NCAA Football Thread (2010)

So glad college football is almost back.

I'm not expecting too much from ND this year, but I'd like for them to finish in the top 25.

Well...if they win 8 against a crap schedule with 3 road games then they'll get voted in no matter what.

I don't know if they'll win 8. Crist (new QB) didn't look too good in the Spring game. Montana looked solid, though. He might actually get the job. The D is pretty weak, but Te'o is the crap.

5 should be the minimum this year.  At least one of the 3 true road games, at least a split with the service academies at neutral sites, and at least 3 of the 7 home games.  I would anticipate 2 road wins, 2 neutral site and either 3 or 4 at home.  That's what happens when you schedule Tulsa and Western Michigan.

Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of their schedule. At least they signed that 3-game deal with Miami. Smart move.

Who do you root for?

BCS sucks. Playoffs. Now.

(just getting that out of the way now).

No one in particular.  I like the way things are run at UMD and WVU.  My alma mater is only IAA so I never really had a top team to follow.  I do like to follow the teams close enough to visit fairly easily so I guess I root for the two above as well as UVA, Marshall and PSU to be good enough to hop in the car and go see a game.

[CALSGR8]

I follow MD and Navy primarily.  However, I went to a small school in OHIO that is Division III.  They've never had a good team though.  But still,

GO HIRAM COLLEGE TERRIERS!!!!

You can't ever underestimate Tulsa. They can score 578 points.

[Kevrock]

I have been falling out of love with CFB in recent years. I still enjoy sitting down and watching a game, but trying to follow CFB closely has gotten painful so I've let go. Agents, non-regional-rivalries-be-damned super conferences, BCS campaigning, money money money... no one is even pretending that CFB is an amateur sport anymore.   

I guess I'll root for Boise State to win out and break the BCS before it's too late.

[HalfSmokes]

My school is 1AA, I don't know who to root for usually. I might adopt UVA this year.

And allow 842.

Ditto. Are any of you guys going to Boise/VA Tech at FedEx?

I won't even put indirect money in the midget tyrant's pockets.  I may catch MD/Navy that day at M&T Bank.

[DPMOmaha]

There's an awful lot of excitement around these parts for this season.  If we get any QB production at all, we'll be national title contenders.

[PatsNats28]

is that a big rivalry?

CFB isn't a sport made to follow as a whole.  It's made to follow a specific team or conference as part of the whole.

Why not? By the way, I'm very annoyed that the MWC isn't on TV, I won't be able to watch Boise after this year.

I thought MWC was on Vs.  That's not really TV, but it's kinda close.

[DPMOmaha]

Why not? By the way, I'm very annoyed that the MWC isn't on TV, I won't be able to watch Boise after this year.

Because there are too many teams.  I'm not saying it's not possible, but it can be difficult if you don't have a dog in the fight. 

And Boise's not in the MWC, they're in the WAC, they don't move until next year.

Hey, sometimes I get ahead of myself.  MWC is on a lot out here.  Have a nice little network, kinda a poor mans Big 10 network.  I'm sure that will get picked up a bit more as the conference profile expands.

I'm going to PSU vs IN at Fedex.

[PatsNats28]

I'm going to PSU vs IN at Fedex.

IN? Is that Indiana? If so, that game will be over in the first quarter. Like really, Indiana should be in the MAC.

[PANatsFan]

In this area, it will be a PSU home game. I'm so excited.
