College Football Preview--September 3, 2005--Week 1

[POJO_Risin]

and I'm stuck watching the gay ass ACC...

[POJO_Risin]

Top 25 games...

Ball State at Iowa...

yawn...

[POJO_Risin]

Miami (Oh) vs. #6 OSU...

yawn...

[POJO_Risin]

TCU at #7 Oklahoma and UAB at #3 Tennessee...

yawn...yawn...

[POJO_Risin]

Sacramento State (????) vs. #19 California

Western Michigan vs. #25 Virginia...

yawn...yawn...

[POJO_Risin]

Wyoming vs. #10 Florida

yawn...other than the fact that we get to see the Fighting Irish Spurner and his new team...

[POJO_Risin]

LA. LAFayette vs. #2 Texas

yawn...

[POJO_Risin]

#1 USC at Hawaii

yawn...they got the game moved to the afternoon...USC did...because Hawaii is so good at home, at night...

wouldn't have made a difference...

[POJO_Risin]

Notre Dame at #23 Pittsburgh

Weis vs. Wannstadt

should be interesting...pro guys coaching their alma maters...

[POJO_Risin]

#17 Texas A&M at Clemson

Franchione is insane starting off on the road again...

but you get a good win at Clemson...and you move up quickly...I think this will be a good one...

[POJO_Risin]

Georgia Tech at #16 Auburn

they lose 2 top five backs...what will they have this year?

Tech gives them a good opening matchup...

[POJO_Risin]

#8 Virginia Tech vs. NC State

Tech is loaded...State has one of the best defenses in the country...

no offense though...I think this game COULD be close...

we'll see...

[POJO_Risin]

alternate game of the week...#18 Boise State at #13 Georgia

I think Georgia will smack Boise State right back to Idaho...

[POJO_Risin]

#9 Miami at #14 Florida State...

very similar teams...

I like FSU at home..but this should be another good one...and a prime time game...

[monkeythe]

I look at this weekend as a bunch of preseason games with Monday night being the start of a great week of football:
Mon - Fl St vs Miami
Thu - Pats vs Raiders
Sat - Ohio St vs Texas, ND vs Michigan, & hopefully Az St vs LSU
Sun afternoon - NFL SUnday Ticket
Sun Night - Indy vs Baltimore
Monday - Philly vs Atl

we'll see...

could be TOO close..Eddie Royal is the key to the Hokies..if we can get by this one..that #1 ranking is possible..5-6 "easy" games next...

[POJO_Risin]

I don't see how VState is going to pass some of those teams ahead of them though...

I don't know...we'll see...

[Fairwrning]

im talkin 7-8 weeks in poj..IF tech can avoid some upsets...

[POJO_Risin]

I think they can...you'd need USC to get upset...and I don't see that game yet...but haven't seen them play yet...

I believe there will be some complacency there...and if there isn't...for the first time in my life...I can say there is a true dynasty in college football...

I can see Big 10 teams losing...

I can see Tech having that good a team...and Miami and FSU are down this year...so they COULD dominate...we'll see...

but I do think coming down here to NC State is going to be a tough road to hoe...

[Fairwrning]

watching Bowling Green/wisconsin..28-28 in the 2nd quarter...good game

[POJO_Risin]

Wisconsin will win...but they are showing you right now why they aren't going to be worth a shit...

[POJO_Risin]

OSU is up 20-0 on Miami (OH)...and looks good on both sides of the ball...although their defense has been a bit bend but don't break...which I hate..

[Fairwrning]

35-35 now...these guys have NO defense..

[POJO_Risin]

Which is why Wisconsin isn't even the third best team in the Big 11....

[monkeythe]

What the hell is going on with Oklahoma (I got the Ohio St game in my area). Does this look like a legit upset in the making or is it a first half fluke and OU is about to crush them?

[POJO_Risin]

????what's the score?

[monkeythe]

They're losing 10-0 at the half to TCU

[POJO_Risin]

TCU is always underrated...but no way are they as good as Oklahoma...

would piss my pants laughing if they lost...

[monkeythe]

ABC just switched my area to the OU game and OU just scored making it 10-7

[POJO_Risin]

Oklahoma will win...but if they didn't...lmfao...

[monkeythe]

Adrian Peterson just got hurt.. AT least everyone took OU giving up 26. I'm still trying to figure out why the hell I took Ball State.

[POJO_Risin]

lmfao...I can't pick that many against the spread for shit...I don't do enough research...so I'm fucked...I just don't pay much attention to teams out of my likes and dislikes...

if Peterson's done...so is Oklahoma this year...

Held to a field goal...

[POJO_Risin]

TCU is up 17-10...Peterson is still out...

[POJO_Risin]

TCU punting...up 17-10...OU will be DEEP in their own teritory...punting from the 50...

[ALinChainz]

OU takes the loss ... wow.

[monkeythe]

Big 10 goes undefeated (10-0) this week including 2 wins over the Big East.

[Mr. Vengeance]

Notre Dame is going to kick the living shit out of Pitt in about 32 minutes!!!!! I can't wait!

[Va Beach VH Fan]

And Washington loses in Ty's debut...

Where's Icon when you need him ??

If by kick the living shit out of Pitt, you mean tire them out by letting them celebrate touchdowns, they appear to be on their way

[Mr. Vengeance]

Uh huh....It's 7-7 now.....

[monkeythe]

Should be a good game. I was really loking forward to the Boise St/Ga game and that turned out to be crap. That Boise QB sucks.

[Mr. Vengeance]

ND looks good on offense, but I'm a little worried about the D....Just doesn't seem to be too experienced.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I was looking forward to watching the ND/Pitt game, but I have to settle for Texas A&M/Clemson...

[rustoffa]

You can always watch the Tigers/War Eagles/Plainsmen take on the yella jackets!
:D

[Mr. Vengeance]

Jesus...it's 35-13 ND in the 2nd!!!! I am pleasantly surprised! Although I did predict this.

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...where the fuck is Icon?

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...Texas dropped 60 on Louisiana Lafayette...I know they suck...but fucking 60...and a quarter to go...

fuck...

[Mr. Vengeance]

Texas is pretty fucking good, though.

LMFAO.....Tooberville is hatin' it.

[Redballjets88]

texas raped there 3rd string freshman rb is going to be great two td's in his first game in college. i got scared when Vince Young went down after his TD but he was fine after a minute. next week will be this years toughest i think if Texas beats Ohio St. the season will be down hill from there...especially after seeing OU lose...which put a massive smile on my face

hook 'em

[Mr. Vengeance]

Oh great...now the end of the Irish game is pre-empted because a fucking judge dies....WHO CARES?????? HE'S FUCKING DEAD!!!!!! ANYONE WHO CARES WILL WATCH A NEWS NETWORK.

I dunno why....
LMMFAO!

[VHdamaco]

fuck man...

first oklahoma goes down (starting the mayhem with my picks), then i don't win some of picks because of the spread (which i still don't fucking get anyway) and auburn lost too (even further screwing up my picks)...

fuck i love college football...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Hey Poj, is that just me or is there empty seats in the upper deck down at the stadium ??

I would have thought they'd easily sell the Va Tech game out...
