Yes, boys and girls, it's almost that time...
The days become shorter...
The colors become more vivid...
The faint odor of a completely demoralized and dismantled rival wafts gently on a passing breeze...

It's football time! Hallelujah!!!

Any projections? Who's your team? Who's the sleeper this year? Will the Sooners still be feeling the aftermath of last year's collapse? What's your take?

As for me, I'm a cautiously optomistic Trojan. Let's face it, the Pac 10 is a joke with only one real challenger, Cal (my choice for "sleeper" even though they are highly ranked). Tedford has done a helluva job and for some reason, his schemes give our defense absolute fits! That team has scared the bejeezus out of me since he got there. Now before you proclaim me a front-runner, understand I was a fan even as my guys essentially stunk-up the joint throughout the '90's. I waited a loooooong time for another championship.

Other teams? Florida could be better than people think, Notre Dame will have a new coach at season's end, and Miami will be, well, Miami.
