A few predictions from Kirk Herbstreit, "College GameDay” commentator and analyst on ABC’s Saturday night college football games:
How would you handicap the Heisman Trophy race among the top three quarterbacks? 1. Colt McCoy because of the players he has returning and because he has not been able to win it yet. 2. Sam Bradford is breaking in four new offensive linemen and his top two receivers. 3. Tim Tebow is at No. 3 only because we have set such high expectations for him. Even last year in a year he won the national title, people were comparing him to what he did the year before when he won the Heisman, when he put up ridiculous numbers on a team that had two or three losses. Will Florida repeat as national champions? I think they will be challenged more than people expect. I think they will win the SEC. I think they will beat Alabama in Atlanta and I think they will end up playing Texas in the national title (game). Do you agree with fellow ESPN analyst Andre Ware that the Sooners will lose four games? I can’t imagine them losing four games. The Sooners return enough around (Sam) Bradford offensively even though they have some concerns on the offensive line and at receiver. Their defense will be one of the best in the country. They have some tough games, but I can’t imagine them losing more than a game or two tops.
