A lot of you guys don't follow me on twitter (@K_Mart10), but I did a preseason top 10 countdown leading up to the first Saturday of the college football season. I've finally gotten around to consolidating the complete list into this blog for your viewing pleasure.
No. 1 Clemson: the defending Champs have the chance to be the best offense ever & score 100 TD’s. Lawrence, Etienne, Higgins, Ross...the list goes on & on. OL returns 4 starters as well. DL will reload, not rebuild, & secondary should be really good. Big worry is LB play. Lots of unknowns there. If you haven’t seen Isaiah Simmons play, you need to. Will be a top-15 pick. Want to say they won’t go undefeated because it’s so damn hard to do it, but don’t see a lot of places they could slip up. Tigers might go back 2 back. #RunItBack #No1Clemson
No. 2 Alabama: Tua & Jeudy make up one of the best QB-WR combos in the nation. The recent injuries on defense scare me, but Saban will figure it out for the Crimson Tide. #No2Alabama
No. 3 Georgia: I think this is the season that QB Jake Fromm takes a huge step forward. RB Swift is one of the best in the country, but the WR corps worries me. Defense is DEEP & will be nasty. Think the Bulldogs win the East, but can they beat Alabama? #No3Georgia
No. 4 Oregon: I’m really high on this team. The QB Justin Herbert is a top-10 pick & a stud. The two-headed monster at RB of Verdell & Dye gives them balance. Cristobal has the Ducks heading in the right direction. #No4Oregon
No. 5 Oklahoma: Gonna he honest, I don’t know what to think about Jalen Hurts as the QB. However, I have no doubt that Lincoln Riley will figure out how to put up points. Would not be surprised if Fr Spencer Rattler gets a shot to run to the show at some point. #No5Oklahoma
No. 6 Texas: Ehlinger is a Heisman Darkhorse & he has some really good WRs to throw too. The defense scares be, and we’ll find out a lot Week 2 vs. LSU. I still think the Longhorns might be a year away from a serious CFP run. #No6Texas
No. 7 Ohio State: Ryan Day is good, & so is Justin Fields. J.K. Dobbins is a stud, & Chase Young leads a strong defense. I believe the Buckeyes win the Big Ten. #No7OhioState
No. 8 Notre Dame: QB Ian Book is back to lead Brian Kelly’s offense & should be better in year 2 at the helm. They’ve got 2 really good DEs in Okwara & Kareem, & Gilman at Safety is a beast. Fighting Irish could make another playoff run if things fall right. #No8NotreDame
No. 9 Texas A&M: I really, really like QB Kellen Mond. The offense should be lethal behind him & a breakout year from the young RB Corbin. This team has big time potential in Jimbo Fisher’s 2nd year, but the schedule is brutal for Aggies. #No9aTm
No. 10 Michigan: Harbaugh has an experienced QB with Patterson, & the defense will be sneaky good. Is this the season he can beat Ohio State? I don’t think so, but the Wolverines are still in for a good season. #No10Michigan

Cyborgs, Student Sections, Easy Money, Madden References, & Mettenberger looking legit?
3 weeks into the college football season and oh baby, it's been an exciting season already. Here are some of my thoughts so far and a few things I'm looking at for this weekend.
Team to watch out for:
The LSU Tigers. This defense is tough and Zach Mettenberger has actually looked legit. 9 TD's through 3 gams and 0 picks. We'll see exactly how good they are next week against Georgia between the hedges.
Best defenses in the country:
Stanford is the best and Florida is second. The Gators' Dominique Easley is a cyborg. The guy has been absolutely unblockable.
The Game of the Century:
I'm talking about Bama-A&M, of course. By the way, hasn't there already been like 18 games of the century in like the past 10 years? It's getting a little ridiculous. Anyway, how about Johnny Football? He put up over 560 YARDS of total offense and threw for 5 TD's in that 49-42 shootout that Bama won. I tried to tell you guys in my preseason top 10, the Crimson Tide is not near as good as they had been, especially on the offensive line & the defense as a whole. I said you could spread them out and that they were not built to stop as hurry-up, spread offense, and the Aggies thoroughly showed that. Mike Evans still hasn't been covered, 7 catches for 279, sheesh, and on that 95-yarder, he just said "GET OFF ME LIL' BOY!" The problem for Texas A&M in that game was a simple one, their defense sucks. McCarron threw for 4 TDs and over 300 while Yeldon ran for 149 and a TD.
Vandy vs. South Cak:
Clowney will be fine. He'll have his big game sometime soon that make his stats look amazing again. Don't worry about him. From what I've seen so far, the Gamecocks are missing Devin Taylor a lot more than people thought they would. He did a great job last year as a defensive end who didn't worry just about sacks and was a good team defender and did a good job of eating up blockers while JD went for the quarterback. This year Chaz Sutton starts in this position, but he's a guy who likes to rush upfield and go for sacks as well, and the combination of him and Clowney has just not worked as well so far. Connor Shaw and the offense looked unstoppable in the first half, as he was making some incredible throws (the TD to Bruce Ellington between two defenders was magnificent). I know the Commodores' defense isn't the greatest, but the offensive showing was still impressive. Now the second half, I have no idea what happened. Vandy went to the Wildcat some and they were ripping off 5 yards a play, I couldn't understand it. But anyway, the Cocks held on to win and climb back to .500 in SEC(or should I say SoftEC lololol) play. I actually went to this game since Clemson had a bye week and had pretty legit seats (check the picture below). Funny thing, I actually stayed longer than most of the South Carolina students. Where the heck were you guys? Y'all filed out at halftime like the game was over. Sorry, I thought there were only 7 home games a year and that you should stay for the majority of the game, especially when it's a conference game. But hey, what do I know? I like to tailgate as well, I just wait until after the game to head back out there.
Tigers and Wolfpack:
Thursday night. ESPN. On the road. Carter-Finley Stadium. No. 3 in the country. Does this game scare me as a Clemson fan? Hell no! In the past it might have, but nah, not anymore. This is a new Clemson with a new attitude and we actually have some swagger now. The team expects to win, and they expect to win big. The Tigers have vastly superior talent than N.C. State, and this game will not even be close. Their QB Thomas is garbage, he doesn't fit the offense that they are trying to run at all. Their defensive line is solid, but that's the only bright spot on their team right now. First year head coach Dave Doeren may run some trick plays early to keep it close, but Clemson should and will pull away. Tajh goes off, Sammy, TD-Tay, and G-Hop have big games in the first game since Charone Peake's ACL injury. Defense plays tough and the d-line goes off. Our defense is ahead of Vegas right now, meaning I don't think they realize how good they are. If you're a bettor, take Clemson -13.5, -14, whatever it is right now. EASY MONEY.
CLEMSON 48 N.C. STATE 20
Other lines I like:
Georgia Tech -7 vs. UNC
USC -7 vs. Utah St
Tennessee +16.5 at Florida
Well, I guess that's all. Be sure to follow me on twitter for more sports and life thoughts @K_Mart10.
