College Football Preview:
Introduction:
by Best Bet Sports handicapper, Jim Sneeringer
of Jim Sneeringer Sports Service & www.daysbestbet.com
Year after year, in order for me to be successful at my craft, and lets face it; here, we are talking being $uccessful, winning football best bets, I must be in on the ground floor of this year's success stories, and capitalize on those overated programs who will soon find themselves on the decline. That's what the high rollers pay me for, to pull "bandwagons", not to jump on them halfway thru a cinderella season.
You can not order it by mail , or even find the Jim Sneeringer College Football Preview
on the shelf, in the back corner, of your neighborhood newsstand.
You can ony find it here @ www.daysbestbet.com.
And, it is free to read.
The Jim Sneeringer College Football Preview was launched here online four years ago with the birth of www.daysbestbet.com.
Our 2005 edition boldly predicted the "Return to Glory" for Joe Paterno and Penn State. A Orange Bowl victory over Florida State, and a #3 ranking proved I was right about the boys from Happy Valley.
That very same College Football Preview picked the Texas Longhorns to win the BCS Championship in a year when most believed USC was the greatest thing since slice bread.
In the 2006 edition of the Jim Sneeringer College Football Preview, I picked the Arkansas Razorbacks to be one of the big surprise stories of 2006, and projected them to play in a major Bowl game.
Darren McFadden and the Hogs did not disapoint as they finished with a #12 ranking after losing to #6 Wisconsin, 17-14 in the Capital One bowl.
The 2006 Preview also warned about the decline of two very successful football programs in the state of Florida, Miami and Florida State. Both schools were projeced by many "experts" to be the cream of the ACC crop.
How did that predicton work out for them?
Below you find The 2010 Jim Sneeringer College Football Preview.
I believe you will find the 2010 season to be filled wih some very interesting
surprises.
I will give you below my projected order of finish in each conference, and I will focus in on each conference's suprise teams for this coming year.
And just a reminder, anyone can afford our college football and NFL Best Bets.

Conference Projections:
Southeastern Conference
Both preseason polls above as you can see have Alabama ranked #1, Florida rank #3 Nationally entering the 2010 college football season.
With no disrespected intended for both Nick Saban and Urban Meyer, I see the SEC and the National Championship picture in a different light.
While everyone is flashing National Championship rings in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, let me remind everyone that Alabama is only returning two starters from their defense. Now I am sure the Crimson Tide will assemble a strong defensive unit, but there will be growing pains and they will be at their best late in the season.
Urban Meyer and the Florida Gators must replace their on and off the field leader, Tim Tebow. Yes, I know this year's Gator offense will actually pass the ball better down field but Tebow was special. Meyer too has to rebuild Florida's defense as the bring back only five starters from last year.
I really am not selling theseprogram short here in 2010, but the stars are all in line for a change at the top of this , the strongest conference in the land.
SEC West:
 | 1. Arkansas Razorbacks
Last year, Bobby Petrino's offense averaged over 29 points per game vs the SEC, and this yea the Hogs return 10 starters from that unit including the SEC top rated passer, Junior Ryan Mallett.
Arkansas Defensive Coach Willie Robinson, now in his third season running the Hogs defense, has seven starters returning this year. You can expect the defensive front, which recorded 29 sacks last year, to reach the quarterback even more in 2010. The secondary this year potentially should show great improvement from 2009. Look for this unit to be extremely quicker to the ball.
With Bama and Florida, who last year dominated the SEC on the defensive side of the ball this year having to rebuild, I am going to tell you right now that their will be joy in Fayetteville,
Arkansas Razorbacks fans are going to celebrate this year as the Hogs will finish the 2010 SEC campaign ~ undefeated , win the SEC crown and most likely play for a National Championship.
2. Alabama
Saban's 2010 Crimson Tide is still one of the best football programs in America, they have QB Greg McElroy , and Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram returning, and overall offensively will be more lethal this year, its just that I will give them no shot at beating Arkansas Sept 25th in Fayetteville..
3. LSU
Improvement is needed on both sides of the ball for the Tigers to finish this high in the West. Coach Miles hinted around on media day that the ground attack will be better in 2010.
Deensively, this unit in 2010 will be much, much quicker on the ends, and that tells me that LSU will put one of the best defenses on the field.
4. Auburn
Manny are picking the Auburn Tigers to contend in the West, but when your defense gives up a average of 20 points per game in conference play in 2009, too much improvement is needed in order for me to take the Tigers serious.
