Some notable changes from the AP Top 25.

1. I put UCLA higher. I think they're going to have a lot stronger team this year
2. ASU is higher, same as above, I think they're being over-looked right now and will end up winning the South.
3. BYU is on the list and pretty far up. They're going to have a tremendous year. They're my BCS busting pick. They return so much talent on both sides and have a new(much needed) Offensive Coordinator.
4. Georgia is higher. They could win it all. They have the best offense in the country and if their defense holds up, could go all the way.
5. Ohio State is way lower. I think they're very overrated. The Big 10 overall is a very poor conference right now.
6. Wisconsin and Northwestern are not on the list. The Big 10 is just not going to be great. Northwestern will be pretty good, but not great. Wisconsin is under a new coach and that should force them back a step. I do like Penn State, though, who under Bill O'Brien will surprise a lot of people again I'm sure.
7. Florida State is lower. Last year they were above mediocre and that was with an NFL quality QB.
8. TCU is higher. I think this could be the big break out for TCU to show they deserve their spot. They obviously have the best defense in the Big 12 and now they have some solid offensive talent returning, they could win that conference.
9. Texas A&M is lower. I think even if Johnny Football plays they'll take a step back. Off the field problems usually have a way of finding their way onto the field. They'll win a bunch of games, but then lose quite a few.
