Has us listed as a team on the way up, and Florida as a team on the way down. Very interesting. In the list of unknowns that will we know by October he has Cal's QB Nate Longshore listed. Now unless i read it wrong, Longshore isnt even starting. Jeff Ayoob is. HMMMMMMMMM Has Cal's coach Tedford listed as his 2nd best Playcaller. Is Tedford that good??? Hat i expect you to lecture me on this one. This one really pisses me off. Best defensive minds, John Chavis is nowhere to be seen. I know i am biased but come on, Chief is at least in the top 5 in the nation. And lastly, and this pisses me off too, He has a top 10 of gameday locations and Tennessee is knowwhere to be found. BS. He is obviously a homer b/c he chose Ohio St. as number 1. Anyway take a look for yourselves and weigh in on this list. I think Herbstreit is one the best "experts" espn has.

agree with you about the WR's...
There are a lot, A LOT of good DT's out there this year...no suprise there for me.
UF's schedule...brutal. @ TN, @ AUB, @ FSU, and home games against LSU, Bama and then the cocktail party. that's the only reason he has them as a down team.
Same reason he has us going up...all the toughies are at home, two real road games @ USC adn @ UGA. schedule is favorable.
agree about Chavis...probably not on there because of our overall performance last season...
they haven't been to TN in a couple of years now, so no suprise that TN is not on the list...
