Sounds like a team that plays in Columbus.

Go Bulls!!!!!!! But seriously, does anyone think Superman will lose a game on his way to his third Heisman!!! Oh wait the big 12 fooled everyone into think their offenses were really that good, while leading people to think the defenses were not that bad. Sorry, SEC hardest schedule week in and week out. Tebow is the man. All 11 defensive starters return. And Urban Meyer is a football god. It is no coincodence he won at Bowlling Green, Ball State and Utah, The man can coach!

Now Go Bulls and Leavit take some lessons from that school two hrs north on 75.

People like to forget that Oklahoma left at least two touchdowns on the field in the first half in the National Title Game. It was a close game, not the blowout people are remembering.

A true blowout would have been what West Virginia did to the Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl two years ago.

Notre Dame is always ranked too high, the BCS is biased towards them, and they are pompus. The fact of the matter is the BCS should give them the same rules as other 1A independents, like Navy. Notre Dame should be forced to play by the same rules everyone else does. This season they have a cupcake schedule for the most part and they can be terrible and still waltz into a BCS game, while most real teams have to play grueling schedules to get in. The non-BCS Conference teams have the hardest time getting to the BCS games, ND should be treated the same way!

You can say that about many teams. ND is not top ten material. But they have a realistic chance of going 8-4 or 9-3 with their schedule, 10-2 if they get lucky. 5-7 or worse is also a possibility, but I like to hope they'll do better than that.

I would not be surprised to see ND in the top 25 at the end of the year.

ESPN Picked them Top 10 at the end of the Year because of their schedule and experience.

Gators for the repeat.

I agree, even though I don't like it!

Schedule and experience? Shoot, and I thought Knute Rockne was dead!

Let's win one against a Division 2 team for The Gipper!

ESPN has been smoking something. If their NCAA Tournament predictions the last few years are anything to go by, then I wouldn't really trust this prediction.

I think they'll have something around 3 or 4 losses. Even if they go 9-3, I doubt they'll be in the top 10.

Anyone know a good cigar bar in Atlanta for me to go celebrate at after Bama vs Vtech?

That's the only thing that scares me right now. TX has to win that game.

I don't know why that game would scare you, Texas is going to spank that ass

GO BIG BLUE. I see a regular season for UK, most likely 6-6 or 7-5, perhaps enough to get us to our 4th bowl game in a row and perhaps our 4th bowl win in a row. I just hope we can beat UT this year and send Kifin home sad for Thanksgiving weekend.

*Texas* going to spank that ass? Maybe when Tejas loses they will put a W down and put asterisks around it...that would be like them.

I could have told you the game was over when they let OU go play in it...

Now, you send Texas to play in it and I bet its a much better, closer game.

All I can say is if *Texas* wins double their National Championships, and then adds one more they will have won the "big game" as many times as Oklahoma...and that is not counting #8 which is coming this year.

I love how people forget about all the times they have blown the conference championship in recent years. I guess the mentality is when we don't even get there we will bust on you for getting there and losing!

Smokin Gator · 08-09-2009, 02:13 PM

Uhmm... all I can say it Go Gators!!! I gotta say I am excited and scared at the same time. I am excited because it looks like an unreal year for the Gators. I am scared because I have seen many years when we looked great and sucked!!!

That being said... I love all of you guys... but once September gets here... every single Auburn and Georgia fan sucks!! Tennessee and Miami fans suck year 'round!!!

WildBlueSooner · 08-09-2009, 02:15 PM

Oh and I cant wait to go to the new Dallas stadium to watch the Oklahoma vs BYU game. Boomer Sooner!

by recent years... do you mean 2001? I think they won by 67 on their last conference championship game.

and I've got at least a fiver that says Texas beats OU this year
