Arky will be much better than a .500 team....

Okie lite lost some guns from their offense last year (Weeden, Blackmon, Cooper, et al), but they return some pretty good WR, RB, and linemen. 8-4 may be their destiny, but it wouldn't surprise me if they contend for the BigInteger conference title this year. Their question mark will be at QB -- how fast can Gundy get another gunslinger ready and proficient?
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
SEC
I think you are pretty close. I don't see Mizzou having that much success though, they have lost a lot of talent over the past couple of years and are on the verge of sinking, being in the SEC won't help them in this situation.
PAC
I just don't see CU only winning 4 games. I think we get at least 5 and more likely 6. They are getting better than they have been but I think Wash St is going to dissapoint their fans. I also don't buy Utah, they will not get close to what you have them for. I hate to agree on USC but can't argue against that one. I wouldn't be surprised though to see Oregon stumble to a loss or two more than you have them for. They still have a ton of talent but again have turned over a lot of players and have some serious distractions going on in the program.
Big XII
OU wins it. Texas will figure out how to lose a couple games they shouldn't, WVU is making a big step up and will stumble as well. I also see TCU having a hard time, this isn't a MWC or Big East schedule now. The drop for Okie Light seems about right. I wouldn't be surprised to see the old man Snyder sneak his team up into second place in the conference. It's hard to tell with them but he always seems to come up with some jucos who stand out.
Big 10
I think you are pretty close here. I do think that Wiscy may take that division, Meyer is a great coach but may stumble in his first year just enough to leave it open. On the other side Nebraska should win it but Pelini is a nutjob and likely will figure out how to lose one or two he shouldn't. Michigan is loaded but this may be the Spartan's year.
ACC
I think you are right on the top teams. I think Maryland is still a very bad football team and will end up closer to the bottom. Also GT has lost a lot of talent but they will still beat a couple more teams than you give them because of their unorthodox style.
Big East
Who knows, who cares (other than their own fans) have no clue.
MWC
Boise a lock to win it in their (maybe) last season in the conference
I think Nevada and Hawaii do better than your predictions, CSU has no hope of winning 6 games. They were a bad team to start with and have lost much of the talent they had left.
Wyoming has some skill players but are very thin in the trenches, they have to stay healthy to have a shot. SDSU is a school that we are used to seeing not meet expectations. This year they may exceed them. AFA always loses a bunch of guys and always comes up with players to replace them, Calhoun is a master at running that program, second or third is a good bet for them this year.

The league office would declare Texas the winner due to their sheer awesomness after which Texas would let them have their paychecks again.
Actually I'm sure they have a tie breaker already in the rules someplace. I seem to remember in the last couple of years when they had the posibility of a tie that they said the BCS bowl bid would be determined by the BCS rankings but I could be wrong.
Oh and I asked my Oregon cousin if he wanted to meet up in Vegas for the Pac-12 bball tourney. He said he might not be able to go because he is saving his money for the BCS title game. Man I hope the Ducks fail!
Ohio State 11-1?
Arkansas 6-6?
Washington (who completely murdered your terrible team last year) 5-7?
Terrible predictions.
**** UW.
And don't put too much stock into beating us last year, not tough when Jason Espinoza and DD Goodson anchor your secondary.

Not sure I really buy this argument. We would still likely have been murdered if Jimmy Smith and Jalil Brown were still playing
I think your MWC predictions look pretty good. However, I do think Boise State gets snake bit and loses one conference game this season.
ohhhhh is someone upset that their team wont be the best team in the state of Washington next year?
Hey pal, did you enjoy your 0-12 season a couple years ago? At least CU hasn't gotten that bad!
I agree I don't think CSU wins 6 games this season, but I do think CSU will have the best running game in the league this year and will start a QB who moves the pocket well. Could be enough to stay competetive in a lot of games this season, which is not something you could say over the last three years.
I can't wait to get UW in folsom this year. I am hoping for a little payback. By that time our freshman are not freshman anymore, we should be playing some good football this late in the season. Plus I think Embo can find some extra motivation for beating the puppies.
Did he really get banned for this? I looked for the Island finish to the banning but saw nothing.
