Here's my preseason rankings I submitted as a voter in TheGreek's TBDPITL. I'm hitching my wagon to Missouri this year. People knock Gary Pinkel and maybe rightfully so but he's not the leader on the field. Chase Daniel is that guy and I think this kid has the stuff champions are made of. The Tigers schedule sets up fairly well too. The opener against Illinois will be a test but one they pass with flying colors in my opinion. The next real test should be at Texas and Missouri can lose this game and still get into the Big XII title game. There they would most likely face Texas in a rematch or Oklahoma. A win there and they're in. Anyways, here we go......
1. 
A showdown in the desert looms if Spurrier doesn't bite them first.
2. 
Daniel & Co. have a chance to put the Tigers on the map right out of the gate against the Illini in St. Louis.
3. 
Can Bradford avoid the sophomore slump?
4. 
Joe McKnight needs to be all he can be to keep the pressure off of Sanchez.
5. 
Will the Gators defense hold up through the SEC mine field?
6. 
They're loaded, but an early season trip to the left coast should tell us all we need to know.
7. 
The Horns have some time to tune up before the Red River Shootout.
8. 
Everything points towards the BCS for the Tigers. Now they just have to avoid that pesky late season collapse.
9. 
Will the loss of Perriloux prove to be too much to overcome?
10. 
Dennis Erickson is a winner wherever he goes. Is this the year he gets past California Pete?
11. 
Tate and Lester conjure up recent memories of Brown and Williams.
12. 
Despite the departure of Rodriguez and Slaton, things look Devine in Morgantown.
13. 
Defensive Coordinators have nightmares about other wordly wideout Michael Crabtree.
14. 
Reesing is back but Talib leaves a big hole on the edge of the Jayhawks defense.
15. 
P.J. Hill has Heisman potential for a typical Badger team.
16. 
How much can Zook squeeze out of the Juice?
17. 
This year's most likely BCS buster.
18. 
Can Fulmer live up to his contract extension and get back to the BCS? Not likely in the loaded SEC.
19. 
Taylor or Glennon? Glennon or Taylor? When was the last time you saw a two-headed national champion?
20. 
Introducing 2010 Heisman Trophy winner LeSean McCoy.
21. 
Everyone but the QB back from a 9-4 squad. Was he that good anyways?
22. 
The mohawk is gone but Grothe and his legs are back.
23. 
Jimbo and Drew start to assert themselves and the Noles begin their climb back to elite status.
24. 
In Week 3 the Dawgs come calling but Spurrier has some business to take care of first.
25. 
New coach, new system. New everything on offense. The ride may be bumpy but it will end up with a bowl game.
26. 
How does Jim Grobe do it at a school with an enrollment 6,700?
27. 
Beating Georgia Tech in last year's bowl game was one thing. But Pat Hill has been down this road before.
28. 
Dixon and Stewart are gone. With them went the majority of the Ducks offense.
29. 
The Saban rebuilding process continues in a very competitive SEC.
30. - 
The conference co-champs have a lot of talent back and the Mountaineers and Panthers both head to East Hartford.
