BY MIKE HUGUENIN .The Orlando Sentinel (MeT)

This ranking is not meant to be a comparison of talent levels. Rather, the rankings are an objective opinion (he.; guess) of how each player will produce l.J.', in his offense. Also taken into account is the backup, how the quarterbacks fit their offense, the experience level of the quarterbacks and how comfort- able coaches should be entering the season with their quarterbacks.

Ohio State; Troy Smith/Justin Zwick; Smith a nice dual threat, and Zwick is former starter. 4. Hawaii; Colt Brennan Tyler Graunke: Brennan should lead nation in passing yards. 5.
