THE college football thread

[YankeeDoodle]

Plug your conference and team in here. And if you want to take a shot at the BCS, why not, but it's not changing anytime soon. Choklehoma wouldn't have any of it.

 

USC will be going after its 2.5 nd-rd (-ish?), consecutive national champshionship, in Pasadena, CA in the Rose Bowl. Actually that's not exactly my pick; but they're number one (well fine, Harris Poll doesn't come out until a month after the season starts) until someone else can beat them.

 

Bowl Games

 

Gaylords Hotels Music City Bowl? What's next - Meineke Car Care Bowl? Oh wait, that already exists.

 

Edit: Because someone might ask, no, the "THE" in the title is not supposed to endorse Ohio State. Just to give it an extra push. Heh.

[YankeeDoodle]

Bleh, I guess you people stick to your professional sports? Aren't you slightly curious as to how Charlie Weis is going to fare at Notre Dame? Washington's on the schedule this season.

 

Most sources have USC at number one, Tennessee's pretty high, Big Ten as the best conference. Texas is not going anywhere until they beat Oklahoma. Every year, it's the same ol' sad story, and every year under the Mack Brown tenure, they lose.

 

Btw, Jason White's done with the NFL due to his "bad knees". I'm not saying anything.

[See Red]

I think USC takes it's 3rd straight National Title. I've read/heard that they're better than last year and the only issue is whether or not they get complacent.

[yankeessuck013]

yup...USC all the way

[YankeeDoodle]

I think it's just too hard. It's not a knock because they've already accomplished so much. The core of their team is still there, with Leinart, Bush, etc. Not to mention since it's being held in Pasadena, they're quite the favs to go there.

 

Who will get screwed over by the BCS, isn't that the question every year? <_>

[Sizzlin22]

USC will lose in the chamionship game by a slim margin to UCONN. U-C-O-N-N UCONN UCONN UCONN.

[yankeessuck013]

haha..UCONN?!?!? LOL

 

didnt their college basketball players like steal computers from the dorms?

[Sox fan in Tex]

Gig'em Aggies! I have a good feeling about this year... possibly a trip to the Big XII Championship. With Oklahoma not being as strong, and texas losing some key players, all the power to the Fightin' Texas Aggies! WHOOP!

[Sizzlin22]

haha..UCONN?!?!? LOL

Basketball players are god here in CT. They could hiest a bank here and no one would care.

[yankeessuck013]

BC Eagles football= can't wait

[schillingouttheks]

I'm with ya on that one arodh8r. I went to BC/Miami game 2 years ago I believe, was the only one I really was able to get into the stadium. I also live less than 30 seconds from Alumni Stadium <_ but my football team this year is going to play belmont hill in alumni stadium and it gunna be a kickass day one for the memories src="//d1mqtyoopj0gsc.cloudfront.net/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)">

[arodh8r]

I'm hoping Porter is better than he was 2 years ago. I'll miss Petersen (poor guy) Kiwi should be 1st round pick after this season. And triple threat in the backfield. Here's to a great season :thumbsup:

[DrewDaGreat]

BC Eagles football= can't wait

 

to get stomped by Florida State?

 

 

 

[yankeessuck013]

BC Eagles football= can't wait

 

i went to the BC/Syracuse game last year where we spoiled your guy's bid for a BCS bowl.

[schillingouttheks]

I was SO PISSED OFF. You have NO IDEA. Oh yeah, I went to the b-ball game where we beat you at BC :harhar:

[arodh8r]

It's a new season. I'd like to forget about Syracuse/BC last year

[yankeessuck013]

I was SO PISSED OFF. You have NO IDEA. Oh yeah, I went to the b-ball game where we beat you at BC :harhar:

 

i went to the game where you guys won the national championship....oh wait....nevermind

[schillingouttheks]

Meh, shut up lol. At least we didn't lose first round to Vermont Heh, it's all in good fun

[yankeessuck013]

hah, oh well s*** happens.

 

hopefully we get to play you guys in OOC games, I know in football we are but hopefully we do in basketball too.

[GabeKaplerluver19]

Go WNEC Golden Bears

[yankeessuck013]

hahaha on cold pizza skip bayless said "usc is such a lock, they are not a lock and thats why they are going to lose to notre dame"....lol NOTRE LAME, hahahahahaha!!!!!

 

adn woody paige thinks texas is gonna win.

[YankeeDoodle]

Win the whole thing? Texas ain't winning nothin' if they can't win against Oklahoma, and the game against Ohio State will be very telling for both teams. If Mack Brown can't win one of two, he'll be honing his "BCS Speech, part two", and voters won't be so sympathetic this year.

 

LOL, Matt Leinart has all his graduation credits, but he has to enroll in one class to be NCAA-eligible, so he's taking ballroom dancing with his girlfriend.

 

I don't think they'll be like, FOUR undefeated teams this year, but that's why a loss can be devastating.

[yankeessuck013]

hahhaa, what a great way to spend your last year in school EVER

[Sizzlin22]

BC SUCKS!!!! f***ing Big East traitors.

[YankeeDoodle]

Bwahaha, schools switching conferences to help with the football schedule. ACC hoops isn't cupcake, though.

[yankeessuck013]

word dude glad we beat BC in that last game. but big east basketball will be sick. louisville, cincinatti, villanova, uconn, 'cuse, pitt, west virginia, depaul, marquette, notre lame. I expect 8 or 9 bids this year.

[YankeeDoodle]

Yeah but Big East didn't fare too well in the tourney last year; there were more ACC teams left despite less bids.

[yankeessuck013]

north carolina is gonna suck this year, and duke should be ok, other than that who else is to worry about?

[YankeeDoodle]

NC, even though I'd like to see nothing than Roy-Roy exposed (try recruiting your own players, give Doherty that), with that kind of program, they just reload, not rebuild. Wake even though they lost Paul. GT might rebound. NC State always has guts. MD...not commenting.

 

Iowa? Is taking the Big Ten title? No Michigan and no OSU. How does Iowa State avoid Oklahoma and Texas, anyways? (Yeah, switched conferences there.)

 

Interesting games on paper:

Texas at Ohio State - 10/10

Ohio State at Michigan - 11/19

Red River Shootout - meh?

 

Me look at schedule some other day.
