I appologize to all who were actually following along on my two-a-days, but due to some unkind comments I had to end my predictions. They were done completely in fun, not to gather page views, but some just couldn’t accept my predictions for what they were. I’ve got better things to do then deal with nasty messages, so I will resort to generic conference rankings and a top 25.

Two-A-Days: Team #69 – Syracuse
Quick Thoughts: I personally think Syracuse played a little above their ground last year, winning a game or two they shouldn’t have on paper. Is the coach that good or do they come down a little this year? I think they come down a little.

Two-A-Days: Team #70 – Nevada
Quick Thoughts: Last year’s team was special. This year’s team is good, but not special. Will lose a few more games then fans would like.

Two-A-Days: Team #71 – Minnesota
Quick Thoughts: Huge upgrade at coach with Jerry Kill is going to take a year or two to turn around a terrible program. The real question is how long does Kill stay.

Two-A-Days: Team #72 – Kansas State
Quick Thoughts: Word is going around that the team is not doing the off-season workouts that Coach Snyder wants them to do. Not a good sign for a team that was so bad looking versus Nebraska’s speed last year.
