Mark my words the south is gonna bring havoc on the league this season especially Columbus, Augusta and Florida... Especially goodman the running back from columbus who rushed for over 600 yards last season and 21 touchdowns. Marvin Stone from augusta who had 1400 yards receiving and 38 touchdowns and thats not even counting there special teams return. goodman return 4 kick returns for a touchdown in one game last season. I'm not putting any doubts past the north but dont sleep on the south at all alot of north teams are gonna be suprised by how good the south is.
