Know how many B10 games Meyer has lost at OSU in three years? Zero. Yes, zero. He returns 14 starters including 2 all-Americans, 2 All-B10 players, both kickers, and a bunch of contributors (including the Natty winning QB).
Anybody not picking them to make the playoff is more likely to be a homer or hater than Herbstreit is.
ASU is not the pushover many on here are predicting. They're a very good team returning 16 starters from a 10-3 squad last season. I doubt they'll win the PAC, but it's not a crazy pick.
Somebody has to win the B12. According to this board, Baylor sucks, TCU sucks, Texas sucks... Putting your money on a guy with a .738 win pctg, a national championship, and 8 conference titles is definitely not idiotic.
As mentioned, the difference between 1st and 7th in the SEC West may be as close as it's ever been. The team has talent, experience, coaching, and a great homefield advantage. If they get half-decent QB play, they just might win the best division in CFB.
I don't agree with all his picks, but some of y'all are way off base.
