Most have Texas winning Big XII & several have us in the Rose Bowl.

Puts the Horns at #2 and mocks the Aggies. Well done.

10 games that led to the proliferation of the wide-open offenses in today’s game.

Stewart Mandel says he doesn’t have much faith in the Horns.

Texas at #1 and #3.

Sounds like she could definitely get more $20K.

In my opinion, USC and Texas are the obvious #1 and #2, but the teams in the rest of the Top 10 almost seem interchangeable. It seems like so many teams have a new look this year, and I think I will need to see them in action in order to evaluate them better.

So here it is, my Top 25 preseason poll. Feel free to make some comments, as I am always open to learning more about a team (except for OU)…

1. SOUTHERN CAL
2. TEXAS
3. MIAMI
4. MICHIGAN
5. VIRGINIA TECH
6. TENNESSEE
7. OHIO ST
8. LSU
9. OKLAHOMA
10. FLORIDA
11. FLORIDA ST
12. IOWA
13. GEORGIA
14. AUBURN
15. LOUISVILLE
16. TEXAS A&M
17. TEXAS TECH
18. PURDUE
19. CALIFORNIA
20. BOSTON COLLEGE
21. VIRGINIA
22. ARIZONA ST
23. BOISE ST
24. ALABAMA
25. PITTSBURGH

With both Bush and Leinart at USC, hopefully they will cancel each other out.

Texas has picked up it’s 24^th committment of the year in Colorado defensive end/linebacker Lamarr Houston. Houston is a versatile four-star prospect who was recruited to play strongside defensive ends by the Longhorns. He is a nationally sought after athlete and the number two overall player this season in the state of Colorado.

Another big pick up for the Horns and another formidable defensive commitment.

Herbstreit dishes out lots of Longhorn love, but he’s had too much Aggie kool-aid too.
