not thrilled about possibility of playing Houston, which isn't a guarantee because they can lose to Southern Miss, I don't mind the additional national attention this team would get playing in a BCS Bowl.
they win at least 10 games next year. They are losing their best player on offense, 3 starting OL, and up to 7 starters on defense. I think 7-8 wins is realistic.
-Alabama- 4 offense (OL. 2 WR, TE), 5 defensive (DL, 2 LB, CB, S)…possible they1 additional O players (RB) and 2 D players (LB and S) to the NFL Draft;
It is really possible they lose three quarters of their D and all of their 2011 starters at the O skill positions.
-Notre Dame- 4 offense (WR, 3 OL), 7 defensive (2 DL, LB, 2 CB, 2 S)…**possible they lose Te’o as well to lose 8 defensive players total;
They will lose more than three quarters of their starters on D and potentially their best defensive player. On O, they are losing most of their OL, their best O player, and will probably have another QB controversy.
-Purdue- 3 offense (WR, 2 OL), 4 defensive (DL, LB, 2 S)…**possible they could lose DT Kewann Shot to the draft to lose 5 D players overall;
-Illinois- 4 offense (RB, WR, 2 OL), 3 defensive (2 LB, CB)…*very possible they lose Mercilus to the NFL draft for a total for 4 defensive players leaving;
-Michigan State- 5 offense (QB, FB, 2 WR, 1 OL), 1 defensive (S)…very possible they lose Worthy to the NFL Draft for 2 defensive players leaving;
Not losing a lot overall, but what they are losing on O is huge…two best O players and a really experienced QB.
A lot like MSU…losing nothing on defense, but they are losing a lot in terms of value on O...their best RB, their best WR, and most of their OL. If Meyer comes on board, I don’t expect an immediate transition and domination because outside of Miller, they lack the players for his system.
