Thread: 2010-2011 College Football Thread

I know I'm a little early but what the hell. I'm a big college football fan and I follow mostly SEC (LSU) and Pac 10 (WAZZU), but I love the atmosphere in general and even will watch Ivy league games. I am excited for the season to start so if you want to talk about any recent news or updates in the college ranks or bs about games played here we go and to start it off here is the preseason coaches poll and a link with the schedule for the upcoming year's game. FTR, I'm not a big fan of the preseason polls.

I thought I'd never see the day of a Big10CG but the official site has been chosen which will be Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy. The cheeseheads in Wisconsin thought for sure it would be at Lambeau Field!!

I got this idea from someone at BM!

Predict your college team's overall record for 2010/2011 and what bowl they'll get to at the end of the year!

LSU - 8-4 / Cotton Bowl

WAZZU - 2-10/ Sitting on the couch

South Carolina Gamecocks: 8-4 vs Penn St. in the Outback Bowl

26 more days.....

any hawkeye fans?

Im hoping the new coach for UVA does well. We need to get back into the competition.

Do you get the "SportSouth" channel? They just had a look into Virginia's camp on yesterday afternoon.
He seems to be a very strict, disciplined, no BS type of guy. Has his game face on 24/7. Said he's really happy with the defense. Offense still needs some work.

We do get reports of their camps but i always seem to miss the shows. But from what ive heard its exactly like you said he's a very no nonsense kind of guy so im hoping that translates well for the club. He did some pretty good things for Richmond when he was there so we shall see how it turns out.

Texas Longhorns: 12-2, Sugar Bowl

Good find Skinny!

The Ohio State University Buckeyes....11-1.......and yet.....another BCS Bowl game.
GO BUCKS!!!

I look forward to discussing college football here.....
Hope everyone's favorite team does well.....just not better than the buckeyes....

They better keep Ohio State vs. Michigan as the last game of the season.......or fans around here in Ohio will riot......we don't like it when they mess with tradition too much.....

Ha! I was about to ask you about that! CGs (no matter the conference) are always played after regular season ends. I guess Ohio St will be rioting unless they don't make it to the B10CG.
