Lots of big changes in my newest 2013 NFL Mock Draft. Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas has disappointed, so I have ruled him out at this point as an early entry and he's off the board. I have taken all my running backs out of the first round, not because I think a player like South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore isn't talented, just no in demand compared to the other talent in the draft.

I started putting this list together as I am prepping for the upcoming college football season. I've broken the list into 2 groups, non-conference and conference matchups. Some of these games will have BCS significance and others will be more of traditional importance, but they all look to me to be great games and well worth your time whether you are a fan of the teams or not.
Top 5 non-conference games
5. BYU at Utah September 15th-This matchup has been a tradition for many years, but since the conference changes in 2010 we've been counting down to the beginning of the end of the Holy War. This game is less about 2 great teams fighting for BCS position but marks what may be the end of a great football tradition.
4. Auburn Vs. Clemson(in AtlanContinue Reading >>>
Preseason Top 25
1. Alabama-Even with their losses, they are still so talented on both sides of the football.
2. USC-Probably a national title contender last year if not for their sanctions. Should be in the thick of it all year long.
3. LSU-Another team that took significant losses in terms of personnel but looks ready to reload.
4. Oklahoma-There are questions on both sides of the football, but you can’t deny the passing attack promises to be explosive.
5. Oregon-This ranking could change greatly if the Ducks struggle to find someone to step in for Darron Thomas at quarterback.

 I tell myself every year that I am not going to do this. And every year I do it anyway. I’ve voiced my opinion about the “value” of the Heisman Trophy many times so I will save the keystrokes. But in my old age what I have come to understand is that it has its place in college football, just as bowl games do.

I don't think anyone could have expected that Super Sophomore QB Andrew Luck would return to school for his Junior season but that is just the announcement that Luck made. I think we were all even more shocked when in the wake of that decision former Stanford head coach and new San Francisco 49er head coach Jim Harbaugh decided to leave. But since that announcement Luck has re-affirmed he is still going to return to school even minus his head coach.
So, I started thinking about just what this could mean for Luck and the 2011 NFL draft. And why make this decision?

Let's roll through the Bowls, all 35 of them, in chronological order (maybe). I'm going to lay out who's playing in each one and then make a prediction on who'll win. Yet again I'll point out if I put money on my own predictions my kids would starve. I heartily recommend that you don't base anything financial on my predictions!

Winner: BYU

I decided this year to take a little different approach to ranking defensive lines. On one hand you could look at stats, which is what I see a lot of pundits do. Defenses that don't allow a lot of rush yards per game get a nod. You could think about the potential NFL millionaires along the line, or you can look at the ability to rush he passer. This year, I really only had 2 lines to consider and what it ultimately came down to for me was star power.
