    Default The Official 2011-12 College Football Season Thread

    The summer is almost over and it is time to buckle that chinstrap and get set for college football season. Cooler temps. Coeds in sweaters. Endless fights over who should be #1. Gotta love it.

    So, here are some questions while we wait for next Saturday's kickoff week of mostly cupcakes:

    1) Who'll be the national champion?
    2) Who'll win the Heisman Trophy?
    3) Name the 10 teams you expect to earn a BCS bowl bid.
    4) Which storied program is going to have the worst record - Ohio State, Texas, Miami or Notre Dame?
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    4) Da U
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    Kickoff this Thursday! I guess the QBs will be closely watched this year due to this being a supposedly great QB class especially Luck, Barkley, and Jones. Looking forward to some SEC and PAC 12 football!


    The games I'm looking forward to:

    LSU/Oregon - Tigers seem to be going deeper into the hole with losing their starting QB and few other players to suspension and now losing the best starting guard, Josh Dworaczyk, to injury. I hope the defense is up to the task because the offense isn't looking good. Ducks have their issues as well.
    GO TIGERS!

    Boise St/Georgia - Don't let the SEC down Bulldogs!

    Idaho St/Wash St - I hope Cougs can get off to a good start against a cupcake.....if not, then it's going to be another long year!

    Colorado/Hawaii - Welcome to the Pac 12 Buffs! Can CU actually win a road game for a change?!?

    Stanford, USC, and OU games.......anything less than blowouts will be disappointing for Luck, Barkley and Jones!

    Well, BTB, Miss St has gotten off to a good start kicking the crap out of Memphis.....and some pundits thought this would be an upset special!

    1) Who'll be the national champion? Oklahoma
    2) Who'll win the Heisman Trophy?
    Landry Jones
    3) Name the 10 teams you expect to earn a BCS bowl bid.
    NC Game - Oklahoma over Alabama
    Rose Bowl - Nebraska over Stanford
    Sugar Bowl - Georgia over Boise State (revenge for the Bulldogs)
    Orange Bowl - Texas over South Florida
    Fiesta Bowl - TCU over Oregon
    4) Which storied program is going to have the worst record - Ohio State, Texas, Miami or Notre Dame? Ohio State
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    OH, you think Baylor is going to upset TCU? Pollard from ESPNU thinks so......game on in 15 min. I don't think so, but you know the Big 12 and does TCU have the talent like last year.

    The defense will be better than '09's. Returning 4 OLmen, returning the best back in the NCAA.

    2. Trent Richardson Alabama

    3. I don't know

    4. Miami.

    You know this is nice North.....it's only 7:15 here where as I'd probably be asleep if I still lived in Minot and missing a game like this. I'm not a night person....I use to be 15 yrs ago
