Mark Schlabach posted an article on ESPN.com analyzing his so called projection of next year's college football season.  Honestly, i felt that he hit it(no innuendo)pretty accurately being that UT was ranked #7...take a looksee:

2008 Projected Top 25

#7 behind some teams that are returning enough talent to be pretty dang good next season doesnt upset me at the least bit.  Nationally, we're in the top 10 in the polls, we're projected in articles like this at #7, yet we are on the verge of signing the top running back prospect in the country and somebody on the roster is bound to step up and take the responsibility of taking UT back to the top on their own shoulders. Im saving my money to buy a National Championship jacket, next time we win it and im highly confident that'll be soon.

Throw ya Horns.
