FSU tOSU were locks. . . .winner of the Auburn/Bama title game and likely Oregon . .. with Cotcher his usual pot stirring self picking the dirt buglers. . . .

Seems about right. . . .I would like to add a "pick your dark horse" candidate to emerge .. . 

As far as alternate unis go, seeing what OU is rolling out. . . why go to something that looks like crap just to be different.  Personally I loved the numbers over the horns on the helmet look but bad juju .. . 2013 was not a memorable year

Good stuff... . .

Also, any word on 7 on 7s. . .awfully quiet this year.. .

 With all due respect... Am I the only person that watched more of Auburns season other than just their games v Bama and the title game? I would bet any person on this board any amount of money that Auburn sees no part of being in the final four this year. The won more games last year on pure luck than anybody else in the country. If that one specific UGA defender bats the final pass of the game down rather than being a clown, trying to catch it, and tipping it to an Auburn WR for a TD we aren't even talking about this. They played in a SEC title game which featured zero defense and lets be real, them v Bama is absolutely one of the luckiest things that I have ever seen to end a game.  6 of their games were won by 7 points or less. 9 of their opponents finished with 8 or fewer wins. Which says to me their schedule consisted of teams no better than so many other teams from the power 5. Annnd they lost of their biggest stud in Tre Mason. Forgive my hatred for the always overhyped SEC, it can get the best of me at times. Its always the same thing every year and Jesus Christ it gets old since so much of this media bias helps them in the rankings, helps them with recruiting, and makes them money. Rant over. 

ALL that said... Im going against the grain a bit... FSU, MichSt, Stanford, the fourth is a tough one I can't narrow down(Baylor, Bama, several possible dark horses).

I agree with you, Bevostuntdouble. I think the Tigers come back to the pack. All of what you pointed out has merit, plus I think Year 2 for Malzahn will be more difficult. Teams will be better prepared with an entire season of film to watch.

cheese as for stirring the pot and being the loner to pick OU....that pick was more of a comment on what I expect from the Big 12 this year. I don't think the conference will be particularly strong, so it sets up well for a team to go 9-1. If Knight is half as good as he was in the Sugar Bowl, this is the type of year that the Sooners have taken advantage during the regular season and then been exposed in the bowl season.
