I hardly ever watch college football for the simple fact of 75% of the matchups are jokes. It's like my friend says, "They have USC against Southwast Montana Technical School for the Blind." It's a joke.ANd we all know some team will screwed over by the BCS.

USC and Texas are both gonna suck this year because neither has a proven QB. Meanwhile, ND has Brady Quinn and they were very good last year too.

Most teams play two games that can be considered lopsided gimmies. 2 games on a 12 game schedule is hardly 75%. </span>

Let's look at Notre Dame's schedule.@ GT- SquashPenn StateMichigan@ Mi. StatePurdue- Wow hard gameStanford- SquashUCLA@ Navy- SquashUNC- Squash@ Air Force- SquashArmy- Squash@ USC7 out of 12 are easy wins. So 58% of the games they should win no problem. You could throw Mi. State on that list as well.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TCOF @ Aug 5 2006, 10:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>@ GT- Squash</div>You do realize that Georgia Tech has the best WR in all of College Football and they're at home. That's probably not a 'Squash'
Michigan's the darkhorse this year. Chad Henne and Mike Hart will explode for career years, and both compete for awards. I think they'll at least finish 2nd in the Big Ten, and a possible, not that great of a chance, but possible bid at the National Championship. Especially since to go undefeated they'd have to beat both ND and OSU.

Or a Big 10 schedule?How is this any different AT ALL from the NFL? Look at the AFC East. Mmmm...real tough division there. Pats get Buffalo and the Jets twice...that's 4 gimmies right there. How about the NFC West? Boy...Seattle sure has a tough road. And you show your complete ignorance on the matter by dimissing Georgia Tech, Purdue, and Michigan State. Nice job.</span>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Kicker @ Aug 12 2006, 04:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Penn State is ranked 19th? No way. They're much better than that. I agree most of the list though.</div>They lost alot....Michael Robinson (their QB) who was the heart and soul of the team.Their entire secondary.3/4 of their Defensive Line4/5 of their Offensive Line.They have alot of players who have to prove alot for it to be a successful season. 19th is about right for a team with 9 of 22 starters returning.
<span style="color:#6600CC">Well, they are returning all of those stud LBs...and those WRs. Plus, Morelli may be a better QB than Robinson. Notice I said QB and not athlete.</span>
