2011 College Football Preview - Top 74 (Updated September 1, 2011)

Jabesblog will start its 2011 College Football Preview with a reveal of my Top 74 teams.  Why 74 you ask?  I am predicting that there will be 74 teams with bowl-eligible records.  With 70 spots available in bowls, 4 of these teams will be left out.  At the current time, one of these 74 teams is ineligible for a bowl in 2011 (USC).  A second team could be added to this equation pending the NCAA investigation of Ohio State.  I have left records out at this point and will reveal them in the Conference Previews.
