Florida #1
USF #20
Miami #50
FAU #70
UCF #79
FIU #119
I can't remember where FSU stood. Probably between USF and Miami… not in the Top 25 though.
They have us beating UAB.
They list Rusty both in their Top 25 quarterbacks (#12) and in their overall Top 100 players (I think he was in the top 50 there). Cortez Gent was on their list of top WR, Jason Harmon was on the list of top TE and Warley Leroy was on their list of top Kickers.
All in all, not a bad way to start off the season.

All in all, athlon is what it is, just a bunch of publicity for the major conferences and very little for the mid-majors…..
Glad to see Rusty represented well there…..he deserves everything he gets…..

Leroy on the list of top kickers? I hope they know something we don't. We need a big year out of this kid.

The 2008 prediction is 9-2 (two losses from Michigan State and Texas) with one swing game (Minnesota). 9-3 wouldn't be a bad record at all, obviously.
It talks up Rusty Smith, Tavious Polo, Cortez Gent… mentions our weakness at defense and our questions marks at safety this year. Otherwise a really glowing review.
As an aside, it projects FIU losing all games except for swing games at ULL, ULM and WKU. I believe the projection for ULL is similar. There's some talk that the contest for the title won't be against Troy but against ULM… some people think that ULM may be the sleeper of the Belt next year and rise up like FAU did this year.

Hopefully the predictions could realy happen and I think they could. We just need to continue using this as motivation because we will have all the tools and weapons to repeat as Champs. We are finally getting some regonition on Mags which is great, and if we can beat Texas or Michigan has remarkable would that be. Go OWLS

If there is one team i think we will crush next year, this is the team…we have ALOT of motivation to do it…even though it is at thier place this year…
And i sure hope we do! ;D
