No. 3 Oklahoma | No. 5 LSU | Top 25No. 3: Florida StateLast Season: 10-3 (6-2 ACC Atlantic)A status quo worth maintainingLooking for cute tweets of Jimbo Fisher climbing trees in recruits yards? Dont bother. Been Googling FSU satellite camp tour? Forget it. I dont have any problem with any coach who feels like they need to do that stuff, says Fisher, in his seventh season at the tip of the flaming spear. I just dont think we need to. Our approach has worked pretty well so far. So well that its 10 wins in 2015-the teams fewest since 2011-felt like a huge letdown. The same hefty questions from a year ago still exist: Who will be the quarterback (senior Sean Maguire, who passed for just 1,520 yards last season, or one of two four-star freshman dual threats, Deondre Francois or Malik Henry)? And can any of them beat Clemson? Of course, solving both problems will be much easier if Heisman hopeful Dalvin Cook, who ran for 1,691 yards and 19 touchdowns as a sophomore last season, maintains his torrid pace. --Ryan McGeeLast year FSU had the least experienced team in the entire FBS but still went 10-3 and nearly won in Death Valley. Add the fact that the Noles have averaged the third-best recruiting class over the past five years and that Fisher has a reputation as one of the best coaches at talent development and thats quite a combination. Along with Cook (1,935 scrimmage yards), they have my No. 6-ranked WR corps and a top-three O-line. And on defense, FSU has my ninth-rated D-line, No. 12 LBs and No. 21 secondary. While the Noles face my 14th-toughest schedule, I have them favored in every contest, with the closest games being Clemson (-3), at Louisville (-3) and at Miami (-4). You heard it here first: FSU is my favorite to win this years national title.IN IF... QB play is an asset. The wealth of talent surrounding the signal-caller -- whether its Maguire, Francois or Henry -- will help shoulder the load, but the Noles must improve on last years middle-of-the-pack ACC QBR (66.0) to get over the playoff hump.OUT IF... FSU falls to Clemson at home. The Tigers are too talented (FPI rank: 5) and their schedule too light (FPI: 36) to hope for two conference losses elsewhere.FSUs chances to win each game 09.05 vs. Ole Miss (Orlando): 70.5% 09.10 vs. Charleston Southern: ?99.7% 09.17 @ Louisville: 71.5% 09.24 @ South Florida: ?89.4% 10.01 vs. North Carolina: 85.7% 10.08 @ Miami: 81.6%% 10.15 vs. Wake Forest: ?96.2% 10.29 vs. Clemson: 63.5% 11.05 @ NC State: 87.6% 11.11 vs. Boston College: 95.5% 11.19 @ Syracuse: 92.2% 11.26 @ Florida: 85.6%No matter the quarterback, running back Dalvin Cook makes the Florida State offense fearsome. Pair that group with what looks to be one of the best defenses in the country, and the Seminoles should go 11-1 with a shot at a playoff spot.?-- Andrea AdelsonThere is simply no letting up in Tallahassee, where ballyhooed recruiting classes are there to replenish the program at even the slightest hint of a letup. Deondre Francois may not be Jameis Winston 2.0, but he wont need to be on a roster good enough to navigate a tough schedule and go 11-1, giving the Noles a shot at a playoff berth. -- Matt FortunaQuarterbacks get all the hype, and Florida State doesnt have a definite answer there. The rest of the roster though? Look out. The Seminoles are as deep and talented as any team in the country, and even at 11-1, they could be a factor in the playoff discussion.?-- David HaleTalent and experience around the quarterback should ease the transition for whomever Jimbo Fisher picks. Schedule strength and an 11-1 record puts them in the playoff.?-- Jared ShankerNo. 3 Oklahoma | No. 5 LSU | Top 25 Salomon Shoes Nz Sale . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon has its highest preseason ranking in history.The Ducks are No. 5 in the Associated Press Top 25 as they prepare to open the season Friday night at home against Army. That is the same spot Oregon held ended last season before losing to Oklahoma in the Elite Eight.The Ducks return four starters but first-team, all-conference forward Dillon Brooks will miss the start of the season after having foot surgery in September. The 6-foot-7 junior led Oregon with 16.7 points and 3.1 assists per game last season.Until Brooks returns, sophomore guard Tyler Dorsey is Oregons top returning scorer after averaging 13.4 points per game last season.We have been preparing for this moment and the hype is coming in with preseason top-five rankings, Dorsey said. We have to focus on the season coming around and take this last week seriously. We have to get ready because the hype means nothing. Teams will come at us like Oklahoma did in the scrimmage. They were the underdog, so we need to get ready for teams like that.Six-foot-10 center Chris Boucher set the Oregon school record with 110 blocked shots last season while averaging 12.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. Point guard Casey Benson averaged 6.0 points and 3.1 assists per game.The Ducks add senior guard Dylan Ennis, a graduate transfer from Villanova who successfully appealed for a sixth year of eligibility after missing all but two games last year due to injury.The Ducks were picked as an overwhelming favorite to repeat as Pac-12 Conference champions, but coach Dana Altman said the team still has to live up to the hype.I know a lot of nice things are being said about us, we arent anywhere near that team right now, Altman said.Dorsey said the Ducks need to take the same attitude as last year when they were not ranked in the preseason poolls, but captured their first conference crown since 2002.dddddddddddd.We have to look at it like we are the underdogs like last season and take the same mentality, he said. There is going to be pressure. Being in the top-five in the country there will be a target on our back, but we have to thrive under pressure.Oregon has a trio of shot-blockers led by Boucher and 6-9 junior Jordan Bell, who holds the school record with 147 blocks in two seasons. Kavell Bigby-Williams joined the team after averaging 5.6 blocks per game last year in junior college.We have great shot-blockers in the back so we know if we get blown by then there is help, Dorsey said. It is definitely hard to score against us in the paint. If you get in there, you have to float it up high or it will get swatted. It definitely changes your shot.The Ducks expect to start three guards with Dorsey, Benson and Ennis at least until Brooks returns, likely in late November. Bell and Boucher will round out the starting line-up with Bigby-Williams coming off the bench.Oregon added three freshmen -- guard Payton Pritchard and forwards M.J. Cage and Keith Smith -- who will also be counted on to contribute this season.The Ducks will be tested early with four of their first six games on the road, including a trip to Baylor on Nov. 15. Oregon is at the Maui Invitational from Nov. 21-23.My expectations are always high for our team, Altman said. I want them to play our best and we are not playing anywhere near our best. They are not wanting to take care of the details of the game and fundamentals. It is a simple game, the game doesnt change, and right now we are not taking care of the things we need to take care of.
