College Football

[stlfisher]

It is that time of the year and I can't wait for college football to get started.  I am thinking that Missouri is going to surprise the pundits a bit. I really really like what Odom and his staff have done so far.

I like OU in the Big 12 and Clemson in the ACC. PAC 12 seems wide open to me.

I would like to see an Alabama and Michigan national championship game as that would be highly entertaining with Harbough and Saban.

 

How is your team looking?

I hope you are right about Mizzou.

I can't stand Saban.

I think Mizzou's success will depend entirely upon whether or not the offensive line is better than last year, which is a huge question mark.  They have enough other pieces, Lock will be better at qb, their backs are going to be good enough if they get any blocking, they have more options in receivers, their special team play should be better, especially running back punts and kick-offs, and their defense should be comparable to last year.  But if the o-line doesn't step up, they are still going to struggle to make first downs, let alone score points.

Yep, the OL will make or break. I can't imagine it could be worse but we will have to see. Tough schedule too.

Man you guys are way more optimistic about MIZZOURAH than me.

I see them getting crushed by WVU in the first game and the rest will be very similar...IMO they are by far the worst team in the SEC, ft hey will be true blood donors  this year.

I think Barry will be lucky to get two wins....I really hope I'm  wrong but, there talent level is bad compared  to the rest of their conference.

Just looking at the pre-season rankings and Arkansas schedule.  Going to be some fun games to watch, and I think the Hogs will play well enough this year to be competitive and maybe pull off an upset or two.  They are going to TCU (#20) September 10, I like the fact that they are playing a good team early on the schedule this year.  Should be a good game to see what they are made of this year.

They have Bama (#1) and LSU (#5) coming to Fayetteville - I wouldn't be surprised to see them upset one of these teams.

They are at Mizzou this year, could be a tough one.

I'll be happy if the Hawgs finish in the top 25. 

Having lived for close to 20 years in Washington, I also follow UW and WA State from a distance.  Both are ranked in the SI top 25 pre-season rankings.  Those 2 teams haven't been in the top 25 together since about the early 90's, especially WA State.

I expect my Tigers will have a good year by most people's standards. I do not expect good enough play by the QB for them to win a National Championship. They also need better play from their O line.

I expect Defense to be solid, but not necessarily world beaters.

I expect there to be significant numbers of people that call for CLM to be fired.

They will likely have 2 SEC losses. They will win their bowl game.

I'd like to see Alabama lose every football game they ever play from now until the end of time.

Well folks, here we go again.

My sentiments exactly! 

Was that an earthquake??
