Why are you so sure Utah would get smashed?  Utah has the second best offense and their defense isn't far behind.  I hate when people claim that a mid-major school will get romped on because they're mid-major for no reason.  The fact is, if Auburn wants to be a co-national champ, then Utah has to be one as well.  There's no way around it.

I'm not one of those people who think mid-majors are simply a waste of time. I live in Fresno so I've seen first-hand the type of talent that does come through the WAC and Mountain West. I've supported Boise State all year because I saw them dismantle a very good Fresno State team (which has beat some quality major conference teams over the past few years). I still think Boise State is better than the showing they had against Louisville, they played horribly for the first 1 1/2 quarters and still only lost by a handful.

But, I still contend that USC would destroy Utah both mentally and physically. Pitt's defense is nowhere close to SC's and look what SC did to an almost Heisman repeat player and the freshman player of the year. And I think Auburn has much, much better linebackers and DBs than Utah. It takes alot more than just the final record of a team to say they would do this or do that. Really, Utah needed to play Auburn, USC, or OU so college football fans could see for themselves whether they belong on the same field or not. 3 undefeated teams is a joke.

the +1 would make it a little better. and it's the only thing that the university presidents might consisder. think about it, the last time there were 3 undefeated teams was like 30 something years ago. it really doesn't happen that often. with the +1, if you could match up 4 undefeateds, and then have the 2 winners play. that would cover 99% of the scenarios.

oklahoma shouldn't be a top 5 team next year. they lose everybody but peterson.

next years top ten:

1. usc

2. michigan

3. texas

4. ohio state (whoever wins between texas/osu early next year has a good shot at going to the rose bowl)

5. louisville

6. iowa

7. utah

8. lsu

9. tennessee

10. vatech

oklahoma and auburn lose nearly every starter. auburn loses campbell, caddy, brown, and rogers. thats their entire team right there. they'll be lucky to finish top 25 next year...

haha, please. peterson wasn't enough to even scare USC. the only reason peterson was as good as he was was because of his o-line and the fact that he had a heisman qb with some good receivers to spread the field. I will guarantee you right now peterson will be lucky to get half the stats he had this year. he's losing pretty much his entire line, top receivers, and his qb.

it's not that far fetched, and i'm not the only one saying it ;). we return something like 14 starters, and our receiving corps is probably the deepest in the nation, so replacing edwards is not a problem. the only thing that worries me is our D, but carr promised to make changes in the offseason. but you really could but ohio st., texas, and mich anywhere in the top 5.

I'm not saying Michigan isn't a top preseason pick, but #2?  That is too far up.  I would rank them around 5th place.

do you think OU and auburn will be top 10?

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By dirtyvu · Posted

      I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
