Next Season's NC favorites??

Who will emerge as next year's favorites for the national title? On a whim, let's go with Ohio State and Florida. Have you seen Buckeyes stars Troy Smith and Ted Ginn? Better yet, why didn't OSU coach Jim Tressel see them a little sooner -- say, after the first loss of the season? Or the second? Or the third? And Florida, well, let's just say the Gators had better be playing at least for the SEC championship -- not that such an engagement helped much for those with national championship aspirations this season (see: Auburn) -- or Superboy Urban Meyer can take that funky little offense and giddyup back to Utah.

those two are the first two that came to my mind while clicking on the link. throw in the usual suspects of usc, oklahoma, and miami and you probably have at least one if not both title game teams there.

Florida might be a contender, but SCum-West is going to be loaded. Even if Leinart leaves, Booty and Sanchez will pick up the slack. If Bomar's ready at Oklahoma, they could also be back. Their WR's could actually be better and they have Peterson the battering ram.
As for our Buckeyes, let's hope Tressel unleashes the hounds starting week 1, and takes Mack Brown and his campaigners behind the woodshed (Oklahoma-style) in week 2. Then we may be onto bigger and better things...

I don't see how the discussion can go past USC. They return 2 of the top 4 heisman candidates from this season, along with just about everyone else of importance.

Texas (if they beat OU)

why is everybody including Miami? they have a terrible coach. they still have talent but it is not being developed at all. their defense has been lousy at tackling, and they continue to remain weak on the offensive line. they have a highly touted QB, but we all know how little that means (especially since i doubt he can develop into a good QB under coker). Miami might be a "usual suspect" but as long as Coker is there i wouldn't worry about them at all.
