oregon and bama are nearly identical in how they ended the year and loss of QB etc...bama starts #3, Oregon #7. why? had vernon adams chosen bama we'd be talking about how he's the next "cam newton" and bama would be #2 right behind OSU.

another one...GT killed it last year. beat UGA to end the regular season, almost knocked off FSU in ACC CG and then pounded Miss St in bowl game. they get their QB back...they are ranked #16...SIX spots lower than a team they just beat 2 games ago in UGA...who, by the way, is starting a QB that couldn't hack it for one of the worst ACC programs.

i could go on but i'll stop here.
