Will UNC Challenge in 2008?
CollegeGameBalls: College Football at its Finest — ... UNC is coming off a 4-8 season where their marquee win was against the 1-11 Duke intramural squad.  However, the Tar Heels are the trendy pick to win ACC Coastal division because of some very close losses.  As a Hokie I’ve become caught up in figuring out whether or not they are the real deal. The three reasons why I think UNC will go from 4-8 to 8-4 (or better) are: a lot of returning talent, a very favorable schedule and top notch coaching. ...

ESPN Predictions
Sports Blog - football, basketball, and baseball — ... ESPN has a group of “experts” together to make their picks, and they range widely.

College Football Top 10: No. 1 Georgia
The Big Lead — ... Six games against teams currently ranked in the Top 25. Three road games against teams currently ranked in the Top 15. Among ESPN’s cavalcade of “experts,” just one has Georgia winning the title, and that guy, Mark Schlabach, is a noted Georgia homer who spent plenty of time at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and, as the tale goes, lived in Atlanta for a bit while working at the Washington Post. ...
