2008 Pre-Rankings out already...

I edited out the Non Subelt Teams that were listed.
Scout.com: 2008 Pre-Preseason Rankings - Top 25 - This has the link so you can read individual snippetts.
Found this info this morning.

Top 25
No. 26 to 50
No. 51 to 75
No. 76 to 100
No 101 to 119
81. Florida Atlantic 2007 Record: 8-5
Led by QB Rusty Smith, the defending Sun Belt champions should have one of the league's best attacks. Ten starters return on offense, while the defense should be fantastic up front with six of the front seven back. The secondary might be a little bit of an issue losing safeties Kris Bartels and
Other colleges of interest:
81. Florida Atlantic

I hate to see the majority of the SBC schools falling below 100. However, few teams have proven worthy of anything much higher than that. Those few being FAU, Troy, and MTSU.
GO OWLS!!!
Well UNT I think is doing well on the recruiting end so far who knows what they can do next season. They may start out below 100 but if they start out strong they can maybe move up, same with FIU. They won't be down there for long.
Where was UCF ranked in all of this?
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

The full sentence is
"The secondary might be a little bit of an issue losing safeties Kris Bartels and Taheem Aceveda but Tavious Polo and Corey Small form the league's best corner pair."
Now, just to put things in perspective, the #1 team in 2008 according to this article is
Ohio State.
So yeah… that pretty much dismantles the credibility of the rest of the article.
Interesting notes on UCF and Texas, however
68. UCF 2007 Record: 10-4
Kevin Smith expectedly, and wisely, jumped to the NFL early taking away the entire offense with him.
and
15. Texas 2007 Record: 10-3
Was the Holiday Bowl the spark for a big 2008? QB Colt McCoy leads a strong offense that should be fine even with RB Jamaal Charles and TE Jermichael Finley bolting early. The O line was a big problem, but for good or bad, all the starters return. Defense is a big issue losing tackles Frank Okam and Derek Lokey along with five starters in the back seven. New coordinator Will Muschamp should change things in a big hurry

We have such a good shot against Texas with a new running back starting for them, they'll be throwing the ball and that's were we play our best. Plus their defense is going to be all new starters so we should be able to put up some points.
