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 #10


Until a few weeks ago Wisconsin wasn't on this list Ohio State was. Then Terrelle Pryor and Jim Tressel both either left or were fired and that left me searching for a replacement for them because as I will explain over time I just don't believe you replace a legend and a really good QB in a short off season. That story is for another day this is about the Badgers who in the last week went from having an average to below average QB in Jon Budmayr to having a seasoned star QB in Russell Wilson who in a loophole in NCAA rules has transferred from NC State to Wisconsin. Wilson a true big time college QB makes Wisconsin immediately a contender to repeat a trip to the rose bowl if not beyond. Two 1000 yard backs line up behind him with a combined 32 touchdowns. You can add the total between some two team combination backfields and not get 32 it really is a gigantic number. We do have some  pitfalls. First the schedule looks to be in good shape at first with the first 6 games either at home or a neutral site but, then two sets of back to back road games with one of those being at Michigan state and Ohio State back to back. That is a serious road block and even Wisconsin fans have to be hoping for just a split. The other is much more winnable in @ Minnesota and @Illinois. If They get past Nebraska Early then I could see 11-1. I don't however think at this time they will beat Nebraska. I see a loss in that game vs Nebraska and a Split in the back to backs vs Mich St and Ohio State which leaves the Badgers at 10-2 and still very good. I see a possible  At large BCS game for the Badgers.
