Today being one of the few days with no major sporting events, I was reading up on the upcoming college football season. I"m looking forward to it. There are three teams who are in serious contention for the national title: Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma. Three QBs with Heisman chances in Bradford, Tebow, and McCoy.
Texas and Oklahoma will play each other in what should be the most anticipated game of the year. I’m also eager to see USC at Ohio State. Ohio State was seriously embarrassed last year and now USC has to play at the horseshoe.
I’m sure we will hear lots about Tennessee and Florida. Florida will probably run up the score on the Vols. Too bad Florida doesn’t place Ole Miss this year. Still, there is always the Florida/Georgia game which has been…interesting…the past 2 years.
The Pac 10 has a lot to prove this year. Wow, last year was a seriously bad year for the conference. While I think Orrin Hatch needs to shut up, the Pac 10 did lose too many games to the Mountain West last year.
Will Notre Dame continue to be as bad as they were last year? Will Michigan be an embarrassment? Will Florida State or Miami return to dominate the ACC?
I can’t wait until August! Of course, ESPN will probably ruin it for me by spending hours whining about the BCS and ignoring what actually happens on the field.
The SEC always has a few surprises. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss may be a step ahead of everybody else this year. Miss State has a new coach, and rumor is may be planning to run a Florida style offense. That’s gonna be hard to do without Florida level talent.
I can’t wait to get in the gophers new stadium! I drive by it once a week and it’s beautiful. Got my season tickets and I’m ready for the gophers to dominate! (Really, they will. C’mon, don’t ruin this for me.)
I’m ready for my Spartans to take it to the next level. Looking forward to beating Michigan for the second straight year. And no Buckeyes on the schedule! Woot!
Spartans best chance for a good year is to avoid all decent competition. They should avoid Ohio State permanently and schedule Northwestern 4 or 5 times a year.
Do you really not want to prove yourself against the good teams?
Why? It doesn’t affect the idiot voters’ results. Team A and B are ranked #9 and #10. Team A beats the crap out of Rice, Team B barely squeaks by USC. Team A is going to move up higher.
Oklahoma State has a decent chance of being a surprise team this year. They play Georgia at home to start the year. A big win there could provide them with significant momentum. They also play Texas at home. Oklahoma on the road in the last game of the season will be their toughest test. I could seriously see them ranked number 1 going into that game.
As much as I hate to admit, the PAC-10 had an outstanding bowl season last year.
Look for USC to manhandle the Buckeyes once again. The Big-10 [sic] is in a deep abyss and I don’t see them coming out of it. The Big-10 [sic] has not had a really big non-conference win in several years.
On another board I frequent, a delusional Notre Dame fan is adamantly predicting a 10-2 season. They better hope they don’t play a 3-8 Syracuse at home again this year, on Senior Day. LMAO
I look for the SEC to be dominant once again. Florida will be the class of the conference and I think Tebow will get his 2nd Heisman.
My alma mater, Ga Tech, is getting a lot of respect in pre-season polls. Woo hoo.
Last chance to jump on the Oklahoma State Bandwagon!
Starting off against Georgia in the finished BPS, then 3 more non-con games, building towards playing Texas on Halloween at home and at OU over Thanksgiving to finish out the season.
Oklahoma State will make the Big 12 very interesting this year. They’ll get Texas at home and Texas will be coming off Oklahoma two weeks prior and a trip to Missouri the week before. Can OSU be this year’s Texas Tech?
Can’t overlook my Tigers. The talent was there on defense last season, but the co-DCs were atrocious. One team player said there were multiple times in the season where one DC called in one play and the other DC called a different one. Chavis should really turn things around considering how he did at UT with less overall talent.
Jordan Jefferson looks to be a significant improve over Jarrett Lee, and he’ll have an excellent line, WR corps, and running game to help him out . If things don’t work out with JJ, Russell Shepard should come in and be at least comparable to what Pryor was for OSU last year.
