College Football Quick Primer

With college football ready to fire this week, thought I’d share how I see upcoming season playing out. Actually before I start, I’d like to inform everyone I was going to start a paid newsletter for college and pro football, unfortunately everything didn’t come together for a variety of reasons. This should be good news to all of you who visit this blog, since many of the elements I was going to talk about will instead be written about right here at 3Daily Winners.

For example, I have special information I’ve gathered for years and written about from time to time on other websites, this information will now be seen and talked about here.

I’ll share my game insights, from watching everything all weekend and discuss what I see or hear. I’ll provide key numbers about players and teams and tell the truth, not sugar coat what I see or find.

I’ll have various types of other information, that honestly I haven’t seen thought about yet, just will react to the marketplace. My goal is to make this a fun and entertaining place to stop everyday for people that want quality football information. Enough talking let’s get started.

Over the last six weeks, I’ve studied the returning players and losses from the various college football teams. Looked at the schedules inside-out and taken into consideration many other factors too numerous to mention.

Here is my Top 25.

1) Ohio State 2) Oklahoma 3) Florida 4) Georgia 5) USC

6) Missouri 7) Clemson 8) LSU 9) Texas Tech 10) Auburn

11) Wisconsin 12) West Virginia 13) So. Florida 14) Virg. Tech 15) Texas

16) Tennessee 17) Oregon 18) Penn State 19) Kansas 20) Wake Forest

21) Flor. State 22) Ariz. State 23) Alabama 24) Illinois 25) Iowa

Do I think this is the exact order of the best 25 teams in the country, No. Based on factors like scheduling and motivational situations, along with certain coaches in need of big years, this is what I see today.

Next is list of conference champions. By now you either have or should have picked up preseason magazine. I’m not going to compete with those, thus I’ll keep it brief.

ACC – Clemson

Finally Clemson meets expectations in what is a pretty mediocre league.

Big 12- Oklahoma

Second best conference this season, thanks to 11 returning quarterbacks. Highly competitive year, with underdogs covering more often than expected with so many good signal callers.

SEC- Florida
Georgia has better talent, however better schedule for Gators and more balance than last year.

Big Ten- Ohio State

Everyone is playing for second place.

Pac-10 – USC

Down year for this league, even USC isn’t USC to start the season.

Mountain West- TCU

Offense comes back for the Horned Frogs, with always steady defense in place.

WAC- Fresno State
My least secure pick, as Bulldogs are too often preoccupied with non-conference games, instead of focusing on winning league. Did you know Fresno State turned down 10,000 Benjamin Franklin’s to play Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, to keep home game with Badgers?

MAC- Central Michigan
They go for third straight title, but watch out for Ball State.

C-USA - Tulsa
They battle East Carolina for conference title.

Sun Belt – Florida Atlantic
In my study of outstanding players within conferences, FAU has the most players back within any league in the country.


Tomorrow, surprise and disappointing teams. Please share your thoughts in comment sections.
