Go Huskies!

 

[Lonestar]

what have you done?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

GO BLUE.

We need Harbaugh to do a new rap video.

 

[Googly Eyes Dog]

No way Wisconsin finishes in the top 10 but I'll take it!

 

[JCX]

I barely watched any football last weekend, but the UT-ND game was fun to watch.

 

[mre]

what have you done?

Just keepin' it real. MIssissippi is lucky they didn't fit on one screen even with my monitor rotated and I was too lazy to cut them in.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Florida Gators are the 3rd best team in Florida now going by the AP. SEC should trade them for FSU or Miami

 

[Already Torn]

I really hope Penn State fails to win a single major in-state game all year.

 

[Lonestar]

Florida Gators are the 3rd best team in Florida now going by the AP. SEC should trade them for FSU or Miami

Well, FSU had it's chance, so I guess it's Miami. Alabama will at last have plenty of storage space for it's trophies: Hard Rock Stadium

 

[Mortemis]

Nice to see us at #8. Go huskies.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

UCF with their 3rd straight win vs. a top 10 opponent.

 

[andycapps]

Bit of a shock to the system to go from such a great opening slate to having to talk myself into thinking Tennessee and Va Tech will be a good game. Will be interesting for the venue if nothing else. Going to be weird.

 

[bucknuticus]

FREE GONDO

 

[flkraven]

Wasn't super impressed by Georgia even though they got the W. Obviously they finished better than they started. Huge rankings jump though.

 

[Lunar15]

Boy, I am really not ready for another season of the Gators having a miserable O-line, medicore-to-bad quarterback, and a stable of running backs who can't get more than 4 yards a carry. After 7 years, it's grown pretty tiring. Can we at least mix up the badness every once in a while?

I am I am!

 

[AlteredBeast]

Go Big Red!

 

[SliceSabre]

Ohio State ought to be first.

 

[Lunar15]

I am I am!

I'm just glad I went to school there from 2007-2011 and not now.

Real question is, what is Georgia going to do between now and the UF game to screw up their chances like they somehow tend to do?

 

[bucknuticus]

Ohio State ought to be first.

Slow your roll. I agree alabama should be ranked higher than 1 but idk who should be new sub 1 under mega 1

 

[cdyhybrid]

Ohio State ought to be first.

Nah.

 

[Lonestar]

Ohio State ought to be first.

I don't know, they let Bowling Green score 10 points

 

[killertofu]

Go Gators?

 

[jfkgoblue]

Sorry to nitpick, but the featured games rankings are the preseason rankings

But I just gotta say, that Wisconsin game looks tougher than anticipated(still expect a W though)

 

[perfectchaos007]

Well, FSU had it's chance, so I guess it's Miami. Alabama will at last have plenty of storage space for it's trophies: Hard Rock Stadium

Wow I thought Hard Rock went chapter 11 a while back. Surprised they could afford naming rights. I wonder if there's a KMart stadium somewhere

UCF with their 3rd straight win vs. a top 10 opponent.

Kansas and UCF each went 0-12 last year. This year they both start 1-0
sign of the apocalypse?

 

[Rad Shadow]

Canes back in the rankings.

Oh yeah!!!!

 

[ag-my001]

I find myself falling back into the A&M hype train. Luckily, I can boost my pre-season predictions and still say the Aggies will go 6-6.

Gig'em!

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

I'll take a 12:30 kickoff over a 9pm kickoff any week. I won't have ty spend the entire day worrying then.

 

[stonesak]

Unless your QB is named Brandon Harris, you should be good.

 

[Mac the KNife]

GO GREEN!

WEEK 2 BYE WOOOOOO *fart*

 

[andycapps]

Ohio State ought to be first.

You know what they say about opinions.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Hope there's some great games this week.

 

[SerArthurDayne]

Well, I made it to week 2 this year, but unfortunately the Gators didn't. I feel like 25 was about right, but I guess that's a vulnerable spot when a few previously unranked teams looks strong week 1, and teams like Sparty started out ranked too high to drop out with a bad win. We might even be unranked against the Vols, as historically I doubt a win over Kentucky has vaulted very many teams into the rankings.

 

[jfkgoblue]

GO GREEN!

WEEK 2 BYE WOOOOOO *fart*

Who decided that was a good idea? 11 straight weeks without a bye is gonna be tough

 

[TheCochese]

Ohio State ought to be first.

 

[Lonestar]

Looking at that wiki, the stadiums had almost 10 names in the last 15 years.

Spoiler

It'll always be Joe Robbie to me. Whoever Joe Robbie is...

 

[chicko1983]

The U is back!

It would be awesome if they finished the season higher than Georgia.

Joe Robbie is the founder of the Dolphins. That stadium just underwent a massive renovation and it looks quite updated now. The main addition was shading for the stadium. They're of course hoping to get a Super Bowl.

 

[Fragamemnon]

Holy War this week-these games are always so insane. You have to go back to the days of Florida playing Miami regularly to find dirtier football. Amazing stuff.

WSU on the smurf turf should be a very fun game. I still can't believe Wazzu lost their FCS opener again. That's just unreal.

Houston making the best P5 argument of any school not named Boise St. in recent memory by just basically being a P5 school. Really impressive stuff.

Aggies playing at USC this week, this won't end well after what Alabama did to USC. I"m holding out hope that if the Huskies can win there, anyone can.

 

[superdeluxe]

<------- Go Dawgs

 

[andycapps]

Hope there's some great games this week.

Have a seat while I give you some bad news...

<------- Go Dawgs

Good to see another Georgia fan!

 

[Yaboosh]

Oh god you aren't latching on to them now are you.

Got any quick and small DE's or LB's? Have them run at and around their 6'9" 360 lb RT.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Oh god you aren't latching on to them now are you.

He's a fan of them because he watched the 30 for 30 documentary. Probably a fan of SMU too

 

[jwhit28]

It used to be exciting when Va Tech played ranked non-conference opponents.

 

[Monroeski]

You've made a powerful enemy today, Sun Devils.

 

[TheCochese]

Tortillas?

 

[chicko1983]

Oh god you aren't latching on to them now are you.

I said I liked the U after I watched their espn doco and got shot down in here. So now my ACC team is Georgia tech.

But it would be great if richt does well there and Georgia ends up on 9 wins this year. I thought richt was hard done by, so it would be great for him.
