I forgot Conference USA (a very improved conference)

Nice Surprise: Cincinnati Mark it down - 9-2 and the Liberty Bowl!

Going Down: TCU. I will grant you they have a loaded backfield but the team's defense will be in decline in 2004.

Cincy should be good, 8th year senior Gino Guidugli is back for more SU wins and ATS losses.

Mr. NJ.

8th year Senior Guidugli is second only to 11th year Senior Tommy Chang in experience at his position.

For Miami I can not quite remember, but I think it was OG Carey/Dolphins traded up to get him.

GOOD LUCK!
Rex

Missouri has a cake schedule and can very easily win 8 games. Could be this year's version of Minnesota.

Didn't think he was a bad coach. Seemed to be pretty good coach at Toledo. Don't see many Mizzou games.

I'm kind of shocked by some of those predictions. Miami 7-4? They are loaded again with a great D line and some young great LB's. Their O comes back and Everett is supposed to be another great TE. So if Berlin is similiar to last year than Miami will be a 1-2 loss team. Clemson may surprise more teams here and V-tech will be flat out bad.

Big 12 Okie state has a very easy sch. They lost woods and Fields is playing baseball, but still have weapons and will run an option this year, plus with UCLA, Iowa State, SMU Tulsa and Baylor along with CU and A&M at home. This team easily can win 7 games.

KU seems to be a trendy pick here winning 6 games last year, but I think they will be take a step back. They have a legit schedule this year.
Ohio State lost a lot but a lot of returners played a ton and they have a ton on O that going to be great.

I think Mich ST. will be 500 at best. They lost everyone..I feel Minn. is the team to beat.

IN the SEC I think Ole Miss will be decent. Ya Manning left but the O-line and WR's are back so they should be solid and bama may improve too.

The Big east, ya WV has an easy go of it, but Rutgers & Uconn cash cows last year should be a nice surprise. Both should battle for a bowl bid behind WV and BC.

Pitt could be flat out bad this year..I can see them being sub 500
