Top 25 teams in NCAA Football 09

With Operation Sports having released a video which displays team rankings and ratings I feel comfortable in going forward with listing out the top 25 teams in NCAA Football 09 (I’ll continue to hold off on the toughest places to play and top player ratings). When it comes to the actual team ratings I wouldn’t put much stock into those. I began taking them down before realizing that the numbers were different each time I viewed the team.

While the top 25 may not be finalized (LSU will probably drop) this should at least offer an idea of how the best teams in the game will fall in place.

#1 Georgia
#2 Oklahoma
#3 Ohio State
#4 USC
#5 Florida
#6 LSU
#7 Missouri
#8 West Virginia
#9 Wisconsin
#10 Texas
#11 Clemson
#12 Texas Tech
#13 Penn State
#14 Arizona State
#15 Kansas
#16 Auburn
#17 Virginia Tech
#18 Illinois
#19 Tennessee
#20 BYU
#21 South Carolina
#22 Alabama
#23 Oregon
#24 Cincinnati
#25 Wake Forest

It’s pretty funny how some are you banging on the SEC and how they aren’t that elite. The SEC this year will probably be as good as it ever will be and very capable of having more than half the conference in the top 25 at one time. And for the genius that says UT or Auburn won’t be good or doesn’t belong in the top 25, go visit any sports site and look at their post-spring top 25 and they are in all of them.

Cal Bear Fan: Just Stop. Please stop. you are embarrassing yourself. Yeah you beat Tennessee last year, yeah it was no where no near the a$$ beating you took in Neyland the year before. Your team peaked in your first game and then you went 6-6. Tennessee wasn’t good early but improved throughout the year unlike your team. Yeah I’m sure you guys would have blownout what ended up being the #2 team in the country. You guys would’ve run through the SEC East I’m sure.

UofOregonDucks, I’d love to bet you on the Purdue-Oregon game, but unfortunately I dont bet with 12 year old kids. If you are going to start arguments that is cool, but have some fact and dont make excuses every time Oregon loses(see posts above).

I think the Illini deserve a # 18 spot..everybody is so caught up in whether JUICE can throw or not and i think that he will have his bad days and then have some really good days…but what most people dont realize is that they are going to have one of the top 5 defenses in the country!..and that is why teams like TENN and Arkansas are not above them and another thing..people keep saying that we have lost a star in Rashard Mendenhall..well that may be true..but there were like only ten seniors on the whole team last year..so top 5 defense with a very talented and rapidly maturing team…lol have fun playing us

It’s a sad day when my Wolverines aren’t in the top 10, I agree we don’t deserve right now but we will earn our place back into in college football’s elite program!

Wow, I’m surprised that more people are not complaining about the Bearcats being in the top 25. We lost our leader on offense, in QB Ben Mauck. We lost our leader on defense in FS Haruki Nakamura. Although I think by the end of the year the Bearcats will finish in the top 25, I don’t believe they should start there.

Auburn could be very good this year. I wouldn’t bet on them to lose to anybody til they meet Georgia. And that one to me is a tossup. In the end Auburn ought to be around 10-2 come conference championship. Alabama being in the top 25 is ridiculous. There is no reason to expect Alabama to be any good this year at all. Penn State at 13. WTF! They ought to be garbage this year.

Oh yes, baby! My Gamecocks is in the rankings. The reason why is not only they will get back to the bowl game this season, but if we play outstanding well in the SEC, look out. Because the ‘Cocks will be playing in Atlanta come December 6th for the Southeasten Conference championship game & hopefully, will be playing in their 1st Bowl Championship Series game in school history. Now, what do you have to say about that?

Oregon won’t be top 25 after Purdue shows them what a spread offense really looks like. C. Painter for heisman!

Duck-a-holic

I am a huge Oregon Duck fan, me and my dad have had season tickets for 8 years now so i know my ducks and i must say that Oregon is going to be a pretty good team this year nut most likely wont be PAC-10 champs or in the top 10, and ill agree on two things with the biolermaker fans, some of our jerseys are pretty hiddeous and that the game will be a good one, i can’t wait to watch it! and one comment about the new NCAA 09, why can’t middle of the road teams get any respect! especially for the best people on our teams, come on and do some research.

GO DUCKS!!!!
