Pre-Preseaon 2011 NCAA Football Top 25

It is much, much too early to predict anything that is going to happen in the 2011 NCAA Football season. A lot is going to change from now until September. And even more is going to change from now until next season culminates with the BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans. But it's always fun to pretend like you can see into the future. Here is my pre-preseason Top 25 for the 2011 NCAA Football season.

1. Oklahoma - The Sooners are loaded with talent with Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles.
2. LSU - The Mad Hatter returns eyeing another National Title in front of the home crowd.
3. Oregon - LaMichael James looks to take home the Heisman in 2011.
4. Stanford - Andrew Luck returns to school as the 2011 Heisman front-runner.
5. Alabama - Nick Saban doesn't rebuild, he reloads.
6. Nebraska - The Huskers could win the Big Ten in their first season.
7. Florida St. - Jimbo Fisher's D will have NFL-talent all over the field.
8. Ohio St. - The Buckeyes would be higher if not for the suspension of 5 key players.
9. Auburn - It will be hard to repeat without Cam Newton and Nick Fairley
10. South Carolina - This should be Spurrier's best shot at an SEC title with the Cocks.
11. Oklahoma St. - Justin Blackmon returns to a loaded offense.
12. Boise St. - Kellen Moore transitions the Broncos to the Mountain West.

18. Michigan St. - Much returns from a team that surprised all with 11 wins in 2010.
19. Notre Dame - Brian Kelly takes 1 more step towards national relevance.
20. Central Florida - The Black Knights will go where QB Jefferey Godfrey takes them.
