Welcome to AD NCAA Football Top 15 Blog

Hello All and welcome to my NCAA football discussion blog. I have decided to start this blog with the intent of taking a lot of information from around college football to help me come to an educated top 15 teams. Along with listing my top 15 I will also bring a list of unknown players and best weekly match-ups . On weekly match-ups I will try to give you the time and TV listing for each game as those become available. At all times I will reference facts of many sources such as: Phil Steele's and Athlon Sports National preview annuals along with ESPN.COM NCF stories and SI.COM. In doing so I will only be taking factual stories and doing commentary from those pieces. My ideas and Opinions will always be of my own and will bare facts with thought. I hope all readers of my blog will enjoy and comment on the Top 15 and any other commentary or story I bring forth. At the time of this writing the college football season is less then 60 days away and I am sure everybody is excited for it. Enjoy the Blog and God Bless

WHY #9


11 of the 18 returning starters for the Aggies are Seniors on a team that won 9 games last year. The Previous season started with Jerrod Johnson at QB and Johnson was erratic and not the leader that the team needed under center. Insert Ryan Tannehill and he is a true game manager. Controls the ball. Understands defensive concepts and how to limit turnovers. A perfect fit for the Aggies with the balanced attack that they have with the 1000 yard running back in Cyrus Gray and 1000 yard Receiver in Jeff Fuller. Those two offensive powers will be the rock of the offensive attack in 2011. The Defense in College Station will be just as solid this year as last since the unit returns 8 of 11 starters and 7 of which are seniors. The biggest challenge for the Aggies will be games AT Oklahoma and vs Arkansas in Jerry Jones's palace. Outside of those two games I see winnable games and I forecast a 10 win season for Texas A&M this season.
