, BC, Navy, Army or AF, no excuse.
As far as Boise, they are not going to be a consistent top 25 team after this season. They benefited from a good coaching staff with overachieving players and no schedule minus a bowl game and first game of the year. </p> </p>Texas, I don't know what people watched last year, but IMO they are an average QB away from being back in the title hunt. Their D is still one of the best, have great running back tandem, and Jaxson Shipley doesn't look any different then his brother. It all came down to QB play. And young QB's only get better. Maybe these won't get good enough, but that is the missing ingredient in being a top15 team instead of a top 30 team. If you look at the top 25 teams at the end of last year, most at the bottom had 4 losses. At least the ones who play in a BCS Conference. So you could assume that as long as they have at least 8 wins with their name they will be a top 25 team. So who on their schedule is going to give them 5 losses. Wyoming-Win, New Mexico-Win, Ole Miss-Win, Oklahoma St-Win, West Va-Push, Oklahoma-Loss, Baylor-Win, Kansas-Win, Tx Tech-Win, ISU-Win, TCU-Win, K-State-Push. I just don't see how they lose more than 4? There isn't a team on their schedule minus Oklahoma that is a team I would say is a lock for a loss. </p></p></p></p>
