SN has the top-to-near-bottom list of FBS teams posted, and is counting up toward No. 1 (Alabama) with analyses about the teams. The list of teams with links to SN's remarks is here: http://www.sportingnews.com/college-football/article/2010-05-26/college-football-on-clock-sns-preseason-top-100

To go directly to the article about OUr prospects, click here: http://www.sportingnews.com/college-football/article/2010-06-26/college-football-countdown-no-69-ohio (Interestingly, SN sees the 'Cats going 6-6 -- which would mark a repeat of team's follow-up to the 9-5 record in 2006; also of note: the "grades" accorded to the various positions)

SN is a dick and must be destroyed by  the provisioning of a spectacular season.

I had 3 minutes free in a bookstore the other day and looked at Athlon's preview. It has OU going 9-3 (6-2), finishing second in the MAC East behind Temple. That's not too bad -- would probably get a bowl bid -- but obviously we're all hoping for even bigger things this year!

Lovebobcat, Athlon also has us with a prognosticated ranking of No. 90.  I'm posting their 120 as a new topic on the football board.
