| Irish Hoops Mod        | I'm Even More Pumped After This... Phil Steele, author of Phil Steele's College Preview, has Notre Dame ranked at #19 for this year. Steele's magazine is my personal favorite and is recognized by many as the best. Just saw on the website where he posted some of his Top 25 and was pumped to see ND on there. This guy is amazing at making picks, and this makes me so much more confident in the Irish this upcoming season. http://www.philsteele.com/

Yes, but South Carolina returns 17 starters and even beat Georgia last year. They were 6-1 before collapsing at the end of the season. I feel as if Georgia is a good team, but very over-hyped after beating Hawaii easily last year, and Georgia's schedule (at South Carolina, at Arizona State, vs. Alabama, vs. Tennessee, at LSU, a neutral game against Florida, and at Auburn) makes it nearly impossible for them to not lose at least 2 games in my opinion. Phil Steele rates Georgia's schedule as the 3rd toughest in the country, and South Carolina as the 26th. Moreover, if the schedule strength was ranked by opponents winning percentage in 2007, Georgia would by far have the toughest, and played 10 teams with winning records. Just looking at the schedules, I would predict that Georgia will go 10-2 and South Carolina will go 8-4. Another interesting note is that he ranks Notre Dame's schedule as 67th hardest and USC as the only team ranked ahead of ND. Good to see that at least one expert expects good things from ND this year.
