2008 NCAA Football Thread

[Skinny Bastard]

I love karma - and so in his debut at Michigan, Mr Rordriguez and his Michigan team were defeated by my alma mater, the Runnin' Utes from the University of Utah! GO UTES
and GO Karma!

This is going to be another amazing season of College Football...I'm glad that the Horns will be flying under the radar this year...With an improved defense, and Oklahoma's tendency to choke, we should be sitting pretty by the end of the season...

Hey - I already started a 2008 ncaa thread... want to merge them? or just keep this one open for discussions...????

[AYHJA]

You started this one... :D

I split that post from the 2007 NCAA thread, which I figured you must have posted by accident...Worked out well though, you got the news thread started and pinned, and we have this thread for general talk and banter... :D

How about Tennessee loosing...AND Mississippi State loosing to un-ranked, supposedly send-tier type programs..? I know UCLA is UCLA, but looking at their schedule on paper, 6-5 seemed reasonable...Mississippi State continues to shock and amaze, and not in a good way...I think I heard that La Tech hasn't won a game against a BCS school EVER...This is almost as bad as the loss to Maine...ALMOST...

But, not to be outdone, #25 Pitt got the shit kicked out of them by Bowling Green, Clemson got dealt with by Alabama, and #17 Virginia Tech got smashed by East Carolina...

USC..? Damn, I bet they could beat 50% of the pro teams...

I absolutely love college football man...Unmatched..!

USC looked absolutely amazing and Tennessee just handed that game to UCLA. How do you force 4 interceptions in the first half and then lose the game! 4 INT's and only a 7 point lead going into halftime? Damn....but Tennessee is known for letting games just slip out of their hands

Anybody want to set the spread on the USC vs OSU game..? I know every game is a new game, but...OSU had a rough time with OHIO last week, and USC is deeper than any football team in the nation, high school, pro, or otherwise...A career backup at USC is staring his first NFL game this Sunday...When you're a backup and still get a shot at the NFL, that says plenty...

I think it will resemble the National Championship last year...Start out like its good, but USC will have the subs in by the middle of the third...I might do some tailgating this weekend though, Auburn @ MSU this weekend...Should be good...I gotta get me another lawn chair though...

[trashtalkr]

I have USC winning by 10. They have the depth and the experience to win this game. Beanie Wells is going to be a huge target for the Trojan defenders. The first tackle he faces will be right at his knees....

[AYHJA]

Shid TT, you must have been smoking plennie dope...They might have only lost by 3 touches if Beanie had played...What a drubbing...If OSU is the class of the Big10, that should say plenty about their conference...

Michigan lost to Notre Dame today...

[trashtalkr]

Yeah I was way off on my prediction. Ohio State got their ass kicked! USC is the real thing....again...


In other NCAA news, did you see the Auburn/Mississippi State score? Auburn squeaked out a 3-2 win. No lie
