Really not a big difference here in the pre-season rankings .
4. Florida 2006 Record: 13-1
Urban Meyer is doing a phenomenal job recruiting, and he won't hesitate to put young players in key spots, but the loss of way too many defensive stars, and the graduation of Chris Leak, will be too costly to repeat as national champions. That's not to say the team won't make another big run it Tim Tebow is strong in a full-time role.
5. Wisconsin 2006 Record: 12-1
2006 Wisconsin was a very good team with a walk-in-the-park schedule. 2007 Wisconsin will be an elite team with a more challenging slate. The safeties need to be replaced, as do LB Mark Zalewski and OT Joe Thomas, but just about everyone else returns. Tyler Donovan and former Kansas State Wildcat Allan Evridge will replace QB John Stocco without a problem.
6. Ohio State 2006 Record: 12-1
If the Buckeyes could replace all the top defensive stars after 2005 and end up in the national title game, then they should be able to overcome the loss of a ton of offensive talent and get back, right? That's a bit of a stretch, but there's still a ton of NFL talent returning on both sides of the ball with ten underclassmen starting last year. It'll all be about the running game until Todd Boeckman or Rob Schoenhoft get their feet wet.
7. Oklahoma 2006 Record: 11-3
The Sooners proved at the end of 2006 that they can survive and thrive without Adrian Peterson (although he hasn't officially made his NFL decision yet), but the offense needs Joey Halzle, or some other quarterback, to be more than just steady. The secondary should be among the best in the country, but losing linebackers Rufus Alexander and Zach Latimer hurts. You don't get better by losing ends Larry Birdine, C.J. Ah You and Calvin Thibodeaux.
8. Arkansas 2006 Record: 10-4
As long as the offensive line can replace tackles Tony Ugoh and Zac Tubbs and guard Jeremy Harrell, the Hogs should pick up where they left off late in the year thanks to the 1-2 punch of Darren McFadden and Felix Jones. While the defense should be fine, losing heart-and-soul LB Sam Olajubutu and top ten-caliber draft
"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.
nor will they ever be.. Mcfadden had 3 games under 100 yards..
43 VS Auburn 61 VS FIU (FIU?? Come on)
88 VS Miss.State
Auburn was the only game were he was pretty much shut down, but Auburn's Defense is tough.
Man, FIU was a 58-10 blowout! Arkansas had a short field all day with 7 TO's by FIU. He also had 3 rec's for 22yds. In the MIss st. game your obviously just looking at rushing stats. Yes D-Mac rushed for 88yds on 28 carriers, but he also took a 57 yard screen-pass to the house, and threw a 24 YARD TD PASS! You need to look alot closer at the stats my friend!

Exactly! Not to mention he scored 4 td's on the short field vs FIU
Teebow didn't necessarily choke in all those games either. He was actually pretty good in the Auburn game going 20-27, 201 yards, TD, INT, and 19 rushes for 75 yards and a TD. Very solid game. In the Georgia game he was clearly hurt and didn't even run the ball in the first half, so I can give him a pass on that one. At LSU was probably his "worst" game, but even then he accounted for 3 TDs, and that was at LSU at night.
read through my posts in this thread and the one i made up about heisman trophy opinions and see if i did not say he would win ONLY because tebow is a sophomore and then get back to me
Dude I saw your previous comments. Point is that is your only arguement. I provided stats to show you where you were a little off on your judgement of McFadden and you didnt comeback with anything on what I said.

Who is a proven winner and leader on their team and helps it win each and every week?? Also ask yourself these 2 questions and answer them honestly.. without mcfadden where you arkansas be? and Without Tebow where would Florida be?? Now tell me who is more important to their team? Get back at me when you have a legit answer..

so u think arkansas would be worse than they are without mcfadden? DMac could and would carry that team.. tebow was a freshman that had no clue about the plays when he came in and Leak was a senior that knew it. why put in a freshman that had no clue over a senior? good try buddy

What the fuck are you trying to say? Of course Ark would be worse off without McFadden. My point is Tebow is more of a product of a system than anything else.

Yes Felix Jones would fill in nicely without D-Mac, but would Arkansas have knocked off LSU or have the record they have? No. Id say Tebow and D-Mac are equal in importance to their teams.
