Organized Chaos

Football season is creeping ever closer, with the NCAA starting this weekend and the NFL the next. High school football also starts next Friday.

I’ll start off a glance at the NFL and NCAA Football in general. I’ll have my Florida State and ACC predicitions within the next two weeks. Make sure to look out for them.

Here we go…………….

… Gators fans, your team will not win a national championship. However, they will be in the hunt for most of the season, given their all-world quarterback who goes by a name in my circle of friends that can’t be put here. The defense will be the downfall.

… There’s much talk about how the Southeastern Conference is so difficult, yet it has produced the past two national champions. This year is no different, as Georgia wins it all.

… And who will the Bulldogs play for said title? Ohio State is a logical choice. But it will be Oklahoma.

… Clemson will finish in the Top 5.

… Bobby Bowden will be out the door if FSU wins less than 8 games.

… Joe Paterno will be just like Bowden, with one-year deals the norm. However, unlike Bowden he’ll leave the school on “his terms” rather than stepping away for the good of the program.

…  West Virginia will be a better team without Rich Rodriguez at the helm.

… Illinois won’t be as good as it was, but Ron Zook still found a place where he can stay a while if he wants.

… Don’t be surprised if C.J. Spiller (Clemson) and Noel Devine (West Virginia) are in the Heisman talk all season.

… My alma mater, Colorado State, still stinks.

… Brett Favre will throw for more touchdown passes than Aaron Rodgers.

… Aaron Rodgers will throw fewer interceptions than Brett Favre.

… The New York Jets will win nine games with Brett Favre.

… The New York Giants will not return to the Super Bowl. Nor will New England. The Super Bowl will feature the Dallas Cowboys against the Indianapolis Colts. The Cowboys will win.

… Adrian Peterson will play 16 games this season. Tom Brady will not.

… Surprise team in the AFC: The Oakland Raiders (as much as it pains me to say it).

… Surprise team in the NFC: The St. Louis Rams.

… NFL teams that won’t be nearly as good in 2008 as they were in 2007: The Tennessee Titans and Green Bay (though the Pack will be decent, just not 13-3).

… The Denver Broncos will compete for third in the AFC West. And they may not win that battle.
