Nostradamus 2008

I've decided to start a new kind of pool. The rules are simple and the costs are low (i.e., no cost, no winnings).

Rule: predict your college team's record for this football year, and pick the records of any THREE other teams represented by this list. Person with best overall +/- differential will be declared College Football's Nostradamus 2008.

CHRIS:
ND: 7-5 I'd rather be lucky than good. ND gets lucky in a couple of games.
BC: 8-4 The post TO'B era begins, SuperFans rejoice.
NCSU: 7-5 The post Chest era begins, WITH fans rejoice...until they realize they now have The TO'B.
OU: 9-3 Stoops & Co. march towards yet another monumental bowl-game embarrassment.

JeffS:
NCSU 4-8
BC 7-5
ND 5-7
FL 10-2

MattG:
Delaware: 7-4
Florida: 10-2
Ohio State: 9-3
???

JeffH:
OU: 13-0 (NC #8)
ND: 5-6 (visions of the Gerry Faust)
UF: 10-3 (not sold on Tebow for the long haul)
UT: 0-11 (with continuing arrests, whorns roster dwindles to 8 walk-ons by end of the year)

RyanM:
BC: 11-1. Rags to Jags.
NCSt: 5-6. [silence].
OSU: 9-3. Holy Buckeye! Brent Musberger puts out call for John Cooper - "John Cooper, where you @ pard-NER?"
TENN: 7-5. Tell Warren I'm sorry, Britton Colquitt can't hold a damn thing vs the other 18 Colquitt Vol punters. Plus, no Jim Bob Cooter this year.

IvanG:
UF: 10-2
ND: 9-3
PSU: 8-4
MD: 7-5

MarkM:
Stanford 3-9 under the sheer motivating talents of Jim Harbaugh.
Ohio State has been my favorite team since I was a kid so I will predict that they go 10-2.
Notre Dame will be better than people think, 8-4.
Finally, Texas goes 9-3.

WarrenB:
Tennessee .... 7-6 including a win in the Shreveport Poulan Weedeater Bowl - Fat Phil gets fired.
Notre Dame.... 6-7 includng a loss in the Shreveport Poulan Weedeater Bowl - the Catholics (and Episcopals) call for Fat Charlie's resignation.
Penn State.... 8-5
Texas.... 9-4
