College Football season is getting closer. And I hope USC can bring balance to the Force. This is also the last hurrah for the BCS system, playoffs are coming after this season.

Meh, I hope it's none of the options. Can't wait for the season to start. I already took September 1st off work so I can watch the Michigan vs Alabama game.

Probalby either whoever wins the title game between the winner of the Pac-12 or SEC. My early guess would be Alabama seeing as they have the best coach, best-oline, great if not the best defense, and an improved passing game,

I would like a non-SEC school to win it. Of course if you asked me I hope it would be the Wisconsin Badgers but highly unlikely. Losing Russell Wilson was the nail in the coffin but I think a likely bid for the Rose Bowl is a possibility. I am not buying into Oklahoma, but I could see USC challenging Alabama or LSU. USC is a good contender because while I think their defense will probably be a Top 15 defense, LSU or Alabama will play a pretty high octane offense. USC may not be able to match them defense wise, but if LSU or Alabama played USC it could be some trouble. I don't think LSU, or Alabama will match up with quite an athletic offense that USC has. You can talk about how LSU handled a very athletic team in Oregon last year that was more finesse offense. USC has some big uglies on that line. USC vs Alabama/LSU would be good.

Arkansas without Petrino? No.
South Carolina? lol no.
Georgia doesn't oversign... so no.

USC and UGA are the only teams that can probably compete with the starting lineup of Bama and LSU, but I doubt either has the depth to beat them head-on.

Well yeah, that's what they're trying to prevent... players getting hit after their helmet comes off. When helmets are strapped on correctly, they virtually never come off. Letting players snap in only half of their straps is an unnecessary risk. Call me old-school, but what's silly is watching helmets fly off every other play.

I don't disagree with you on that. Helmets come off way too often and it can be prevented by players strapping it all on. But making them come off the field...meh. Also, another fan has died from falling in a stadium in the NC/Tennessee game.

Why do the NFL and NCAA keep trying to see how their product fares when played overseas. Has anyone honestly met anyone not from the US or Canada who told you that they became a fan of American Football when it came to their country? Because it seems like every single one i've met became a fan either through the internet, through American friends, or through late night channel surfing.

The first Saturday of CFB literally could not have ended any worse for me. Background: I've been a Michigan fan since childhood & I'm a Pitt student now. And then it turns out that Pitt gave $400k to YSU (an FCS school) to give them a beatdown at Heinz Field. Well, it was the other way around... I already lived through UM/App State. God must really hate me.. And then I come home after attending the game to watch Michigan get completely overpowered by a ridiculous Alabama team. This is gonna be a rough season for me :(

I think the sad part is how much ESPN hyped up this game when even Michigan fans went in expecting a loss. I'm a huge Michigan fan myself and although I joked about them beating Alabama, I knew that they were going to lose, I just expected Robinson to do better (he still looks like crap passing the ball). Not many teams can compete with Alabama, let alone teams were the QB cannot hit an open receiver.

Yes, very sloppy was was kind of undesrtandable given who the lost and who they were against. Their offense really only did anything when they got turnovers on D.

Also, I swear Virginia Tech is always ranked pretty high and they always disappoint. They barely pulled the win off yesterday.

Michigan St sure didn't look like a top-15 team in that game. They've got a bizarro version of an offensive line, working totally backwards. The o-tackles sucked at pass protection and dominated on run block, while the guards sucked on the run but did fine during pass.

This is true. It was an overall sloppy game from both teams.

It certainly won't be Oklahoma, so it comes down to the two Pac schools vs. the two SEC schools. Probably Oregon-Alabama in the Championship.

O Line was already bad last year & it's still a huge problem, though the RB's still run surprisingly well even with the incompetence in the trenches. Tino Sunseri is also throwing a decent ball which is good. The offense was also partially damned the past two weeks by the turnovers. Not only could the defense not force them, but the offense gave it up twice in each game.

Even worse is the defense. The front seven is young, relatively small, and severely outmatched. Even against YSU's linemen. THAT'S bad. Also, the tackling is simply atrocious. Where the hell are the fundamentals? Starting to look like Chryst isn't the answer in the Burgh like I thought he would be. As a Michigan fan who endured Rich Rod, I'm VERY pessimistic about Pitt right now. well.... maybe... basketball season can be better :cry:

They beat Auburn without their best player. The problem every year with Clemson is that they win the big game, but flop during the small ones. For instance, last year they were great, and then they got demolished by NC State. -_- grrrrrrr

Well, Auburn got blown out by Miss State yesterday. :P I kind of agree with what you said, but I'd say the Orange Bowl was a pretty big game, and that was just downright ugly for Clemson last season. Also, LA fans definitely have something to be excited for in UCLA. That was a great win last night.

I'm surprised USC didn't go to #3 in the polls, they're secondary isn't impressive at all and it's scaring me.
