Can Florida repeat?
How much ass will USC kick this year?
Will OSU or Michigan win the Big Ten?
Will Darren McFadden win the Heisman?
Let’s go Boilers!
THIS OUR YEAR!!
THIS ONE’S FOR BO!!!
HAIL! HAIL! TO MICHIGAN!!!
Ugh. Purdue has to play Michigan for the first time since 2004 (and OSU, taboot).
We lost 16-14 that year and that team, IMO, was better than the Rose Bowl team of 2000.
WE’re coming to getcha!!!

Here’s a link to an Excel file that lists the schedules for all D-1 teams.
Using helmets!
And there’s a top 25 matchup on the first Saturday of the season!!!
#15 Tennessee at #12 California 8:30 ABC

Hell by the end of the first day at least 1 team’s National Championship hopes will be dashed!
i hate this thread. im considering deleting it.
I definitely wouldn’t call it a “doozy”
BUT MY TEAM IS SURELY GOING TO KECK YER TEAMS IIZZZASSS!!!
So does that mean you don’t want to go out to the backyard and toss the pigskin around?
:-/
:’(
All biases aside, USC will kick lots of ass. Lots. Michigan will win the Big Ten. Florida will be disappointing. Miami will be better than everyone thinks. BC will be disappointing. LSU as always will be a title contender. I am just excited about UGA '08…
That’s funny…I thought that LAST year was year and that LAST year was for Bo. You can’t just take back last year’s gift to Bo and then mail him this year instead. Seriously, you guys are gonna have issues on your defense. Watch out for those Appy State Mountaineers. LOL
Anyway, GO STATE!!! Let’s…uh…make a bowl game for once!!! At least we don’t have Bozo the clown as our coach anymore. I like Javon Ringer and Hoyer on offense but Coach Dantonio has quite a mess to clean up on defense…not to mention one of the toughest schedules in the country. If we salvage a bowl bid out of this year, it’s a miracle.
And yes, I’m VERY pumped for the Cal/Tennessee game. Cal’s a joke every year anyway…let’s eliminate them in Week 1 so I don’t have to listen to hype on their fraudulant asses until next year.
And how about Week 2: VA Tech vs LSU…droooooooool

Oh…and here’s a funny commentary by NFL writer, Gregg Easterbrook on the college football scheduling and what a joke it is. Enjoy. The full article is here
"What if the defending Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts had several CFL teams on their schedule this fall, plus played at home more often than on the road? That is the scenario evolving in the football-factory NCAA, which kicks off the season Thursday night. In many cases, the power teams can choose which opponents to schedule and, increasingly, they are choosing cupcakes with cherries on top.
Defending BCS champion Florida opens at home against Western Kentucky, which has faced three ranked opponents in the past five years and lost to them by a combined score of 123-28. On the season, the Gators play seven home games and only five road dates. Texas, No. 4 in the Associated Press preseason poll, plays seven home games and five road dates. No. 7 Wisconsin plays seven home games and only five road dates, and has a home game against The Citadel, a Division I-AA team that normally lines up against Furman and Wofford.
No. 10 Louisville faces a real monster slate – the Cardinals open with consecutive home games against Murray State, which last year finished 1-10 in Division I-AA, then bravely face Middle Tennessee, which last year lost 59-0 at Oklahoma. No. 13 Georgia has eight home games and just four on the road; the Bulldogs play Division I-AA Western Carolina at home.
No. 16 Rutgers plays eight home games and four on the road, opening at home against the University at Buffalo, which is 7-51 over the past five seasons. No. 18 Auburn plays eight at home and four away, including four consecutive home dates to kick off the season. The Tigers fearlessly face, at home, Tennessee Tech, a Division I-AA squad that normally takes the field against Cumberland and Austin Peay. No. 20 Nebraska plays seven of 12 at home. (Note: Bet the Cornhuskers thought they were booking a cupcake when, several years ago, they signed a contract to host Wake Forest this autumn.)
The college season’s phoniest schedule? Arkansas, ranked 21st by the AP, plays eight at home and four away, and the Razorbacks’ schedule includes North Texas, Division I-AA Tennessee-Chattanooga and Florida International, which was 0-12 in 2006. Maybe next year Arkansas will schedule a game against the Dillon Panthers. At home, of course!
Facing a cupcake slate and then receiving a bowl bid is becoming standard among football factories. Doing so became even easier in 2006, when Division I schedules expanded to 12 games. The added weekend makes financial sense given that big-school football is among the few collegiate sports that is a net producer of revenue. But with a 12-game slate and only six wins required for bowl eligibility, and most football factory schools this season playing at least seven of 12 at home, an orangutan could coach a top-25 school into a bowl. Just imagine the Colts’ edge if they played nine at home and seven away. Imagine Denver’s edge if the Broncos played 10 of their 16 games at Once It Was Called Mile High Stadium. Meanwhile, Tuesday Morning Quarterback salutes preseason No. 1 USC for bucking the cupcake trend: The Trojans play six at home and six away, just as it should be."
Kudos to USC at least…
And amazingly he neglects to mention Michigan who plays eight home games and four away against such power houses as Divison I-A Appalachian State and Eastern Michigan. Tight travel budget, guys?

^M GO BLUE!!!
Yo Stevo, do you listen to 1130 when they always drop the soundbite of Joh L. sMith? Fucking funny
Oh yeah…I have 1130 on basically all day since it’s the only way I get through work without going insane. I love all the John L drops, especially the one at halftime of the Ohio State game when they botched the field goal. Of course, it begs the question…
“If someone comes into your house and craps on your floor, what are you gonna do?”
I…I don’t know…
I definitely am looking forward to Saturday mornings now more.
College Gameday is a great show if you’re a hardcore NCAA football fan.
should be a sold out crowd tonight. hopefully cuse can pull out a win. it’s a nationally televised game (espn) if you don’t have anything better to do.
I don’t really have anything better to do, so I might check it out.
They’re saying Washington might have the toughest schedule in the country…after 'Cuse they play six straight ranked teams!
OH MAN!!! 28-14, Appalachian State over Michigan??? You Wolverine fans just better pack it up. Game’s over already.
On right through for MSU, watch the points keep rolling…
