I just think the SEC is going to be too brutal this year for any SEC team to emerge unscathed.

Although back in '04, Auburn did get through the SEC unscathed and still didn't get into the BCS title game.

Whether or not you like the Pac-10, you have to give the left coast league its just due for being the BCS conference that does the most for college football

Right. The ole powerful Pac 1 and the little 9. USC and all the others.

The difference is, this year you have South Carolina and Kentucky which should be more competitive, and Ole Miss should be better this year as well. Other than Vandy and Mississippi State, I think the other 10 SEC teams could all be bowl eligible.

"Well, technically, they are in the Pac-10 :)"

I'd say, "Unoficially"

It will be interesting to see how well Boise does this year in foosball...I live in Ideeho and the word on the street in Boise is that the team won't be as good as last season, but they will be good. Should be fun.
Cheers

Random observation: The University of Tennessee has the hottest cheersqealers. I think an investigtion would confirm.

I'll lead this investigation. :)

BSU will be just fine in WAC play, they bring back Ian Johnson and much of their o-line. On defense and at QB will probably be their biggest question marks. I think depending on who steps up at the QB position--if it's Taylor Tharp, Bush Hamdan, heck, even if by some minor miracle Neil Lomax's son takes the job. Their two toughest games will be on the road @ Washington and Hawai'i, but if they can find a way to get past the Dawgs up in Seattle...

I live in Ideeho

Hey, me too! :)

South Carolina I believe, but with UK I need some more convincing. Do they have a lot of guys coming back from last year?

I think most of UK’s offense is coming back, the big question, as always with Kentucky, will be their defense.

And if they can replace one of my all-time favorite non-Ute college football players:

Luckily for me, I don’t have a “hat hangin’” place, so I always figured that gave me carte blanche...being unattached and all. :)

Although I tend to remember them more for beating the tar out of my Utes to start off last season. This year’s game in Salt Lake should be a good one.

I guess you are a young guy who really has all the freedom to look all you want! I am without a hat-hanger now as I lost my husband three years ago. I still love football and if I don’t have company I jump up and yell like an idiot! Its fun! I always think “if someone should walk up to the door, they would think I was crazy”. I talked to a girl that was on this thread today and we found out we only live 20 miles apart...isn’t that strange?

You guessed correctly!

I suppose that’s why I try to save my cash so I can go to games in person so I’m not yelling and screaming at my house. :) That and it’s a great excuse to tell you people you like to travel.

Ok, who were the two retards who voted Michigan #1?

Probably Lloyd Carr and Charlie Weis...

I would like to agree with you, but I won’t for fear of jinxing my Trojans...

I have a USC ring on my finger, and I don't really believe in jinxes, although I've been known to shine it at the TV screen when things got tough in the ridiculous hope that I might affect the next play.

The bottom line going into this season is that USC should have one of the best football teams ever assembled in college football history.

They've been ranked #1 or #2 in recruiting high school talent for at least 4 years now.

Those guys are the players, and Booty is probably, or at least possibly, the next Heisman winner.

It's not a question of talent for USC. It's a question of whether they can live up to the expectations placed upon them. It's not easy being ranked #1 coming out of the chute. Every game you play is someone else's Super Bowl.

I have two grown sons, one is happily married, the other is divorced for ten years and has a serious love interest now. They are engaged but have broken up three times. They worry me a lot but I have to keep my mouth shut! The married son loves football and the unmarried son likes some of it but he is not crazy like me and his brother!

Or in the case of, say, Idaho, it's somebody's paycheck. :)

I heard, but don’t know for sure, that the Idaho game was scheduled as a thanks to a former USC coach, who may not even be there anymore.

Regardless, it’s going to make a ton of money of them to come to USC and get slaughtered.

Yeah, I think that former coach might have been Tom Cable, who is now on Lane Kiffin’s staff with the Raiders.
