Conference by Conference, with some bold predictions thrown in:

JuDa:

ACC
Top 3: Wake Forest, Clemson, VT
Sleeper: Da U
Big East
Top 3: WVU, UConn, 'Nati
Underachiever: South Florida
SEC
Auburn over UF in the title game
Upset Special: The Cocks down #1 UGA on Sept 13th (which has officially been declared a Holiday)
Pac 10
USC...even with QB struggles
Big Ten

Big 12
OU over CU in the title game
Sleeper: See above
Underachiever: Mizzou

Heisman: Beanie, with Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow making guest appearances
Coach of the Year: Jim Grobe and his Top 10 Demon Deacons

Bold Predictions:
Texas has a surpise season, and grabs an at large BCS bid ... Illinois regresses this season ... IU goes bowln in consecutive seasons ... Purdue struggles to win two conference games ... Michigan misses a bowl ... Clemson, TTech, and ASU dissappoint ... South Carolina threatens to take the SEC ... Washington finishes 2nd in the Pac 10 ... ND grabs 8-10 wins ... Mike Gundy gets fired at Okie State ... OSU wins at SC.

ScarletnGray:

ACC
Top 3: Clemson, Miami, Wake
Sleeper: UNC
Underachiever: VT
Random Rant: How can a coach get away with red-shirting his best option at QB and basically sacrificing the season. VT fans should revolt, Tyrod Taylor should be your starting QB.
Big East
Top 3: WVU, USF, UC
Sleeper: UConn
Underachiever: Pitt (Mr. Wannstedt, paging Mr. Wandstedt, we have a coordinator's role open for you)
SEC
Florida vs. Auburn for the SEC Title, with the Tigers rolling on (thank you schedule makers)
Sleeper(s): Ole Miss and the 'Ol Ball Coach
Underachiever: UGA...pushing FSU of the late 90's for most arrests in a season
Pac 10
Top 3: USC, ASU, Washington
Sleeper: Arizona
Underachiever: Oregon
Big 12
OU vs. Nebraska with the Sooners in a blow out
UnderachieverS: Mizzou, Kansas, Texas Tech
Big 10
Top 3: OSU, Wisconsin, MSU
Sleeper: NW
Underachiever: Michigan...top 25, seriously? 10 starters back, slow white boy running the show at QB, top RB blowing 3 times the legal limit, DickRod for your coach!?!?!

Championship Game: OSU vs. OU...Buckeyes make the 3rd Time the Charm, 34-27.
Coach of the Year: Bo Pelini...Randy Shannon a close second at Da U
Heisman: Beanie, joined by Tebow and Pat White as finalists

Bold Predictions
Wisconsin finally makes a BCS game, BYU runs the table, Kirk Ferentz is done at Iowa (and not b/c of his record), the Canes win 9-10 games, Joe Ganz is a national name by the end of the year, Kansas, VT, Penn State and LSU are all huge dissapointments, ND struggles to win 7 with front butt coaching
and the SEC tries to sue the NCAA for not putting one of their teams in the championship game
