NCAA Football Pre-Season Top 10

Here is how the AP has stacked out the Pre-season top 10:

1. Southern Cal (USC)
2. Louisiana State (LSU)
3. West Virginia (WVU)
4. Texas
5. Michigan
6. Florida
7. Wisconsin
8. Oklahoma
9. Virginia Tech
10. Louisville

Looking into these rankings, West Virginia seems a little high on the list to me. With 2 Heisman trophy candidates, Pat White & Steve Slayton, the is no doubt that the offense is spectacular. But how will their defense hold up? Their defense was ranked 62nd last year in total defense. I haven't seen too many upgrades on that side of the ball to show improvement from last year. The teams in the Big East have gotten stronger in the off-season, and we will see if USF pummels the Mountaineers again.

Virginia Tech's defense gets them into these discussions every year. With the #1 defense returning, let's hope their offense can keep them in the BCS hunt.

Brian Brohm is the reason for Louisville being in the top 10. As a leading Heisman hopeful, the team will feed off of his leadership this year. If he can stay healthy, the Cardinals should be a lock for a BCS bowl.
