2014 College Football Season

Season Kicks Off tomorrow I know there has to be plenty of others excited to see the season finally here...


So any bold predictions?

Favorite teams?

Week 1 has some good matchups along with the stat padding warm up games.

Florida State seems to have a spot almost guaranteed in the first playoff... but we will see its a long season

I myself am an Oregon Duck looking to see Mariota and the team have the greatest year in the history of the school. However, the Pac-12 is really showing itself now as the 2nd strongest conference.


Let's see what the year brings!

for the poll UCLA was ment to be All others....whoops

Write-in candidate: Auburn.

thks for clearing up the ucla thing, i put mine there because i don`t think any of those will win.

Yea well how about you just write in your pick then on posts from now on...

Anyone else not surprised on how sluggish Florida State has seemed to look?

And what a rough week for the Big Ten I wasn't all that surprised on Virginia Tech taking down Ohio St but for Michigan state to just stop playing with Oregon after the 3rd quarter and then for Michigan to not even get points up against Notre Dame....Damn.....I'm glad I am a Pac-12 fan....


UCLA is looking very weak so far. USC and Stanford wasn't that much of a WOW game more of a well someone had to win and that team made less mistakes....

sorry i feel that auburn is the unrated in the sec.. the big 10 did get smacked around, but i think that mich st would be called a quality loss. i don`t think it`ll hurt them much. the pac 12 not looking bad this year at all. that usc vs standford game was a good game to watch.

well after last nights game i may have given auburn more credit than they deserve. they had a tough go with a mediocre defense.

Lets get this thread going! I could talk college ball all day!

We should start making picks

Ucla played its best defensive game while Arizona played its worst of the season. If Bruins keep this defensive momentum they have a good chance at taking the South.

Oregon vs. Stanford was a big game for the pac12. Notre dame who lost by a penalty vs FSU only beat stanford by 3. Oregon's dominance on offence and their exponential improvement on D will jolt them into a playoff spot. Theirs to lose.
+500yards on a team that averages 250 ypg defensively!

Auburn vs. Ole miss was a close one. Mistakes dictated this game. Neither team looks like they could beat bama right now.

Miss st. Vs Ark. Wtf??? Msu found a way to get the W in this toilet bowl. Every other top 10 team lost their toilet bowl... msu is tough on D. Maybe the best defense in the nation.

Utah vs. ASU. I think this was a pretty telling game. Not sure why Kelly is getting the startsat qb. Honestly I think their backup has more chemistry with the receivers. Just my opinion though. Utah proved they are not over hyped. Excellent defensively. Their star receiver was out and that missing production was probably the difference in the game. Utes pick a bad day to be less than the best on special teams (their strongest category)

FSU vs. Louisville. If FSU doesn't drop in the rankings im not sure why. Oregon dominates a team that lost by 3 to a notre dame that wasin position to beat FSU. FSU pulls out a 4th quarter momentum swing and a lapse in coverage to barely beat a #25 Louisville. FSU is much weaker this year. Mich state is better. Oklahoma, K state, and Baylor could beat them on any given day. I see them as more of a #6 team.


Let the debates begin

i don`t know about debating them but i do love love college football, so i`am in.
let me start by saying i`am glad we have a play off of sorts, but i think it should have more teams. who picks the board to make the decisions of who`s in and who`s not, connie rice, come on she is a basketball fan not football fan at all.

i`ll stick with auburn as the overall winner for the year. i feel they just find ways to win big games and that says a lot. i know they lost to ms state but they were lacking a few key players that game. the bama game will tell the story on this one.

fsu couldn`t beat half of the top 25, they just don`t have the team for it. i may consider them a top 15 team maybe. when the polls come out tuesday i think they should drop again. i think one of the fla teams will get them, before the seasons over, they still have to play miami and fla. if they are a one loss team their schedule wont let them stay in the top contenders.

dame is not that good at all. they are an ok team but i just don`t see them as a championship team.

bama is very beatable this year. i could spend a day talking about their weakness this year. they have 3 key players and if you can slow them, not stop them just slow them and most any team could beat them. look at what tn did to them last week, they kept them pinned down in the second half. i think they`ll lose one more if not 2 before the year is out.

ms state...doesn`t matter how good either is, when they play ark its always that way. your right it was ugly. i feel they will lose their game against ol miss, its a very emotional game and i just don`t think they can contain wallace(if he comes to play).

i do like the ducks but i couldn`t believe they beat standford the way they did. standford D is better than that, or atleast i thought they were. i did feel the ducks would win , i just felt it would have been closer. mariota is a no quit player, you got to respect the guy.

the sooners i think will have another loss this year as well.

mich state i saw play the ducks just didn`t impress. they have ost next week it should tell. they have a real weak schedule so its hard to say, how good they are.

heres the new ap poll.....top 25........one thing is for sure ala(4) or au(3) will be a 2 loss team by the end of the year. tomorrow night the championship rankings, i`ll post here. watch out for tcu, i would love to see tcu or baylor play oregon. they have similar high scoring teams. tcu scored 14 in 2 mins this weekend, wild.

oh my the sooners are getting their ass handed to them. 44 unanswered that is weak. it aint over yet,still more than 7min on the clock.

Damn Seminoles. Miami had 'em damnit they had em then let up and played like they had the lead. Not how to get it done! Ugh.

I'm just at this point hoping somebody from the Big 10 makes the playoffs. Found it odd this poll only asked number 1 since it is the first year of playoffs and #1 doesn't mean what it used to. Still helps in the playoffs kinda, since 1 plays 4.

miami gave it a good shot. the noles have a golden horseshoe, calls just seem to fall their way and some luck.
i don`t think with the rise of tcs and baylor that any of the big10 will make the cut.

Yeah I agree totally, but I'd still LIKE to see Big 10 make the cut, somehow.

they have a good shot next year. this whole play off thing makes things difficult to even think of whats going to happen next.

The top teams in the country are bama and miss st. everyone else is a pretender.

Heeheheheh well lookie there, OHIO STATE #4 in the playoff!!!!

Miss. St blew their spot. Ohio State will beat Bama (I hope), Oregon will beat FSU (Pretty sure of that one), Ohio State Oregon in the finals.

i don`t think ost can beat bama......i will agree with the ducks beating fsu........the only advantage that ost has over bama is the qb. there will be very limited film on this guy, but i think once he hits ground once or twice we see how he does....

I think Alabama beats ohio st in a surprisingly close game. And I'm going with fsu in a close great game. 29 straight wins and defending champs. I know they had a few close games they could/should of lost. But I'm predicting Fsu. Nobody thought they would beat auburn last year either.
