Its July, and already the shelves are stuffed with early preseason magazines for college football. It’s way too premature to know who is going to be the best. Typically, the traditional powerhouses get the benefit of the doubt, and the under the radar teams receive no street cred.
We see it every year. The Texas and Oklahoma’s of the world are like stock moguls Apple and Google, and everybody goes for a ride on their choo-choo train. Meanwhile, teams like Kansas State and Oklahoma State are thrown away like last year’s Netflix and Expedia shares.
Everybody wins in different ways - coaching, recruiting, facilities, tradition, strength of schedule, etc.
