After peering into his crystal ball, Colin Cowherd predicts how the 2009 college football season will play out. Colin looks at the team's QB, head coach and schedules before making his decision. Those three things will tell you how successful a team will be each year.

Colin's 2009 College Football Picks

1.
Texas
Colt McCoy is a great QB and the Longhorns will pound the ball in a weak defensive conference.

2.
Florida
Tim Tebow is back, but people have no idea how valuable Percy Harvin was.

3.
Oklahoma
The Sooners still have Sam Bradford, the best NFL prospect at QB.

4.
LSU
The Tigers possess a ton of talent that you've never heard of.

5.
USC
The Trojans are inexperienced at QB and have too many tough road games.

6.
Ohio State
The Big Ten looks weak yet again.

7.
Oklahoma State
A team with a clever QB and offensive-minded coaches.

8.
Ole Miss
This program has an outside chance at the national title.

9.
Oregon
The Ducks will score themselves a bunch of wins in a weak conference.

10.
Notre Dame
Charlie Weis' group plays nine games against teams with new QBs. Notre Dame isn't the 10th-best team in the nation, but this is where they'll finish.
