Preseason top 10
1. SOUTHERN CAL
2006: 11-2
Circle it: Sept. 15 at Nebraska
The skinny: The Trojans are loaded on offense and return 10 starters on de fense. Road games at Nebraska, Notre Dame and California will be tough.
2. LOUISIANA STATE
2006: 11-2
Circle it: Oct. 6 vs. Florida
The skinny: JaMarcus Russell is gone, but don't fret. The Tigers have all kinds of talent on both sides of the ball especially defense and a favorable schedule.
3. MICHIGAN
2006: 11-2
Circle it: Nov. 17 vs. Ohio State
The skinny: Chad Henne and Mike Hart are back for one more season. This might be the Wolverines best chance to beat Ohio State and make a run at the national title.
4. WEST VIRGINIA
2006: 11-2
Circle it: Nov. 8 vs. Louisville
The skinny: QB Pat White and RB Steve Slaton give Mountaineers arguably the best 1-2 punch in college football.
5. TEXAS
