The College Football kicks off full force today. Post your favorite college teams and how you think they will do. Also you can talk about a game to.
Well, im from Michigan so i like Michigan Wolverines. I hate Michigan state. I dont think Michigan is going to do all that good this year. They lost there good recviers over the past couple of years (Edwards and Avant). There only reciever they have still that i kno is Breston. Even tho there ranked 14th starting this season i dont think they will end early. They have a bad schedule....at number 2 norte dame week 3 and at number 1 Ohio state week 12

Don't forget about Penn St., Iowa, and Wisconsin. And then there's always the heated rivalry with Michigan St. As much as Go Blue fans hate Sparty, it's always a good damn game.
I'm also from Michigan, so I'm a Go Blue fan, but I like Sparty as well. I root for both teams, and when they play each other I root for whoever's having the better season. And with that tough U of M schedule that just might be State...
It should be an all-around interesting season of college football though. I mean, any season where West Virginia is a favorite for the BCS Championship Game is bound to be one that has lots of unknowns. What I wonder is can Texas really be a threat without Vince Young? They're playing a two QB system and they really expect that to even out? I don't know about that...

im also wondering how USC will manage to score. They lost there starting QB (who hurt his shoulder in NFL pre season) Matt Leinhert and they also lost there starting running back Reggie Bush and back up running back Londal White.

Also its going to be interesting to see how the refs do. They made so many horrible calls last year (espically during the Michigan vs Nebraska game)
So far they made some bad calls. Espically in the Michigan game. It was 3rd down and they through it to Manningham who caught it in the year and landed and took to steps (making it a complete pass) then was hit tho while landing and taking those two steps and after the 2 steps the ball flew out of bounds at the 1. The refs put the ball at the 1. They actually go it right but then Vnaderbealt challeneged it. The reply clearly showed it was complete pass and then a fumble so Michigan ball at the 1 yard line. But the review people said it was incomplete pass and Michigan had to settle for a FG.

Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top, dirt's too rocky by far

"i thought Norte Dame was 3 (at least they were entering season) and they won there game so i figured Texas stayed number 3."
Let's evaluate that statement...
1 Ohio State, 2 Texas, 3 Notre Dame.

#1 Ohio State vs #2 Texas
its gonna be a really good game. Go Texas. i want Ohio State to lose because there in the Big Ten and so is Michigan.
Michigan should have one of the easiest games today facing Central Michigan.

All the more reason to vote for Ohio State... You know, so that when Michigan beats #1 Ohio State they're the new #1!

The SEC is the best football, has been for a while.
5 teams in the top 13.
4 play each other Saturday, led by the FLORIDA GATORS!

While I happen to be a Gator fan, I might have to disagree that the SEC is the top conference in college football this year. When U of M wins on Saturday we'll all bow down to the Big Ten for the first time in a while.

Hail to the Victories....
Michigan flat out ran over number 2 norte dame. 47-21. Go Michigan.

Either Michigan is that good or ND is overrated.
I choose the latter. Especially after the narrow escape they had at Ga Tech.
Go GATORS!!!!!!

Gator came out with a win in a close one.
Florida State and Miami (Fl) both lost so it seems that Florida Gator are the top team in Florida.

Bah. I'll cheer for the USF Bulls before I bow down to the orange and blue. :(

Go Trojans!!!! USC ran through Nebraska 28-10! Look for them to move back into the #2 spot with eyes on the #1 position. Look for them to blow out Arizona next week.

Yeeeah! Again both of my teams win, Auburn/Florida =)

How can you root for two SEC teams? That's blasphemy.
I look for Go Blue to reach the 5th spot, possibly the 6th spot if they're unlucky. At any rate, that was just the first tough game. Now starts that daunting Big Ten schedule, culminating with the always tough OSU game. It's a good thing that Michigan D is tenacious...

Michigan is ranked 6th :(....should be 5th i think.
How can u like the Trojans? i hate the Trojans.
Ohio State is going be a good game vs Michigan.
Norte Dame is facing State this coming Saturday.
After that game with Norte Dame, State gets to come to the Big House.

HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!!! my family really really loves me. My whole familey went in and bought me Michigan tickets to see Michigan State vs Michigan at the Big House the week after my 16th birthday.
Have fun. I had season tickets for two years back in the 90s and loved every minute.
Not to come off as a complete homer, but OSU beat on Texas in Austin, while UM beat on ND in South Bend. OSU gets 56 first place votes, and Carr's boys gets none? What's up with that? :P
