College Football 2007-2008

You know, Ranger...my dream is that Boise and Hawaii go into their showdown at the end of the season with both teams undefeated. That would be sweet.

I'd stay up to watch it!

What I hope to see this year ...

• My Orange starting off this season with a win tonight, and begining to claw back to respectability.
• A Big East team in the BCS title game, and another strong year for the conference
• More bad football from the ACC, just because
• A second Pac 10 team to join USC in the BCS, and a strong year from the conference overall (because due to regional progamming I'm going to see a lot of Pac 10 football anyway)
• Someone to crash the BCS. But not Hawaii; I'm sorry they couldn't get a BCS conference opponent, but they didn't get one, so I'll be cheering for Boise when they meet in Hawaii's only actual game this year.
• Some improvement from SDSU. Even with only a little local talent, the Aztecs ought to be a mid-major power, not a doormat.

You really think Booty will win the Heisman?

I think USC's a better bet to be #1 for the whole regular season than OSU was last year, and Booty's likely to put up better passing numbers than Troy Smith did. And a QB of the #1 team (especially when said school is a very high-profile program like Southern Cal or Ohio State) with good passing numbers is a pretty good bet for the Heisman.

The upset of the young season last night was I-AA Illinois State University losing to Drake University 27-24.

What is so amazing about that game?
ISU ranked #7 in I-AA with 53 scholarships

Drake 0 (yes zero) scholarships

How does that happen?

I think McFadden will run all over that theory.

Booty though won't have as many cool plays as Troy did even though his numbers will be better. I also agree that the competitions will be tighter for the Heisman.

Lot of the big schools have scrimmages this weekend. It's quite shameful.

I think McFadden will run all over that theory.

... for half a season, but at some point Arkansas will have lost three games and no one will talk about him anymore. Same thing's going to happen to the Slaton/White combo after WVU loses to Louisville and Rutgers. I'm thinking the guy that's going to really push Booty is Brohm, but at the end of the day, the award's chosen by sportswriters and ex-Heisman winners. They aren't going to pick a Louisville guy over a USC guy.

May get a Heisman thrown Brennan's way though.

I hope you don't mean that literally. He's a passer not a receiver.

Because of the weak game schedule, my team not only has to get a W for each and every game this season, they gotta "murder" them on the field.

My simple dream is to have Boise State annihilated.

Are the Wolverine fans in hiding now? I had to turn on the game to prove to myself the score was accurate. How can they be losing to Appalachian state? I mean it's not even a real state!!!
